Backyard sunset

Fall gently reminded me of her presence while I was grilling some Beer Bratwurst last night to go with a big batch of mushrooms, onions, garlic and peppers sauteed in butter. It was 72 degrees but the leaves are falling. Naturally, I felt obliged to stop and open a cold one to allow my cell phone to take a picture. Texas voters just supported a much needed overhaul in property tax structure, so ours were cut dramatically both at home and for the warehouse. Decent occasional rains are keeping the lake up, gas prices are $ 2.35/gallon and dropping fast, the deer are plentiful and the fish are biting.
Life is good in the cheap seats.

I always have more questions than answers. That's the nature of life.

Great picture!
What a view to enjoy! Around here the taxes on the view alone would be close to 5 figures a year (Prince Edward County ...the blob sticking down into Lake Ontario from the north)
Even with the recent reforms, Texas property taxation rates are still quite high. When we had low property values, the actual cost of taxes was not so bad. BUT Californians are flocking here in large numbers, bringing huge wads of home equity cash. Previously “undiscovered” areas are suddenly seeing property values doubling, tripling, and sometimes much more. It can be heart-stopping to get a tax statement from the county showing that your modest home has been reevaluated at $1 million. In the five years that I have been in this house, six of my neighbors have cashed out and left the state. The new owners in each case are “weekenders” buying a vacation home.
At least you can graduate from Cali with grade F's in High School.
Save me a whiskey for the empty Adirondack.
