Nice to be Back

I didn't use my internet during Lent. It was a nice break and a great chance to realize how much time that I waste online.  Of course, my blood pressure was a little lower because I wasn't paying attention to ow badly Obama was screwing us over as a nation, but all good things must come to an end, I suppose.  Several things happened in my absence, and luckily I have an opinion for all of it.
First of all, I got rid of the tenants that were not good.  I will not miss the Hess' there I said it.  In the interest of avoiding any sort of litigation all I will say is that I will not rent to them again. I suppose that is why they didn't use me as a reference to the next sucker that they rented from, isn't it?
I have been interviewing potential tenants for the last two weeks and I don't have a very high opinion of people in general.
I cannot believe that I am surprised, of course.  Yes, I check references.  Here is a tip: pay your bills.  I had a couple that paid a deposit, and then backed out of the lease.  He would have been a long walk to take, if you understand what I mean.  I am not sorry that the lease didn't work out.  In this area, the ground is wet.  You get that when the town is built on a swamp.  A small bit of water in the basement is normal.  Wanting to get sideways about it isn't.
I had forgotten how ignorant people can be.  Yes, you have to pay your own utilities.  Yes, that is a lot of money- have you been to the grocery store lately?  In spite of the party line, yes, there is rampant inflation.  Welcome to the world.
On another note, the greatest dog in the world-Caliope- is fat and sassy.  She is probably on a chair right now, since I'm not home.  Imagine that.
I don't understand how Iran having nuclear weapons can be good for anyone.  Isn't it strange that the same idiot who wants to take away my guns has absolutely no problem allowing an insane area to have the ability to wipe out Israel.  Shame on any moron that voted for him.  Including the dead ones who left their graves to pull a Kennedy and vote for him twice.
But I guess that's enough for now.  Happy belated Easter.
