She had some interest in the house, but she needed a better job before she could put in an offer.  One of her concerns with the house was that there are all of these large trees near it, and she said “What if one of these trees falls on the house? We would need to discount the price to get the trees trimmed back.”

This house is in Bloomington, and I drove past the house this morning, and guess what? A tree fell on it from our storm Saturday morning! There is a large hole in the roof now. I called my client, and she laughed about it.  I guess you just never know what will happen.

I had a showing appointment for an organization of “green” people. They want to rehab an old, in need of repair, house, and use it to showcase their work, and to show people how they can “go green” in their own homes. I arrive at the first house, and notice that they are all on bikes, there is about 6 of them. They bike from house to house, while I drive. After I left the last house and was on my way home, it suddenly struck me, they are “green” by riding bikes, and I am driving an 8 cylinder, gas guzzling car! I sure hope they don’t notice the V8 on the truck of the car! Not very eco friendly of me. Maybe I should buy a hybrid for cases like this.
