I drove through one of the area's hoity-toity areas yesterday -- homes probably start at $500,00 and go up from there. This one is currently under construction with this huge pond in front of it.
The highway department must think bad weather's on the way -- on my way home I saw they had started to treat the 4-lane -- see those lines on the pavement -- that's a salt treatment that they put down before snow hits.
This big tent has been set up in the parking lot of the local mall since Thanksgiving. It's from one of the large furniture dealers out of one of the Carolinas, South maybe?
