We Listed our House

Our house had been in escrow early in July, but alas, it was not to be. The market has changed here in San Diego and completed sales are taking a lot longer that earlier in the year. We have finally surrendered and have listed the house for sale with a real estate agent. Today was the first open house. We as owners were banished during the event. It might be scary for a buyer to actually meet a seller. Therefore we went driving.

Late summer is monsoon season in San diego county with the tropical moisture being drawn northward from the gulf of California. The conditions frequently produce thunderstorm over the mountains. This has been happening for the past two or three weeks. We drove to the mountains to experience the thunderstorms and were sorely disappointed. The storms appeared to be somewhere near the Colorado river and produced mostly overcast conditions with a light sprinkle.

They are not pedestrian friendly, definitely not pedestrian friendly. one woman stopped to allow me to walk from the store to the parking lot and the car behind her started to go around her and just about hit me. I had some profane words for car no. II Californians are in for a shock when dealing with east coast traffic. Slow as heck drivers. the I-95 is the main artery going N and S. Everyone is going N in a.m. into DC. It starts to back up a good 25 miles south of DC. I see the gridlock/parking lot from my on ramp. I-95 is only a 3 lane interstate and it is ugly with all the big rigs. there are yield signs getting onto the freeways, scary!! there is the HOV lanes with 2 lanes for 3 or more they open and c
