There's a townhouse in my neighborhood that's on sale with an asking price of $20 million.
[EDIT: $20M not $30M: [link] ]
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Happy happy Birthday to Betsy--fabulous cook, snarky raconteur, poster of cool links, incisive thinker, lover of flowers, and all round enjoyable Buffista!

Well, drat. I will interrupt my self-drowning for a pout.

The zip code I work in has everything from $5K (ok, so those are the ones that are boarded up and probably don't have a roof) to $1.5 million. It's an old neighborhood.

Oh, right, I had a question.
Guy e-mailed me and wants me to quote an hourly rate for a contract job. Do I just quote the rate (which I'm pretty attached to), or do I bother justifying it with my years of experience and my soon-to-be graduate degree?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Just quote it.

$650K in Seattle will get you this: [link]
Not my neighborhood, but the one I'd buy in if cost were no object.
Here's a house similar though not identical to our rental, not too far from here: [link]
People who read Bitches will know that we've made tentative plans to buy this house directly from our landlord. It'll only work out if we can get a discount from him based on our long residence and the fact this place is a serious fixer-upper (needs a new roof, an earthquake retrofit, major work in the bathroom, etc. etc. etc.)
