Six months ago we put the house on the market to try and sell it. We got no a few people come by the first few weeks, and then about 1 person a month for the next several. We looked at other houses in the area. There were a lot Read more…
Found a great video put together from the first day of Occupy Houston. It makes me more sad that I missed the march on the first day.
