blogging about uncertainties

After this entry you will really not know anything for certain about our adventure except that there are a lot of uncertainties in our future right now.
Last Saturday Ben and Julia, Art Hoehn, Henry and I went looking at houses again. We've seen nine now knowing that none will probably be available when/if we actually are in the position to put in an offer. We've seen some "gems" come and go and Art (bless him) says the value of that is just to show that "gems" really do come. I don't know what the opposite of "gem" would be but we've seen (smelled) those too. This is an exercise in learning about our town; I've been on streets that I never knew existed. There are neighbourhoods that we will never be able to afford to live, neighbourhoods that I already love that I never knew existed until now, and neighbourhoods in which I don't want to ever live.
During our rides with Art between house viewing, he prepared us for the fact that the developer could/probably would ask for an extention in removing subjects (ie. contacting and getting an answer from Fisheries about the development possibility). We would need to decide how long and how many extensions are we willing to grant. At any time that we do not agree to an extention the developer can call the whole project off. That would affect 5 lots. What are the others going through? Are they counting on moving and spending as much time as we, looking for a place to live? Are we all on the same page about leaving our homes? Art suggested that we meet with our neighbours to find out where they're at. This is not the kind of fall we expected to have.
Anyway these are my musings about this. I will muse again sometime soon.
