Kinda spooky.

After a very nice change from our normally busy days of juggling calls, sorting out problems our clients are having, and quoting, today was dead quiet because of the Easter holiday, so instead we had time to just talk and enjoy the day at work. More than once today I paused and thought how enjoyable it is to have days like this.

When I left work, I drove north just up the road to a development I'd heard of before where, due to unsafe chemical levels in the soil, it had been uninhabitable, and there it was...a development completely built out, filled with brand new homes in the price range well over a half a million dollars, totally uninhabited! There is a guard house, and the yards are meticulously maintained, but no one lives in a single one of the several hundred houses there. It felt as though I was observing a Twilight Zone episode, and I was disappointed but not surprised I couldn't get too close to any of them due to the security there.

I'm curious whether they think they can clean up the ground, or what they will decide to do eventually to the homes. And wonder where the people who purchased houses here are now living as well.
