I proceeded to do my usual very thorough and very professional inspection -
of the building, that is. 'Course, during the four hours or so we were
together, I couldn't help but do a thorough-enough visual check of her,
too - very subtly and discreetly, of course. Don't forget, my eyesight is
still very good, and I don't miss much. She was worthy, but as usual, I let
it get away.

For several years I did private, independent home inspections, most often
for buyers. About 9 years ago, I pulled up to a house to start and
inspection my client, a nice-looking woman maybe 45 or so, was on front
steps waiting for me. When she saw my very good-looking, ivory '80
Mercedes, she jumped up and came running toward me squealing, "I didn't
know
you were driving a Mercedes!" I laughed and said to her, "We people are
sort of funny aren't we? I drove up in a $2500, 20-year-old,
84-horsepower,
Diesel-driven Mercedes and you got all excited. If I had driven up in a
$35,000 pickup, you wouldn't have said a word." We had a good laugh and
agreed.
