The county came and cut the grass next door this morning. It's a good thing, too. It was seriously out of control. I suppose it's not a unique story in Northern Virginia -- overpay for a house (and they did) on an adjustable rate or interest only loan (just guessing) and be overextended and either file bankruptcy or face foreclosure. Looking at the recent sales in our neighborhood, there are a lot of banks taking ownership. Good times.
