Okayyy… After that fine system crash, let’s amuse ourselves by seeing whether Funny (via Firefox) will reboot…

Reminiscing and daydreaming about the Good Ole Days living in our beautiful mid-town Phoenix Encanto neighborhood.
- Our house was so pretty.
- Our neighbors were so fine.
- The central location was so handy and dandy.
- The burglars and wannabe rapists swarmed in such merry abundance…
I do miss it. But on the other hand…I don’t miss it. 😀
Cruising the real estate ads…gosh, here are all these beautiful old houses. Our friends Jan and Ed’s place!! Zowie!
It was a pretty house to begin with. After they’d been in it for awhile, though, it was freaking gorgeous.
Wonder what our old place looks like, now that several passels of yuppies have spent time in it… It, too, was freaking gorgeous — that was a good 20+ years ago.
Those houses are selling in the million-dollar range now. THAT, you may be sure, is something you couldn’t get here in my present tony neighborhood.
Hmmm…. Frankly..,.
I loved the house and I miss it. But I don’t miss…
* The traffic noise
* The airplane noise (we get about as many planes here, but the Encanto district was much closer to the airport than we are, so our noisemakers are higher overhead)
* The panhandlers
* The burglars
* The sirens from the two nearby regional hospitals
* The sirens from the fire station the accursed city installed right behind us
* The third-rate public schools, making private school tuition NOT a choice
* The ancient, rickety plumbing
Hmmmm… Money doesn’t buy common sense, eh?
