Good morning!!!!

Used house are on the market less than a week. I'm glad my school taxes are frozen (over 65 Texas exemption). Now is not the time to move to central Texas there is frantic buying going on. Is it like this in other parts of Texas, Houston, Dallas?

I’m told it’s crazy here, with used houses selling for more than new.

Good news. Lady at church had knee replacement yesterday and is going home already.

So many people are leaving California that we are losing a seat in the House of Representatives. And you're right: They're not leaving because of the weather, that's for sure!

FWIW, the recall for the Governor just qualified for the ballet.

But don’t expect anyone better.

Home prices seem to be crazy all over.
Up here in upstate NY they very seldom last a week on the market and many seem to be sold for more then the asking price which has sky rocketed.
My SIL and daughter are moving from NC to NH, they had to go $10,000 over listing price to get an over priced house there, and theirs sold for over asking price in 5 days.
I don't know where all these buyers are coming from, it seems to be happening all over.

Used house prices have skyrocketed here too. Disabled guy I used to plow for , his sold for $219,000.oo 5 over asking. One next to him sold too, a corner lot with a pond. Don't know the price of that one. The one across the road is for sale, $1.2 million on 88 acres. This one I am in is NOT for sale. But if it was the price would be 750,000.

I hope you get a good replacement to stop the exodus.

RNG you give me a chuckle. My small town HS didn’t have a Driver’s Ed program. Heck, we didn’t even have a used car lot let alone a dealership. Summer of my junior year (I was 16) a neighboring town offered DE and for some reason it was open to out of town. I got in. 9.9 miles from the house to the HS. I just checked google maps. My Mom rarely, and my Dad almost never played chauffeur. It was understood that if I wanted to attend almost anything, I was on my own. Not unusual, it had been that way since 1st grade. With 7 younger siblings I can understand the reluctance to load everybody up. Only 2 rules that I remember. 1 be home by supper/dark and then 1 year in jr high (different town) my Dad forbid me to ride a certain road after school, which I did anyway, and got caught. Never understood his reasoning. Biked that same road often, going or coming from Church and variety of other reasons. I convinced parents to let me take DE. Heck, One summer I even biked to swimming lessons in the next State, but that’s a different story. I believe we had classes 3 days a week and driving session once a week and mine was on a class day.
Getting my license was a bit of a challenge. Not the tests, had those covered both written and the road test as the instructor knew the test routes as it was administered same town. The test vehicle was also required to pass a safety inspection as part of the road test. This was ‘63 and parents oldest vehicle was a ‘56, but road salt in Maine takes its toll. That 56 Chevy, 9 pax, BelAire wagon was to be my main drive. I became pretty good with Bondo back then.
Got my licence early Senior year.

This round of mowing done, even the dogs’ area got a trim. Then a relaxing hour in hottub with the dear wife. Only 90° but enjoyable. Still need to work on my timer settings. Being off grid, I don’t have the luxury of letting it run on its own.
