signs of the time


Some people spend their time looking for signs to direct their lives.

I spend my time looking for signs to get a good chuckle.

This sign, for example, is nailed to the front of a house in a suburb of Morelia.  It has everything you need to learn about the house.

It is for sale.  And you can get information by telephone or by showing up at a local address.

And contact --
Raúl Castro?

I knew he was attempting to shoe horn a bit of the free market into his dictatorial command economy.  But with real estate in Mexico?

Of course, posting the Castro name on this particular property may say just a bit too much about the state of a certain island in the Caribbean.
