Well, as I think about it, the house next door isn’t the only empty house in the neighborhood.
The locals can also choose from these beauties (at fabulous buyer’s market prices with great rates).
Guess which one recently sold?
Yep, the fancy one that’s way too big and really just a showpiece and impossible to clean. (The new owners didn’t seem to mind that some squirrelly lookers had shaken things up a bit…glad they didn’t move in.)
Why am I surprised?
After all, it’s good to be king.
He is the happiest, be he king or peasant,
who finds peace in his home.
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
