This post brought to you by last weekend's random This Housing Market Is Nuts conversation with my dad, whose best friend just bought a 4BR in West Sacto for something like $75,000.
Daaaaaamn.
I had a whole section about civic pride.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
After a while your brain adjusts so you don't feel tired anymore. You still show all the signs of sleep-dep impairment, but you feel like you're doing just fine.
Awesome. (Yikes!)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

And, yeah, the kidney-sharing couple and their supercutiepie daughter (and, I think now, two adopted babies) would make awesome neighbors for, well, anyone. The kidney recipient also has a music collection that rivals Hec's and plays a mean game of Scrabble (including trash-talking, if that's what you're into).

JZ,
don't tempt me. $75K might be just about all the equity I have in my house right now (she says without crying - mostly) so I am tempted to max out my credit cards and buy a house right now!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

When does that happen? I've been tired for months.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Maybe I'm just cynical, but I see $75k and think "handyman special"

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I see "nothing in this town worth paying a premium for.".

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I see $75K and think "closet".

I see $75K and see hope.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I see $75k and think "Fuck, I wish our house was worth that."
