I always enjoyed Weather Report when Jaco Pastorius played with them

I got a mortgage for my house 22 years ago and paid it off last year, at the time rent and mortgage costs were close enough that it made sense to buy instead of enriching someone else. In todays market it would be a much bigger financial burden and not worth the investment in my opinion. My house has doubled in value over the last 22 years but I don't believe that is going to happen for todays home buyers. At some point the housing market is going to take a down turn and folks are going to be under water on their mortgage. Renting a house today in my area costs at least double what a mortgage costs and with banks requiring a much larger down payment than in the past I can see why many folks are stuck renting. It seems like a catch 22, pay high rental fees or come up with a substantial down payment while paying said rental fees.

As long as you do not wash the eggs they will keep on the counter unrefridgerated for about 2 weeks. There is a natural coating on the eggs that protects them from decay. All store bought eggs are washed, candled and refridgerated and can be 30 days old before you buy them at the store. Goggle it or ask a farmer we have one in the family and another is a good friend and they both supply us with eggs.

I would be willing to give it a try to find out what it is like.
