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.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

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).

They've never seen the Marx Brothers movie The Cocoanuts then?

If I only had a brain...
"South Florida," he said, "is working off of a totally new economic model than any of us have ever experienced in the past."
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.
Hee, 4 of us xposted on the same quote.

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.

I saw that article, Tom. I am hoping the bubble pops soon enough for me to actually buy something someday, but not at the same time as the currency crashes, because you still have to have money to buy a house.
The Economist (I think) ran an article recently saying that if you run the numbers, in several metro areas anyway, you're actually better off long term renting than owning right now.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Now I'm really, really hoping the sale of my house goes through.
