Killing dreams and moving on...

"Today we contracted to sell the Cupola Art building. It is NOT…what I wanted to do. It is, however, the smart thing to do."

Sorry to hear it Daniel.  

My county now makes me pay almost a quarter of what my house cost new (in 1960), each year in property tax (and going up like clockwork).  And I got it easy compared to you.

I hope they paid you well for the property.  A good deal of its value will slip away with the absence of your personality.

You are far too generous

Some say letting go is the hardest thing to do.  I say that deciding to let go is harder. 

It was a neat building with an interesting history but it was a thing.  Hopefully, the new owners can finish what you started.  You did save it.

I used laugh at a bumper sticker on the back of a car that I saw often during my morning commute,It said "KILL YOUR GOV"T BEFORE IT KILLS YOU". I don't laugh at it any more

2008 started the race to get people dependant on the government at the expense of the middle class.
You hit the nail on the head with your description of how it cost you personally.
Very sorry to hear that you had to sell and here's to hoping your Vic house comes through for you.

The deed is done....

Daniel-I've heard this before and I hope I git it correct. A government big enough to give you everything you need IS a government big enough to take away everything you have. I PRAY the gubmint do not finish you off. Had I not retired when I did I may have been living in my car. And the possibility Still exists that I Could lose what little I do have! I M H O-deception central and a lot of the states-gubmint wise-are totally out of control. Lets just say the idjit that Wrote the music may be gone but the melody lingers on and on and on!    Really Wish you had better news!  RIDE SAFE.
