...back. You all missed me I'm sure. For any curious, I'm finally getting ready to abandon my desert hermitage and rejoin civilized society. I gotta admit, I won't miss the desert much. I'm looking forward to moving to a town with a (in the singular, plural even better) book store. No, I'm not kidding, between Reno and Salt Lake there does not exist such a thing. Mostly I'll miss the Basque food. Basque food kicks ass. Picon punch doubly so.

Update: Escaping this place has been like escaping a tar pit. So, despite the fact that I didn't need a foundation under my house to BUY it, I need one to SELL it. So I had a contractor put a foundation under the house. So the contractor stiffed the guy he got the materials from. So the guy he stiffed getting the materials from put a lien against my house. So I can't sell it. Which is all I wanted to do in the first goddam place. I'm not saying there's GOING to be a wave of arson and fatal accidents around the county... but if there is I wouldn't be shocked.

Well, having squared all the other crap... this is the last big house-selling weekend of the season, being the last summer holiday. And I have at least four folks lined up to come looks at the place to see if they want to buy it.
Wish me luck. ;D
And for the record... those arson fires had absolutely nothing to do with me.
Addendum: Apparently the contractor guy got "overhauled" in a bitter divorce, thus explaining his sudden lack of any capability to pay his bills. Sadly, the laws are written assuming that the customer (i.e., me) stiffed the contractor so that he was unable to pay the materials handler... so the onus of paying that bill falls to the customer, even if he already paid it.
For my own part, being the guy left holding the bag, I hope that guy gets ass-raped by his wife's divorce attorney.
