Default Don't drink the water!!!

My wife and I just got back from visiting TV. We went there with several absolute requirements: no west facing lanai, not on a golf course, and under $xxx thousand.

We looked at 'pre-owned', new inventory, and lots (lots of lots). After two days in the heat (and dust), we were back in an office where a TV realtor brought us a glass of water. We knew all about the Kool-Aid but this was water. The realtor got us another glass after that was gone. My mind blurred.

The next thing I knew I was back at home and awoke clutching a contract for a west-facing lanai house to be built on a golf course for 50% more than our absolute limit!!

I had wanted to buy in St. James but that doesn't yet exist. However, we will be in the village named after my grandfather; at least I think that's what the realtor said.
