I'd be covered in saw dust year around if I could figure out how to afford to live the SF Bay Area. We have some friends who live in Burlingame, about 10 miles south of SF, and their nice 2700 sq ft 1960's rancher is still worth $1.6 million. [scared] [scared] [scared] [scared] Not moving out there anytime soon, I'm afraid.

Howard,
My wife and I spent time in San Fran during our honeymoon in '94. We said "Wow, it's really nice here...maybe we should move out here?"
Then, we stopped in some fairly nondescript neighborhood on the north side of the Golden Gate Bridge and pulled some real estate listings....and noted that the smallish houses there were something like 3X [eek] the price of our modest townhouse in very expensive Northern Virginia.

Today we broke the number of triple-digit days in one year. The old record was 69 days and was a dust bowl record. We've also only had about 3-4 inches of rain all year. Our normal annual rainfall is over 30 inches...

Tom,
I heard Lake Travis is 40-45 feet down again and they are finding old cars, boats, whatever that was normally out of view with normal lake levels. We are on stage 2 water rationing in Plano which means no more than twice a week watering. Bad time for landscapes.

I spent July 4th, (Give Away a Colony Day for our UK brethren), at a friend's house on Lake Travis. It's sort of a tradition among my friends. A few years ago, the owner and I went scuba diving for stuff that fell off his floating dock after the party was over. People had lost glasses and keys. When we got to the ultra-murky bottom, it was 50 feet deep. This year, that same spot was dry.
He sucks their domestic water from a pump on his dock. That dock is normally connected to the shore by a double-pivoting gangplank. On the 4th, it was floated out and disconnected. He's had to disconnect it a few times in the 20+ years they've lived there but I think this is the worst.
