A boat, beached....on a trailer???????
I was thinking...barbecue grill or one of Frogwatch's well-cared-for
contraptions.

Well, If I mowed my lawn I'd probably find something like that.


Way back when, in the 1970s, when I bought my first house in the
Virginia suburbs of the DC area, I happened to be on-site one day when
the developer's Caterpillars were working to reshape nature. One of the
drivers hit something that made a huge clang. Turned out to be a tractor
engine, according to one of the guys out there. No one had any idea why
it had been buried. Three bedroom, 2-1/2 bath house. Under $25,000 brand
new. Those were the days.

Not quite as old as the dirt covering the tractor engine, but close.

it had been buried. Three bedroom, 2-1/2 bath house. Under $25,000 brand
new. Those were the days.

But that's also when a good working wage was about 5 bucks an hr. too!

office.

The neighborhood was fine; the covenants prevented ****heads like you
from moving in.

My parents bought a 4 bedroom 2-1/2 bath center hall colonial in 1971
for $41,500. This was far outside the beltway.

Likewise in outside the Beltway. Of course, traffic was a lot
lighter in those days.

You must have lived in a little itty bitty cracker box or a dump.
