ISTR finding my shutoff valve once, but maybe that was a dream? Or maybe it was under the house where it would be harder to get to than the main. In any case, I couldn't find it last time I needed one, if it exists.

Our wings are not tired.
I have lived with no shutoff which was not a good plan. However, the places that have had them, usually frozen. The problem is that when you have a burst of some kind in the house it is something you really want to stop quick.
I had a really frozen pipe at the Otter Lake house. When we turned the water back on in the summer it was water all over the bathroom. The pipe was in the ceiling and was copper but it had an ever so slight dip in it and the ice split the pipe. Fun times.

Full copper refit!
I know where my water shutoff is. I feel like this means I win at home-ownership or something.

I know where our water main shutoff is which was handy because putting in a new washer was difficult without it.
When we were looking to buy houses a couple of years ago, the places we were looking at all ran about $350,000. So, when I saw this link to a 5 bedroom 4 bath house for significantly less than that [link] I sort of wanted to cry.

I'll join you in the crying, sincerely. Just some of those period details like the ends of the bannisters brings a tear.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Shit, when I've looked in places I wanted to live for just me, they were $350K. But the key is the places I want to live.

Yeah, small town Minnesota would be a stretch, though it's near La Crosse which has the best and least expensive health care in the U.S. It's weird, because I might not mind so much living in Minnesota at this point in my life.

Except for the lack of having a job thing. And the winter thing. And the all of Grace's specialists are here thing.

The winter thing might get me, even if I'm more used to it than you are presently. Every year I get older, the better Tucson looks to me.

On my way back from the movies this afternoon I passed a cardboard sign by the roadside that said "House for cheap, [street address], cash only." I'm sure it's completely legit and aboveboard.
