Condo deal died. Rats.

I could go my whole life without seeing the video of a dead momma cat with live babies crawling around her next to train tracks fed to me by the fucking YouTube algorithm. I don't give a fuck that the person takes the cats in, which is what the title claims. (Honestly, who sees such a scene and whips out their phone?)

Put in an offer on a condo today.
Fingers crossed. Eyes crossed. Legs crossed. Kris Krossed.

I'm reading a book about ancient Mesopotamian cities this week. Last week it was the history of Egypt. I really would like to find something about the archaeology of the Levant but there is so much religiously motivated stuff out there I don't know who to trust, honestly.

I read at least a chapter a night for fun every night before I go to bed. Been doing it for years. This is clearly why I have so many books to move to the condo. LOLSOB

Still waiting on a reply on the condo. Sigh.

Damn, mortgages and taxes and HOA fees are expensive. Every bit as expensive as rent on a comparable property would be. But you get equity, I guess. Whew! Ramen noodles for the next few years it is, then.

Something that has struck me as I have been looking for a new place is how few of the homes--whether they are obviously occupied or vacant in their Zillow photos--have bookshelves. They certainly do not seem to be an architectural feature of modern homes.

After a couple of days of rollercoaster emotions related to real estate, things have gotten REALLY BORING around here.

Multiple offers on the property, and 3 more showings coming up. Rats. I have a best offer in mind. Apparently calling dibs doesn't carry force of law in real estate.

Condo is back on. I'm gonna drink until I can't feel feelings.

The best episodes of Time Team are the ones where they overrun a town and convince everyone to rip up their own backyards. I'm watching the Nether Poppleton episode.

Got the condo. Jeepers.

Putting in an offer.

I've been watching Time Team again. Desire to find an arrowhead growing. I'd love to do a dig one day. A few years ago there was a public dig at or near Lindesfarne. That would have been pretty epic.

I have gone through garden furniture outside and made choices about what comes with us and goes. The hibachi, properly cleaned, will come with us, but damn did it rust over the last few years. I scoured the grill down with a wire brush until I realized that it was mostly oxidization. Lawn chairs were tossed in the garbage. I don't have a lot of use for the yard tools out there, and may offer them to the landlord for when he moves back.

Buying a place is awfully involved, isn't it?

rjblaskiewicz, 14 days ago to random

Oh, during inspection today, the seller popped by to drop off a fire extinguisher, which is apparently required. He seems nice but we really did not say much. I suspect it's probably better to let our reps talk.

But if you are reading this, Mr Seller (if you are anything like me, you looked up the person you're doing business with)...hi there! We're normal.

Doing research this afternoon and came up with the landmark legal case. US v. 166 Boxes of Candy:
