Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Our wings are not tired.

Sara, my neighborhood (Oakland, cA) has a couple of homes for sale (not foreclosures) in the $300's range that were bought three years ago for $700's. Bewildering, it is.
