Hi Coby. Happy Presidents' Day. Check out LRR's link to the "Aphorisms" web page. Some good stuff there. $450K for a lot? It would have to be sitting on top of a gold mine for me to even think about it.

I am sick with envy. We live in a $400 K shack. It has 1000 sq ft and no basement. A real house - one with more'n one bathroom - would be half a mil or more. My salary is "normal". Local house prices are not. Too many people around here actually had YHOO!!! options in their pay packages. Snort. A few years ago they tore down a school near our house and put up fifty of these 2500 sq ft mansionettes on 3600 sq ft lots. I mean, if your neighbor held a magazine out his bathroom window - you could reach for it when it was "your turn". Townhouses at least have that opaque shared wall. The whole thing has gotten really silly.

And what do the little brick homes in Arlington Forest go for? I grew up near Carlyn Springs Rd, and....Wilson Blvd? Glebe Rd? It's been a while. I remember those houses sold for $18,000 when we first moved there. They must be up to at least $20,000 by now. I miss all the trees. I haven't seen leaves turn since I left there. No snow. Little rain. No squirrels that live in trees. No cardinals or bluejays. No robins. Or lightning bugs. But we do have coyotes and hawks and earthquakes and mudslides.
