    US Housing Market/Mortgage Rates

    While mortgage rates typically follow the 10-year bonds it doesn't mean it has to mirror it percentage to percentage. Back in 2010 10-year yields was at 4% yet mortgage rates were at 5%. You need to know about how much Mortgage Back Securities (MBS) is out there which also affects rates...

    You ready for the heat wave?

    Fortunately the humidity for this heat wave is low. One medium fan blowing across the sump in garage is enough to keep the tank below 80. I dread the heat wave with high humidity.

    Anybody use instant ocean reef crystals?

    Correct. Just set a reminder to cancel. Worse case if you do get it and forgot to cancel is to return it back at the store. Both salt arriving tomorrow via UPS. Two tracking numbers. Feel sorry for the UPS guy lugging 100 pounds of salt.

    Looks like its back down to 43$ as if right now on my Petco Iphone app. Try that. Repeat delivery is not showing up since I ordered it already as repeat delivery but choose repeat delivery and shipping will become free. Also use Paypal to checkout if having issues.

    Feedback on: SeaSide Tropical Fish-Huntington Beach

    I've been going to Seaside for the past 10 years. At least one of the Hispanic worker has been working there for at least that long as well. Recognizes me every time I visit even though I'm from the Inland Empire. I've been through my share of LFS and Seaside has probably the healthiest fish...
