Cabin vs. Condo

Maybe it's the fall in real estate prices, or the looming collapse of the global economy, or the fact that the peso is worth more than the U.S. dollar but houses are looking affordable. I was looking at houses in Flat Rock, about 15 miles south. I'm conflicted about becoming a home owner again. I really am not a house worshiper. It would make sense to get a place and just kind of "let it go". But being a C.B. who grew up in his own private depression, I have trouble not maintaining things. Optimistically, I may be around another twenty years. By then if I haven't fallen off my perch I'll probably be in some assisted living facility being taken care of by some Jamaican nurse that CP will hate, but who I'll call Mama.

Flat Rock is a real popular hang out for rich seniors. It's the kind of place where you see a lot of Grandpa Bill cars. Lumbering Grand Marquis going 20 mph with their blinkers on. Late at night you can see shiny Crown Vic's slipping through the fog trolling for widows. After visiting MP I have become enamored by the "benign neglect " style of architecture. All the new homes I see are of the "modern vulgarian" style, or "fake-fancy" as CP refers to them. So I'm thinking maybe I should get a quaint older home and just let it rot out from under me.


Last night we had a little party with the neighbors. It was an eclectic bunch of Yankee transplants. This made me think that perhaps the isolation of the country is not that great. A lot of geezers have a tendency become isolated. I am such a people person, I may have to reconsider. Is it OK to take the lamp shade off my head now?

Puzzler

No, this is not the result of southern cooking. I found these little turd size dowels all over the lawn on one side of my house. They are so perfectly round and uniform I thought it might be alien spawn. Either that or a flock of Canadian Geese on Metamucil made a layover. I'm wondering if any of my subscribers can tell me what subterranean critter I can be expecting to encounter on some cool autumn stroll. Maybe this will be the year for cicadas.

After the shopping comes the food.

After the shopping in Savannah it was off to "Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House". This is the place listed in I,OOO PLACES TO SEE BEFORE YOU DIE. This is southern cooking at its finest. There are no reservations; you just line up outside. They seat you at a large table with 10 other people and you just start passing the dishes around. It's a regular southern style bacchanal . When you're done you carry your dishes to the kitchen. I preferred their fried chicken to Paula Deen's; it wasn't as greasy. Seated next to us was a flight attendant on a sixteen hour layover , she recommended our next stop; Hyman's Seafood Restaurant in Charleston S.C.

Christmas Shopping Southern Style

We arrived in Savannah 3 pm Monday, but CP was still able to get in a little shopping.
