From Pine View Farm

Waterlogged 2

Some years ago in the mid-70s, some of my friends and I took a driving trip through the Outer Banks. It was my first visit there.

When I saw homes built dangerously close to the water (homes that now are on stilts because the Atlantic Ocean is gonna do what it’s gonna do), I recall remarking that “Americans go all stupid when someone says ‘waterfront property.'”

According to my local rag, that may be starting to change.

    I had to laugh. Two lawyers, named the Stiffs, looking for their best “investment.” “No one, of course, knows exactly what the future holds, but there’s consensus on the broad strokes.”

    I have always felt that anyone who thinks of his or her primary resident as an “investment,” rather than as a place to live, is a damn fool.

    I think events have born out my opinion.
