SPLASHES OF CITRUS

 

 

My craving for sunshine and Vitamin C has expanded to all things citrus in fashion, decorating and art.  Lemon, lime, orange, pummelo--bring it on.  (What's pummelo?  I'd never heard of this "sweeter, milder cousin of grapefruit" with yellow skin and orangey-red inside until it appeared in a Google search.  Has anyone ever tried it?)

orange county choppers foreclosure

orange county choppers foreclosure occ foreclosure occ bankrupt

The Internet is buzzing with chatter about Orange County Choppers & a supposed foreclosure. This a prime example of why you can’t trust everything you read on the web.

According to an article on Huffington Post titled Key Senator Urges Obama To Push Foreclosure Relief In State Of The Union, “The FDIC has been pushing to impose new requirements on the operations of those divisions, which are known as mortgage servicers. The agency has been engaged in heated negotiations with other regulators at the Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).”

People: The OCC is not Orange County Choppers, it’s the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). Sounds funky and official, and I highly doubt they cruise around in choppers.

I’m sure Orange County Choppers is safe… Don’t let it keep you up at night.

Update: Maybe it is real! Check out this article I just found: Orange County Choppers’ HQ faces foreclosure
