On the bright side, at least her fiance will have steady work repairing all the broken teeth for people who get roughed up by loan sharks over bad real estate investments.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

This quote
"South Florida," he said, "is working off of a totally new economic model than any of us have ever experienced in the past."
convinces me that the bubble is about to pop. I remember too many "this time it's different" arguments during the late '90s.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Most people are out today, right?
Sadly, greviously, tragically, no.
What Calli Said. I even doubt the possibility of an early release. I may be able to finagle ice cream.

Huh. On top of finding out yesterday that a co-worker is a playwright, I found out today that another co-worker's recently deceased brother was Tyrone Davis, R&B singer with quite a few gold records (Jesse Jackson spoke at his funeral).

The ignorance of history in the article really, really annoys me. This hasn't just happened before -- it's happened in Florida before, with the great real estate boom of the 1920s. People bought plats of land sight unseen, then resold them. It was routine for a piece of property to be flipped several times in a day.
As usual, it all ended in tears.

This is why I sold my back yard. I figured people would only be so insane for a limited time. If they keep it up for another year I'll sell the house.

I think the bubble bursting would be nice. Since I am pretty settled in and ok with where I am, this might mean that some friends could afford to buy closer to me and that'd be awesome.
