Why Would My Watch Need THREE Batteries?!

I took one of my favorite watches in for a new battery to a local jewelery store in downtown Lodi, CA on School St.

Lodi Jewelery Store - Danz Jewelers

To my surprise, the young man working there said that my watch took not only two, but THREE batteries! I couldn't believe it! I shouldn't be too surprised though. It IS a pretty special watch...at least to ME anyways.

It's not that expensive of a watch, but I'm sure once you take a close look at it, you'll agree that it's pretty darn special. No, it's not a kids' watch, but sometimes I feel like a kid when I'm wearing it, and sometimes I even feel heroic.

Batman watch

By the way, the Bat Symbol can be set to 'flash' on and off or just stay 'on' all the time. THAT's actually why it takes three batteries instead of one. Two of the batteries are just for the flashing Bat Symbol alone. Cool, huh?

THWACK! BAM! ZAP!

Thank you Danz Jewelers for getting me back in action so I can fight those Short Sale lenders and know exactly how much time they're wasting by not approving these Short Sales in Lodi, and Stockton areas fast enough.

It's Lodi Grape Festival Time Again!

I recently wrote about the Downtown Lodi Farmers Market as being one of the many draws for Lodi, CA as well as many other cities around the country. Now I'd like to introduce you to our annual Lodi Grape Festival that is running tomorrow, Sept 16, through this coming Sunday, Sept 19.

Lodi Grape Festival Main Sign

The Lodi Grape Festival is a huge attraction for the city of Lodi itself, but also for the local economy and businesses, like the hotels, restaurants, gas stations, etc. The festival's main purpose is to promote the agriculture in the San Joaquin Valley. There will be many attractions and fun things to keep all who attend entertained throughout the event.

What will the festival do for the local real estate market? I'm hopeful that the people attending the festival from out of the area will see what a wonderful community we have here in Lodi, CA, and perhaps consider moving to Lodi and maybe even buying one of the many homes for sale here in town. There are great deals on Short Sales and REO foreclosures in Lodi as well as Stockton, Galt, Lockeford, and surrounding areas. The market is all about supply and demand. We have a good supply and some areas are in high demand.

Make it a great day and week!
