Can't buy a new Ford anymore since they are now New Holland. What is the world coming to?
What would $500,000 get me? There was a place for sale down south that was on the Chesapeake. It was 80 acres, two prefabs built on it, waterfowl blinds and deer stands, and the guy was asking $379,000 for it. That was over the summer. Granted, it is a further drive than Centreville, but I can live with that since I would head down there for a week at a time. Just in case you haven't noticed, the economy isn't doing all that well just yet. The house we bought is a foreclosure and we paid $190,000 less than the guy that bought it in 2005. My brother said we stole it. I don't want to steal anything, but I will be looking for a bargain when it comes time to buy some land. I'll be looking for something in the 100 acre to 200 acre range with waterfowl and deer on it. I'll eventually hope to split my time between here and there when I get toward retirement age. Might even buy something further south like South Carolina, Georgia, or Florida. We shall see how things go.
FYI - you should know I never try to fit in with anybody. Most of my clients tell me that I am unlike any attorney that they have ever met. Probably the only attorney they have ever met with that drives an F350, wears blue jeans, a Columbia sweater and either a Columbia or DU cap.
I am who I am, and I am not changing to make friends with anybody. Maybe that is why I have so many friends. I know this one guy from the Eastern Shore that I met on a chatboard, but he up and moved to some place called Wyoming. God only knows where that is. LOL If I can be friends with him, probably won't have any problems making friends out on the Eastern Shore.
