Hi cybrgeezer,

I am glad you asked these questions. I am not in TV. I am in Cincinnati. Cincinnati will likely remain home base for quite a while, if not forever. We have had the idea of a second home under consideration for more than a year. The past Cincinnati winter convinced me that I need to figure something out before the next winter rolls around. I do not want to rent to others. I just want something available when we can get there.

I started out thinking about a villa, courtyard or patio, both are very nice. But lately I have developed an attraction to the historic side. We were in TV at the end of 2007. We will be back again as soon as we can get away.

When I saw the historic side, I thought it had the gentle feel of what I call "Old Florida." I liked it. Relaxed. Lush tropical plants. Nice people around. And the same sunshine as anywhere else in TV. I think the historic side deserves a really serious look. And besides all that, I don't think there is anything wrong with having one of the least expensive homes in any development.

As far as that caste system thing goes, I have to tell you that I am really good at turning up my nose. I turn up my nose at pretentious people. I do not want to know pretentious people better, and once I establish that's what somebody is, welllll, I just turn up my nose. I think people who actually care how much money somebody has should read that book from a few years back The Millionaire Next Door. That book would really confuse them. They would not know who to snub.

Those snooty people are everywhere. But from what I hear, there are plenty of really friendly people in TV, just lookin' to be all geezers together, having fun. (People were very nice to us when we were there. They invited us to go out to dinner and stuff. Of course, Mr. Boomer looks like John McCain so maybe that was why.)

Now, enough of my social philosophy and back to specifics about manufactured homes.

I know there is something called gray pipes. I do not know what they are. I do know that you do not want them.

I have wondered about how manufactured homes are insured. I think it works differently.

So anyway, I will be watching this thread, too.
