“How can you tell the country is not being torn apart by rioting? Because Joe Biden is just fine!”
What’s the trick to assimilating the news – all news, not just real estate news? Read everything that seems worthwhile – and assume that everything you read is lying to you in ways you may not suspect. Certainly every story written about real estate results right now is lying, since none of them will admit to the impact – or even the existence – of the rioting.

“‘I’M JUST THAT GUY'” (from the Yahoo News story)
God bless the self-appointed General of the “Hillbilly Brigade”. God bless all of the “Brigade” members on Oregon and the Cajun Navy down on the Gulf Coast
Each time I feel despondent, I am reminded that there are rednecks with pick up trucks, bass boats, big hearts, and brass balls. I am proud to live among them

So you know, I try to find something like that every day. Most of what I’m linking to is ugly or, at best, arcane. There is a better world out there, just on the other side of our screens.

I just read that least linked article:
‘It’s a crazy situation with everything that’s happened in what I call the Pig Bomb, which has exploded in North America,’ Jack Mayer told The Daily Beast about the wild population of six million and two million in Texas alone. Florida, Georgia, and California also have vast populations.”
Put the Hillbilly Brigades and Cajun Navy on this problem. They need recreation and I need bacon. If you assign this “problem” to a gov’t agency, the pigs will die but ain’t nobody gonna get fed

You wouldn’t believe some of the pig hunts in Texas. Private land owners are happy to grant access. To wit: Helicopters at night with night vision. Pig dogs in in thick bottom lands. This is war. So the pigs move to public lands. Porky is smart.
