Recently sold my home of forty years, for various reasons. Still hold the hope that it may be returned to me, via cash, someday. Very different from yours, a ranch style.

Government was brought into being to benefit the people not to live off of them. My pet peeve with politicians these days is that no one wants anything to do with maintenance. It all has to be on something new, some new program, some change in view, so that all can be encompassed, instead of doing their jobs protecting us.
