    Just remembered: Happy Leap Year Day!
    I will be back in 2028 to say it again.
    Good Lord, what will this country look like?
    This, if we fail to take it back.

    We have a little property in East Texas. We get mailed offers about twice a month. All run about 1/3 the market. I guess some dumbass bites every now and then, or they would not be trolling for sellers.
    I was one of those dumbasses who bit. I had a few acres given to me by someone who couldn't pay off a loan I'd made to them. Never saw the land but a quick look at the county valuation showed it to be worth more than twice what he owed. I took the land.

    Later, I actually took a look. The property was landlocked because 3, iirc, transactions prior, the title company had fallen down on the job and not made sure the access easement was conveyed with the property. That was a couple of decades prior and since then, the landowner between me and the road had built his garage and workshop right on top of the easement.

    I talked to a real estate attorney, an agent, a guy who surveyed/inspected land for oil leases, and one who surveyed for the county. They all reached the same conclusion. Getting the easement restored would required multiple parties to go to court, cost far more than the property was worth, and would create a severely pissed-off neighbor who wouldn't be easy to live near.

    I got auto-generated offers to buy all the time. I told them all "Yes, absolutely!" and they would spend a little time doing research and then they were no longer interested. Finally, I got an offer from one guy to whom I explained the whole situation, expecting him to say goodbye and hang up. He didn't. He only wanted to pay a tenth of the county valuation but as far as I was concerned that was a good deal. I took it and never looked back.

    tl;dr - Don't lend money to deadbeats.

    Recorded and watched every episode in order. Working on Tales of Wells Fargo, Wagon Train and Gunsmoke.
    Big plus, the grandbaby likes to sit on my lap and watch the old B&W westerns, not the color ones.
