West view from my living room. Much better than last night. Living in CA is expensive but the weather is worth it if you can afford it!! State Farm ins just let us know that our home owners ins would go from $2,500 per year to $8,500 per year. They are not writing Ca anymore in areas like mine. Last year we had to spend over $30,000 having a new roof and having trees trimmed and some landscaping taken out or they would cancel us. Gasoline close to $5 a gal. Electric bill approaching $500 per month, house is all electric. Natural gas wasn’t in alpine when we bought here in 78.

Hey Far, our insurance went up over 100% for this year so we shopped around and found a company that was an increase of only 25% and went with them for identical coverages. The problem I have with these companies is that they are paying actors and athletes millions to do advertising for them when in most states we are required by law to be insured. They need to quit spending money for celebrities to advertise for them whether it is the KC Chief players and coach or Mayhem man for Allstate and many others. Save the money and reduce our premiums.IMO
We are with a company named Westfield and they are rated one of the top companies in the US. They do no advertising and only work with top rated brokers.

Time to shop around for a different insurance company? And maybe a wood burning stove? Yikes, those bills are really high!!


Hey Kandy, our insurance provider up charged us for having a wood burning furnace with a masonry chimney. Safe as it can get.

Hey Man, I worked for a union door co I 1968 that one guy that worked there when we were on a commercial job he would look for something to steel. And one time we were on a small housing tract and he saw some big potted trees for the site and he wanted to put some on our trailer and take to his house. And I was driving so I said no way. He was also a volunteer sheriff after hours. His name was Weldon but we called him welfare. He was about 15 to 20 years older than me in my early 20s. He was the most useless person I ever worked with.

Makes you wonder what went on with his volunteer sheriff duties I bet. Wonder what he let slide with his hand out.

He was so useless that we told him he had to back up to get his pay check!!! In those days it was hard to fire a union worker. We were in the carpenters union.

Say no more " union ". That explains his attitude knowing it was difficult to fire anyone.
