Julia..... Besides your basic outlook /philosophy regarding our current /past governments, I knew there was something else I liked about you ; }

I am a nut when it comes to these types of homes.....and besides my goal for an early retirement, one of the few things left that I want to do in this life is own / live-in one those Victorians that you are talking about. In my opinion, there's nothing finer than those old Craftsman and Victorian homes.

Watching those homes vanish from the landscape is the equivalency of burning to the ground every fine boutique /artesian winery across this country and leaving us all with nothing but Mad Dog 20/20 to drink

If there is one good thing about today's yuppy sort is that they love these houses too and are restoring them rather than buying a condo. Even though gentrification has its downside (like increasing property taxes in poor areas and more StarBucks being built), all in all it has been a good thing in maintaining a certain authenticity in many communities.

These homes are very valuable in Southern California... they start at half a million where my Daddy lives, and if you tag on an ocean view they go up steeply, like 750 or 800k. I want to get one when the property values tumble when GW leaves office and the next guy has to raise interest. The market is already really soft and foreclosures are rising. So perhaps I can get what I really want in a couple of years for half the price

You know, Fukin, there are also a lot of people who just believe it shows a lack of class to blow their own horn about the specifics of what they give and do in their communities.

Some of us just do what we do and it's nobody's business really.

Pasture Pool? No reason to spoil a good walk. I'm gonna pass on that one. Now if you're going to have some sort of demolition event, ink me in for two hours and clean-up.

I was thinking more along the lines of an SUV smash, $1 a swing with an assorted set of sledgehammers, but I'll do perimeter security if you're gonna blow shit up.

Pitching in to help is just a random act. I freely 'fess to those.

Besides, you ever watch a townie liberal swing a sledge? Now that's funny, I don't care who ya are.

I do quite a lot to give back. I started when my um's were small, with school, sports, scouts, church. Those were very busy years, and I miss them sometimes.
I did a lot of things to teach the young ones about giving back. We always gave at Christmas to children from the angel tree, they would pick out who they wanted to give to, and shop for. It lead to lots of great conversations about giving. I work for an organization that educates children and families that are underprivledged. I could make a lot more money elsewhere, but, no one in social services is in it for the money. I feel I make a difference. sometimes, at least.

My Daddy is hot when he uses tools, which he is very proficient with, and well built enough to handle. But you know many of us liberals eat granola, drink bottled water, and get plenty of exercise... so slinging sledge hammers is not a stretch for many of us.
