No, it really is all about the resale value. When you drive through my
neighborhood you see that every yard is clean and well kept, the paint
is not peeling off the trim, the garage doors all work and look good.
There are no paved over front yards, although one or two owners would do
it if they could, and houses sell rather quickly with deals that don't
fall through at the closing table.

None of the properties I own have a deed restriction. All of them
sound like your description.... except I can't conceive of a paved
yard.... we have real lawns.

In the Wash. DC area it is becoming a real problem. Somebody buys the
house next door and rents individual rooms and to accomodate all of the
cars the front yard is paved over, removing the need for lawn maintenance.

One neighboring house that just sold was never even listed. It sold
within an hour, the morning it went on the market.

How did it go "on the market?" Usually real estate agents delay the
posting of the listing trying to get the sale themselves or keeping it
with the brokerage family.

Apparently, there are many exceptions to your rule!

All over the country.

Going to Bowling Green Country Club today. Might try to get in 36 holes.
This is where I broke 100 the first time, only to read later that is a

We'll cross the Shenandoah River, and I'll think of Harry getting in his
canoeing practice. (Boating related, don'cha'no)

Hit'em straight and only 1-putt.

When are you going to invite me to play the Medal of Honor course with
you at Quantico?

Well, crap, I hit too many three and four putts. Shot an even 100.

As for Quantico, how about Thursday, 30 Aug. Tee time to be determined, but
I'll try for somewhere between 8 and 8:30. Quantico will let me make a tee
time only 48 hours in advance, 'cause I'm not a member. They shouldn't be
too busy, hopefully.

Send me an email with a phone number, use jherring at cox dot net.

I am taking off on Wednesday, my birthday, I don't think the boss would
let me have two days off in a row.

On the way!

Can't do it Wednesday, already committed. I'd think a nice day at Quantico
would be a good birthday present! Change days!

Good grief! Why don't you take your matchmaking to alt.lifestyles

Would you be happier if we were calling each other 'asshole' or 'sack of
****'. I've not noticed any comments from you when those messages appear.

Yesterday I responded to an accusation that I was using your mother to
return jabs, or some such nonsense. You ignored that, looking for a way to
make another jab.

Did you ever ask your mom for advice on your boating problem? Have you
taken her out to eat lately?
