DOS

Smoke, baby!  We have been smoked on two of our candidates.  First the lot fell through, and now our rehab candidate (which we  will call, "Harvard") fell through.  No worries.  We have faith.  And we believe that we should count the blessings we don't see, as well as the ones we do.  These two eggs broke before their time.  These dos tacos crumbled and fell to the floor.  Or, if you are French, these deux baguettes are now in the mouth of the stray dog that roams the city.  We wish him well and hope that he has a nice meal.  We don't begrudge him his success or his meal.  (Belle chiot!)

We still have our new-build-spec-home going.  And we may consider building on the next lot we own instead of doing a rehab, renovation, transformation, configuration thingy.  But, before we get too new construction-like...

We still have five (5) (cinco) (cinq) (groupe de cinq objets) candidates that we will be looking at very closely in the next day or two.  And, of those we will probably bid on one or two.  So stay tuned and don't lose heart.  It is not luck.  It is statistics.  Sometimes eggs are going to get broken.  Tacos will crumble.  A baguette or two will be drug off by the stray dog or dogs.  But if you really feel  like you need good luck, well then, here you go:  Mi amigo, bon oportunidad!  Or, Bon chance, mon ami!

We'll stick with statistics and faith.  And, until next time, we'll keep the sunny side up.
