Arby's Midweek Cheat Meal Experience.

This chicken sandwich was pretty tasty. People tend to dump all over Arby's as a fast food choice. I went last Wednesday for something different. And I chose the chicken sandwich that has some bacon and Swiss cheese on it. 

It was a pretty good sandwich and although I did need a handful of napkins to eat it. I was very satisfied. I supplemented the order with a bottled water and a small batch of their seasoned curly fries.

Arby's was a good choice and the price wasn't too bad at all. Go get one, I believe you will be happily surprised.

Sheriff Grady Judd Puts Out Back To School Message

Hello! This is Sheriff Grady Judd! Public schools in Polk County begin today. There is going to be a lot more traffic this school year and our children are walking and biking to school. Please watch out for them! Allow extra time for local travel and be patient. Please slow down in school zones and stop for school buses that are picking up and letting off our most precious resource, our children. And oh, by the way please remember school buses this year have ticket writing cameras for those who pass stopped school buses. I don’t want to see anyone get a traffic citation. Please, please be safe. Thank you. Let’s make it a great school year!

Above is the message that was sent to all Polk County registered email addresses. I became part of that database since I brought a property inside the Polk County region. I really respect Sheriff Judd and all of his efforts to keep folks safe. I try to limit my traveling during the times of days that children are in school. Do you?

Notices Being Sent In Response To Interest Rate Cuts On The Horizon

This was sent to my email from a home mortgage service. The provider of the loans are usually marketing heavily to the US VETERANS community. I initially attempted to use their services but I went with a more personable lender.

Below is what was included in their current guidance.

Hi Anthony,

Wanted to keep you up to date on some nationwide trends going on in the market. Thought you might find this info helpful!

Inflation has been stickier than anyone expected. However, we’re seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. The June Consumer Price Index (CPI) came in cooler than expected and now sits at 3% for the past 12 months. Morningstar chief US economist Preston Caldwell said, “Today’s news signals that inflation is normalizing and solidifies the case for a Fed rate cut in September.” To be clear, a lot can change between now and September, so nobody really knows what’ll happen but it’s an encouraging sign.

If rates drop, more buyers may jump into the market, which means more competition and higher home prices. I’ve noticed more Veterans who’ve adopted the “marry the house, date the rate” mentality. They’re buying before prices spike again and planning to refinance later as rates drop to lower their payment.

This is just a high-level view, so what you’re seeing on the ground is going to be a little different. Let me know if you’d like to connect and chat through your local market.

I love this stuff and am always happy to talk.

I appreciate you a ton. Take care and I’ll stay in touch!

As I said above, I didn't use their services but I believe they kept my email address in their database.
