I've got 20k, Brad, what will that buy me?

A ratty cardboard box on the corner of 6th and Congress.

Guys, bidding's in the 150s, with about four hours to go...
 
Some linkage...

Looks like it's the Wild Hog Capital of the World...

I wonder if my little .357 Winchester with a 158 grain JHP would work?

even if I don't win, I'm going to make Brad a few more bucks...

Thanks guys. 

And, yes, a .357 will work but you best be a good shot with it.  Them critters be tough!

If whoever gets it wants to, I'll make a sign for you...

and I'll mail it down to Brad, who could then venture by at a convenience (NOTHING is convenient in Texas...), blow a hole in the top layer, and sink a stake...

22 minutes left, under $300, paperwork included. Such a deal. And it's the Hog Capital of the world...

You know, I can't believe that NOBODY posted any bad nasties about Phil today...

I have about 60 more lots just like this one.  They are all up and down the old rail bed you see in the pic.  This one is one of five stacked north-south, with Lot 1 being the northernmost.  The long side of the lots runs east-west. 

In other words, they are stacked like this...
____  (L1)
____  (L2)
____  (L3)
____  (L4)
____  (L5)

In the same block I also have Lots 11 and 12.  They sit directly behind 1 and 2.  Lot 12 is the northermost.

Lot 2 goes on e-bay Monday.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
