It’s a bird. No it’s a plane!

Alo loves looking at airplanes. I think it’s one of his favorite pastimes. We get to have him today for a couple hours, so you can guaranty we’ll be spending some of that time looking in the sky.

These pictures Robb took when he came to pick Alo up on Monday.

So our next door neighbors (the ones to the north) this week put their house on the market. They’re asking $859k.

Among the many problems with this addition eyesore is the fact that it overhangs about 8 inches over the property line, above our deck. You can see from the photos that it’s ugly, unfinished, and poorly constructed. Interestingly, our neighbor works in … construction! The photo below is from the street. Our property line is 3″ on the left side of the block wall, making this block wall entirely on our property (aka, our block wall on our deck). The “eyesore” comes out almost to the inside (our side) of the block wall.

You may be thinking I’m not very happy about this. Well guess what? You’re right.
