Dennis...
You want to borrow my Viking cap today? 
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Darn, tripper...that statement caught my immediate attention, but I wasn't really sure why....being old and outta shape. Then it dawned on me a few
minutes ago.......a schoolyard incident which was recurring while I was in the fifth grade in a badass Catholic school right after the war.
This other Irish kid, Jimmy Gallagher, and I used to fight on an almost daily basis. We would go after each other in a terrible manner while in
school and the Nuns wrote on one of my report cards that they thought I was slow to think and sluggish in response.
Jimmy was sure that I was at least one of those, but Jimmy wasn't too smart either.
Anyway, the school had my parents take me to a child psychologist for an evaluation of some sort and we left the doctor's office after a really boring
afternoon of stooopid questions.
A couple of days later, me and my folks [it was a family affair] were called together with the Number One Nun and it was decided that I needede to be
advanced two grades, but one at a time since the culture shock could have adverse effects on me.
Another reason for the delay from moving to another room is I had to wait for my wrist to repair from beating Jimmy Gallagher's face flat. It had a
bad sprain.
The really good thing was, Jimmy didn't mess with me anymore since I was an upper classman.
Thought you may want to know what was wiggeling around in the back of me old, out of shape mind.
Thanks for listening.

Your sense of humor is in need of repair and after your nastiness here, we have no hope. |
When I said, "out of shape," I was referring to your physique (about which others on this forum have said worse), not your mind. (Doing the latter
really would have been nasty, under the circumstances.)
Why is it that my saying you are out of shape is so "nasty," while your calling me the names referred to above (not to mention some comments about my
giving myself a colonoscopy) is acceptable? (Rhetorical question, ONLY.)
Yeah, yeah, yeah - you keep threatening (or promising, depending on one's point of view) that we're "through," but you keep comin' back.

The comment to which I referred was this one. I see that it was nothing personal, though.

I had a shrink ask me one time if I heard voices.
I replied, "Yeah. Yours."
Appointment cut short.

Sounds just like my experience at St. Patrick's in Butte MT except that my Irish kid was Bobby Knivel (later AKA Evil Knivel).

Apropos that he would take the name, EVIL, from a Catholic school.

I don't believe what you said about Foster City. I have lived about 7 minutes away from there for the past 20+ years, and I have never heard such a

Sorry, I should have said ... 1/3 of the homes WERE on leased land. I know that this was before your time (late 60s-early 70s) but there are still
leasehold homes on Stanford property:
Homes on leased land near San Francisquito Creek. Approximately 45 homes on Bay Laurel, Lemon, Oak and Oak Knoll sit on land owned by Stanford
University. At one time the Stanford family owned a home in this area called Cedro Cottage. In the early 1950s part of Cedro Cottage was taken by
eminent domain to build Oak Knoll School, while the rest was developed as the Stanford Creek housing tract. The homes were sold on a land
lease—owners can buy and sell the house, but the land under the house is leased from Stanford. These land leases run for 99 years from the date of
first sale in the early ‘50s Although this is a common practice in commercial real estate, the only comparable situations I’m aware of in local
residential real estate are the homes on Stanford campus, the Stanford Hills development, and Foster City where homeowners who had short-term leases
from the developer. When the Foster City leases expired, the homeowners were o-u-t.

Oh. I was not aware of the Foster City situation (obviously). I am aware that Stanford owns a ton of land around here and that there are homes on
the campus. I thought that those homes (as well as the land) were owned by Stanford, though, and rented (or given) to faculty and the like -- rather
than being SOLD. I would have thought the same about other homes on Stanford property. Nonetheless, if I could get an enforceable, 99-year lease,
I'd certainly consider buying a house on leased land.
