Slideshow: Miss Merced County
Somehow I missed this event. It goes to show that there are some great looking people (and cute kids) in our county! Of course, my vote for Miss Merced County went to my lovely wife!

Housing market ends ’07 on slide:
Merced’s housing market ended 2007 on a down note, with prices and sales in December continuing the slide that defined the year.
But the worse is over I am sure! I looked at the retail list of my local development, and you can pick up a BRAND NEW 3 Bed and 2 Bath for $200,000!!!!
So the Iowa caucus’s are now done, with Mike Huckabee and Barack Obama being the winners.
The Iowa caucus are the first step in the process of choosing the presidential nominee’s for each of the 2 national parties here in the USA. It is not a ballot election but more of a number of gatherings where each gathering debates the merits of each candidate and eventually forming a quorum and choosing a candidate. It is a very unique process, something that many here in the US do not fully understand.
I found this good website explaining the caucus process.
