Took a look at a fairly large place in the hills above San Leandro the other day.  Outside was fairly nice with a few modifications that caused some headscratching as to why the hell someone had done the modifications they'd done (i.e. linoleum flooring on the entryway outside the front door).  The big "huh" was the door that had been sealed in a half assed manner to the kitchen from the backyard stairs.

On the inside, there was a unpainted piece of sheetrock over the sealed door.  On it, the previous owners had written this farewell message:

"GOOD LUCK.  This place has been robbed 3 times in one year."

It was then that I looked out the back window and took a really good look at the downslope view.  A flea bag motel...the back of a rather sketchy looking, possibly Section 8, apartment complex.  If you're gonna rob a house, why walk farther uphill than you have to I suppose.  Sure, there could be tastier goodies at the top but, dude, like that's effort.

I do, in fact, have I house. Well spotted.

As you may have noticed, it is not a very nice one. I must get a bigger and nicer one to house my derelict sister after she completes her humanities degree ;).

Gotta look out for beloved little sister. Two years from now, that ketchup special collection at Denny's ain't gonna organize itself. I have to make sure you are appropriately housed so you have the tools for success ;).
