Is it not enough my wife and I are both dying of incurable diseases? Is it not enough everyone in this country is vilifying everyone else? Is it not enough weather extremes (whatever the cause) are creating havoc and misery in many places [even southern California]. Is it not enough that in the past 3 months, 2 long time neighbors across the street decided to move, and rent out their houses, and the young couple 2 houses north of ours had to default on their mortgage and moved to New Mexico (the house is still empty), and now I just learned our next door neighbors have sold their home and are moving out as well, even as I write this post.
When do we all just throw up our arms, and say enough is enough!
After living in the same house, in the same neighborhood for 26 years, with very few transitions during that time, and after finally getting to the point where we're retired, and totally content with the way things are (despite all the vilification occurring in the rest of the country and within our government), my whole world [the neighborhood where we live] is being turned upside down.
So is this an omen of sorts? Is it telling us we need to move as well? Our neighbors across the street and next door were all retired as well.
So far the neighbors that have moved in across the street, seem quiet (I haven't bothered to meet either of them yet), but they're only renting, so I would expect them to be fairly transient, and who knows who'll move in next door. Will the people who purchased the house move into it, or will they rent it out also?
As always, only time will tell what changes will come about, but I can't imagine anything better coming of them. Things were already pretty good. I think the best we can hope for is they don't get any worse!
