Our View

So when we moved in, this is what we saw across the way. How lovely. It was a brand new model home and no one is really sure how it happened. We've mostly heard arson. There were a few rumors that the builder was going under and he set it on fire to get the insurance money. The house was torn down after I took this picture. Most of the other homes around us are being finished and we don't have many neighbors yet. So once in awhile a cop will come drive slowly by and shine his spotlight all over in the empty houses. I didn't realize that this was a bit scary until I forced my lazy bum outside in the dark one night to go running. Okay, jogging. Okay, most could probably walk faster but I digress... So there I am in the dark quiet, jogging along, and see all of the empty houses and can just imagine the creepy arsonists hiding out in the unfinished houses just waiting to pounce. Then I realize I am breathing pretty loud because I'm not quite to the athletic level I should be. So then I try to breathe quiet so I won't be noticed. That didn't work. I have to have oxygen apparently to exert myself like that. So I had to run really fast to get home. Wow long story. Anyway, moral: if you need motivation to run faster, go somewhere spooky. That was a good workout. And lets hope no arsonists are lurking around my neighborhood anymore.
