Idiot.

So we went to our appointment with our new loan officer today…
…and found out that, gee, the reason why we couldn’t get anywhere with the one we fired on Friday was because you can’t hold two FHA mortgages at the same time.
I wonder when the asshole was planning to tell us that.
The good news is that our tenant might be closer to being able to buy the condo than we thought. In which case we would be closer to being able to buy the house. And asshole loses not just one but two mortgages. Which suits me just fine.

People never cease to amaze me

As I was digging through the Kindle Science Fiction offerings, looking for something to read, it occurred to me that anyone who buys a $0.99 “golden age” SF book from Amazon
1) must not know about Gutenberg.org, and
2) therefore is a damn fool.
It just amazes me that there are so many people out there creating private label books and story anthologies from out-of-copyright stuff leeched off of Gutenberg — and frankly, that Amazon is crapping up its offerings with multiple copies of the same damn thing.
That’s all.
