Home

We went to Fort Lauderdale to show the townhouse to a couple of prospective tenants this weekend (which was the opposite of productive or fun or a good idea for a Saturday), neither of whom are likely to pan out.

I usually sleep during our road trips to South Florida, but no matter how groggy I am, I can always tell when we've arrived back just by glancing at the traffic.



To our left, a brand new six figure Ferrari headed toward the beach with a supermodel in the front seat. In front of us, three Haitians, according a flag on their window, with non functioning brake lights driving a Nissan from back before Boy George lost his marbles. And to our right, a humungous box held together by duct tape and stuffed into a trunk headed West toward the Everglades, most likely carrying a dead body.

So.

Yeah.

That's how you know that you're home.

Why must you always make fun of my car when you're here?

I had no idea you upgraded to a Ferrari.

By the way, what in the heck is going on with Riverplace downtown? That building has become a total ghost town. I'm getting so many calls from people moving out of there.

I love how you break the news to the would-be-but-not-gonna-be tenants... :P

Such diversity of life even if seen by what people drive. I just wonder which car occupants are the happiest?
