Disheartening News From California
So it's almost a year since I sold my house in San Francisco's East Bay and moved back to Singapore. We only owned it for a year, but put lots of work into remodelling it. So we can't help but occasionally miss it and wonder how the new owner has improved it.
Well, I received the absolutely sickening news that their only 'improvement' was to add to the window a big peace sign made out of cardboard and bits of aluminum foil.
Nauseating
Not on our watch!
After all the toil we poured into that place, it makes me ill to know that dirty gnu hippies now inhabit it, complete with their twenty-five year old Volvo parked outside.
Dirty Gnu Owners passed the only suitability test: they bought it for more than I paid...
At least I don't feel bad anymore for forgetting to send the furnace warranty back to them. They probably warm themselves with steaming compost piles and hemp sweaters anyway.
