SELL OUT
Our next food neighbor, Jim, has sold his condo.
He was asking more than we thought anyone could get and pretty much got what he asked for.
This is good news for us.
We have been technically underwater for awhile as prices fell just after we bought our unit. Jim bought his almost at the same time.
There has been a lot of fuss here about our land leases with the tribe. Don't ask. Banks were reluctant to loan to people because of it. Now, there has been some stability restored in the situation, so voila! Prices are up.
We have ended up liking Jim after some initial boundary issues kept us at odds.
We will miss him.
We hear that the new owner is a "mature", single, gay man.
It is always a little iffy, new neighbors, but not so much here as we are like row houses. Neighbors are almost always unseen and unheard.
I don't suppose the new guy knows that there is a rat in the walls between our unit unless Jim put it down as one of his "disclosures". It is not a problem, really, but the rat makes more fuss than Jim ever did.
They were inspecting the house the other day. On the roof, which is actually not part of the unit, up the walls and in and out. Booker does not like this. Every one of them is an intruder.
But things will settle down. The new guy will move in, Booker and we will get to know him and he will fade into the scenery as much or more than all the other neighbors we rarely see or bump into.
