Early in the morning we tried to contact the realtor through a circuitous route. Pretty much no hope of seeing the place inside on a Labor Day, right? In the end we were put in touch with the wrong realtor, but somehow he had a key. Whatever, god. Yesterday a heron, and a double rainbow from the top of La Capilla. Now this. Okay.<\/p>\n
We stalked the place a good long time and learned. Yes there are issues, some of them potentially big ones. There’s no heat except for a wall unit in the middle. No AC at all. The electrical seems Frankenstein. The water heater is essentially outside. <\/p>\n
On the other hand, the one bedroom we couldn’t see in pictures online is indeed big enough for a king bed. <\/p>\n
On the other other hand, what difference does any of that make compared to being almost neighborless in the midst of a residential area; compared to fruit-bearing pomegranates, compared to being up on a hill with that view but still only a mile from the Co-op and less than that to the best coffee place on Earth … <\/p>\n
Compared to 135K and apparently a pretty squishy 135 too. <\/p>\n
There has to be a way.<\/p>\n
There is a way, in fact, but a very scary one. That’s the fear I’m facing in this decadent week.<\/p>\n
Time to go and consider that, over the best cup, .8 miles down in town. We mull. We point it north with longing in the rearview.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
