Can't Shake Those Germans

We put in another offer on a house today -- a real one, not an I'm-fishing-around-to-see-if-you'll-take-$50,000-less one. I don't want to say too much this time for fear of jinxing the deal (or appearing too hopeful), but the house is nice -- almost a hundred years old, but completely rehabbed ten years ago (so no worries about knob-and-tube wiring or a dodgy foundation).

And it's in the historical core of a city founded by German immigrants! Who moved to California to make wine!

(In other real estate news, the agent selling the Birch Street house never bothered to call us back after we faxed in our backup offer. And we know that he got it. What a boor!)
