But I Didn't Win The Lottery
I'm starting to think that it might have a negative affect on property values. Here is a list of news that has been made in the last 5 years within a mile of my house:
- Murder involving the radical MOVE group from Philadelphia at my apartment complex in Maple Shade, Jersey.
- Guy drives his car into a river in my complex in Palmyra, NJ after murdering his girlfriend and setting fire to her house. The girl's house was in JonathanM's house and MarkR had connections to the girl. The three of us sat in adjacent cubes at work. Weird.
- A month after I moved out of Eagan, MN, the apartment two doors down from me (same building) caught fire. I hope it wasn't the microwave I gave them.
- Black bear spotted less than half a mile from my house in Sammamish, WA.
- Downstairs neighbor locks himself in the house with guns and refuses to come out.
- Cops have standoff with car thieves down the road from my house.
The Jersey incidents aren't that surprising the but ones out here in Washington are odd. I live in one of the lowest crime communities in the Seattle area.
I feel like Hurley.
Speaking of that, I've been watching the 2007 World Series of Poker Main Event. So far Scotty Ngyuen has been doing well. He won the main event back in 1998. Did you know that the night he called home to tell his family he won, his brother died in the ensuing celebration?
