I have two jobs and like them both. No time for random internet usage at the bike shop though.

It's all about the priorities. My current house was purchased much the same way. Is there enough garaging or is the price low enough to add the additional garaging I need. Then I looked at the actual house.

I'm lucky. I have a very good boss. Been working for the same firm for 9 years and the same boss for 19.

I saw some dumb people in dumb cars today.
One in a car that's always parked on a hill on my way in. Normally the windows have black towels covering them.
Today, however, I noticed the door opened as I approached.
The guy in the driver's seat was shooting up herion. Lovely.
Then, on the way home, going down a steep dead end, this parked BMW decides to pull a U turn in front of me. Luckily, I anticipated and was already on the brakes.
As I pass, the numskull is smoking a fatty.
Druggies in cars. Watch out.

We paid our house off at 49 years of age and now (66) is the time to go to a condo and pay cash for it even before we get ours sold. Also, another possibility is that I talked to the bank that I've been with since I was 11 y.o. and they said they would give me a renewable note that would only require interest payments until ours sold. Normally, they only give notes like that for a max of 90 days but in my case, they would make it renewable as long as it took to sell our house. That's what we plan to do so I don't have to take the money out of investments.

It's probably a credit union or little regional bank. Or mr trainsnorter has some dirt on the manager.

I stopped at a gas station. Everything was working fine. When I tried to start the car all the interior electrical stuff was working but nothing happened in the engine.
Fortunately, we were able to momentum start it on a little hill.
Turns out a silly little clutch sensor/switch broke.
A big hassle, but fortunately only out $20 for the car fail.
