I was in the yard pulling out weeds. When I saw an elderly man, approaching me from the Neighbor’s yard. I stood up and watched him as he waved at me.
”Hello,” I said.
A little out of breath he, said, ”Hello my name is Howard. I represent Weyerhouse. And I want to discuss with you the Sale of your Property.”
”Really?” ”I see you came up from the Neighbors.” ”Yes, I actually went door to door with this discussion. Do you have a minute.”
The tailgate was dropped from the truck. So, since it was warm outside and I didn’t know this guy from Adam.
I said, “Sure if you want to talk sit down.” He did. He said that the Company wanted to buy all the Houses that sat on this Hill to start a new housing development.”
I JUST STARED AT HIM.
Here was this gentleman with a polo shirt and slacks. White socks with his black shoes. A tummy pouch and reminding me of an Elf.
”Now?” ”While we are still in recession?” I asked.
”You builders know something the rest of us don’t know.”
Feeling on edge and disbelief I snorkley said,
”DOES THIS MEAN THAT YOU JUST WANT TO STEEL OUR PROPERTY!!!”
