Fellas, it's been good to know ya

I had a long rant nearly composed about property taxes and government spending and deleted it. It is insane that my assessed value of my house has increased more than 50% in ten years.

It can only imagine what it would be if Democrats controlled spending. The Republicans are bad enough. 

I’ve said it before, every elected politician should have to get a tattoo on their forearm that exclaims, “that is NOT your money.”

  1. Friend always carried replacement cost on his home. The unthinkable happened and a forest fire was raging 5/6 miles away but it moved fast and swept through his area and left ash behind. The replacement value was more than double the value of the home.

    Mortgage companies always want enough home owners insurance to cover the mortgage.
