Do you remember back when ten bucks would make a dent in the fuel tank of your car?
These days, ten dollars worth of gasoline is just about enough to fill your lawnmower.
Apparently, people on my block are feeling the impact of the economy as well.
Most people bought two lots but built their homes only on one.
The extra land is used as a buffer between neighbors to help ensure more privacy.
But today, one of these showed up directly across the street from my house.
People on my block never sell their extra land - they just pass is on to the next generation.
According to neighbors, there have only been two new homes built on my block in the past twenty years.
You know things are bad in the South when people are planning to build (at least) 3000sq.ft. (minimum allowed for our neighborhood) fully bricked and landscaped homes.
I guess I'll have to be disturbed by workers from dusk till dawn for the next year...
