MOUNTAIN LIONS AND SALESMAN

Today I talked to Mary Ellen and heard her Mountain Lion story.They live in Bootjack, which is near Yosemite. Well Mary Ellen like cats ! She has many inside and also outside cats. Of course she takes very good care of them all. Anyway she was in the house and Tom said "go chase that squirrel away" She stepped outside and a mountain lion jumped out of the bushes. Naturally this was a little frightening. She was worried that he was after the cats. So for the last year they have built a fence to keep the cats safe. Of course cats go where they want and no fence can keep them in. But she is hoping that she can now sit outside and not worry about being attacked.I am afraid that all those well fed kitties look like a super market for ML.



Different story. Birgita and Dani and I looked at houses on Saturday. The ones she really liked were called The Cottages. However, they had a very high association fee. They told us of another development with a lower one so we went to see them. Now their salesmen were obviously trained by GW. After looking at them all and finding one that was really great we went back to the salesmen(only way out) and the big boss came out and said" you must have had a bad experience with real estate people?" Me!!! no and she...(Gita) is the one looking. How did we find their place, told them who sent us. So ( to me again) how did you like their houses? We loved them I said .He responded by saying well go buy one of them. Uh ! Then they asked what we liked about them. Gita said the pool and the fact that they were free standing. To me again...well then go buy one of them. Why they were so upset with me I have no idea. Even if they could hear what we were saying in the houses, I don't remember saying anything bad, except not liking some of them.Maybe it is a new style of salesmanship.
