Refinancing almost complete - all paperwork was signed today. Should have everything 100% done on Wednesday.

If anyone is refinancing, or getting their first mortgage, let me know and I'll pass on the contact info for Lee (Quicken Loans) - this has been a great experience, and will be saving us lots of money. Of course, anything would be a better experience after the last mortgage, which was handled by a broker who shifted the loan on the day of signing from a fixed to a variable rate (which was about to jump to 11+% for June), and was held by a company who insisted every year that we didn't have insurance (they weren't bright enough to note in permanent ink that they had the subdivision lot number instead of the street address, despite being told that upwards of three times, with appropriate signed paperwork and copies of the insurance policy with the correct address on it.)

As I was giving the notary directions to the house, a bear (about 250 lbs - not a very big one) ran along the path in the back yard. This was Deb's first sighting, and my second. Something must have spooked him, as he was moving along at a fairly good clip, especially for mid-day.

250lbs sounds bigger than I would want to bump into. Living in the UK i just cant imagine what seeing bears in the wild must be like.

I'm not looking forward to bumping into one either - but it is pretty impressive seeing them run through your yard.

I have friends who live in the mountains just outside of Denver. They built a gorgeous custom home with panoramic views of mountains and trees. The house was an timber lodge variation, with huge windows on all sides. One wall of windows was completely streaked with muddy prints.

"Bears." my friend told me, laughing at the look on my face. "They keep trying to get to the bird feeders."

When we drove the primitive road to get to his house, a little black fox with a white tip on his tail, ran across the road.

All very cool.
