So there I was minding my own business and a friend of mine sent me this picture, there was evidently a question about how to asses property tax on this, home, errrr Bus, errrr, mobile home.
When I saw it the first thing that came to my mind was, I am glad I do not live there! So I am not sure if it is actually a residence, it could be a work shop, a shed for yard tools or have some other unknown purpose. I am not sure if there is electricity in there or not, could be an underground service feeding it that we cannot see. It appears that the tires are still holding air so it could be considered a mobile home but, the blocks sitting on the ground holding the door shut could indicate that it is anchored down. All mobile homes are required to be anchored to protect them when the tornado comes to destroy them. I am not sure about this geographical location but I seem to remember a rule in Florida that if you have a vehicle on your property it has to be tagged and to be tagged it must be insured. I am betting that this camper has neither.
Most of us are pretty lucky, I cannot imagine living in there, I suppose if the circumstances forced me to I would but I do not think I would like it. It does appear that some level of engineering knowledge was necessary to complete the transformation from short bus to……… we’ll call it a mobile home I think. I am not sure but it appears to be a vintage from the mid sixties, not sure when it landed this premo spot though. Seems to be sitting on a nice piece of property, wooded lot with wild flowers growing right there in the front yard, everything seems so green and lush. If I were guessing, and I am, it appears to be sitting on the banks of a small stream, babbling brook if you will. How pleasant, don’t they always say location, location, location, well it seems all this guy did was listen and pick what appears to be a fabulous location. I am not sure if the Volkswagen in the background is another, much smaller, abode or perhaps the primary or secondary means of transportation. It appears to be a pretty red with a black top while the mobile home is more of a faded white and red with a quite complex faux painted surface that is close to the color of moss or mold green.
It also appears that the green cooler was set and ready for any situation that may require something to be kept cold, with the simple addition of ice. As I gaze a bit closer at the picture I believe I can see the marks from the windshield wipers. Imagine having windows in your house that had a wiper on them, that would be an expensive upgrade I assure you. What better way to survey your surroundings during a storm than to have, built right in, a set of window wipers. How cool is that! I think the only thing missing, and I am not positive with only this one perspective, is the window air conditioner. Friends we need to each say a blessing, we do not live here and if you do live here at least you have something to keep the rain off your head.
We are indeed a lucky lot.
