Paved Paradise

"You don't know what you've got (or had) until it's gone
Paved paradise, put up a parking lot..."

Happy Independence Day. 070707 coming up. We are just waiting until someone comes and takes the house. We heard from a realtor that foreclosure was working its way through the system. All those commercials now for companies looking to rip-off people in the foreclosure black hole. Good luck with ours. LOL. Remember the movie STRIPES? Bill Murray, parking in front of the army recruiting office: "We're not parking it, officer, we're abandoning it!" Well, that's our house. We can't stand to even look at the mail. What's the point? Had 30K plus. Then nearly doubled it. Then lost the whole thing. So it goes. Tenth anniversary of our brother's suicide this summer. I wonder if that's the key? Twenty years with the City last fall. Like someone hanging on to playground rings, the grip eventually loosens and you let go. We've let go. But, maybe it was a long time ago that we let go. I don't know. The Manzanares thing fascinates me because, in some small way, I can relate. A DUI last summer in Vegas is hardly comparable to his public crucification. But, these things are relative. And we are always looking for rationalizations and last straws--loosing most of one's stake is a good one. Yet, we carry on. Velocity still not zero. Of course if it is approaching asymtopically, it only reaches zero as time approaches infinity. How long, though, can we sustain a minimal velocity before we just go ahead and expedite infinity? We enjoy this blog, especially the Dino clips from YouTube. I hope whoever else stumbles across this blogs enjoys those clips as well. Kris came over and we had a nice late third and early Fourth of July. She took a couple cute pictures of Kitty, whom my late brother called 'Ole Lady. It was his cat and I took it in since it was so hard to live on the streets and keep a cat. I wouldn't have thought of getting a pet had it not been for my brother. 'Ole Lady continues to be his noisy legacy. By the way, thanks George for linking to this little blog.
