This morning, I did something that was out of my routine. Instead of checking my emails first thing, I viewed the town's most talked about videos featuring a celebrity doctor and his separate trysts with three models slash showbiz personalities, in various states of undress. It is because my web-connected friends have been talking about them that I had to ask for a link, rather belatedly.

Probably. If there's one belief that has been inculcated on me by other people, it is that you invest in land today with the hope that prices will appreciate in the future. Still have to test if the hypothesis is true, since I haven't disposed of any piece of real estate to see if substantial gains can be had...or not.
