Face to Face ....Are you Looking in the past for the Future?

Well Are You? Everyone that knows me, knows I love old cars, bridges, and buildings...But I also love the new things also, and always get excited when I hear of a new car coming out or a new building going up or somewhere a brand new bridge is being built...

Mr Ford once said "People can have the Model T in any colour--so long as it's black."Well it was 19 years before Henry Ford "Looked to the Past for the Future." And changed his thinking. By the end of 1927 you could have any Model A in 4 different colours ....Just not Black... He went back to the past and gave people a choice.

Now don't get me wrong I love the Internet and all it has done for Real Estate and the vast information and knowledge we can consume from it. How it has opened up a new market for everyone to meet that you would never have found before. I could go on and on with all the good it has done and I'm sure you could add things that I never even thought of...But

Is there really anything better then making a friend or finding love or getting a new client... from a face to face meeting? Is there? I think not. Like I said I love the Internet....maybe to much...But I really love to meet people face to face.

When I was younger we didn't have the Internet and I had to meet people face to face. Maybe its time to look to the past and find the future. Get out from behind your computer and see who your neighbors are, the people at the store, the ones down at the park, the people at your kids schools, they are everywhere.

Yes the computer is great but isn't face to face so much better? If you are ever in my town stop by and see me....Face to Face....

"You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do." Henry Ford You have to go out and do it face to face......zane

Public Domain Photograph Ford Model A A little history if you like.....

There were several cars produced or prototyped by Henry Ford from the founding of the company in 1903 until the Model T came along. Although he started with the Model A, there were not 19 production models (A through T); some were only prototypes. The production model immediately before the Model T was the Ford Model S,[2] an upgraded version of the company's largest success to that point, the Model N. The follow-up was the Ford Model A and not the Model U. Company publicity said this was because the new car was such a departure from the old that Henry wanted to start all over again with the letter A
