won't you be my neighbor

Our next door neighbor died a few weeks ago. He was 83, same age as my dad and Francie's mom, but he'd been in poor health for several years, largely house-bound for the last year, except when he was in the hospital.

Anyway, his kids lost no time putting his house on the market. Over the weekend, they emptied 40+ years of cruft into a dumpster. The only things I salvaged were a cheap 4-gallon stock pot (for making beer) and a complete 1937 encyclopedia. And then the dumpster was gone before I got around to checking it again.

Any anyway, it's listed here at $275k, which is cheap for this town. There's an open house on Sunday.
