Apparently the folks in greenwich, ct didn't get the memo...

...that there was a recession going on.
Yesterday Ichanneled dinsdale helped a buddy of mine finish up a yob in lovely greenwich. Bill has a bidness installing playscapes, usually in schools or parks, but this one was at somebody's crib. This very nice couple was having it put up for their little girls birthday.
These are not your typical back yard swing sets. They are very heavy duty and big $$$$$. Some of the larger ones he puts in are 6 figures and he may get over 20K just to install them.
The neighborhood this house was in was absolutely ridiculous. Many of the homes were well over 10K square feet and not a damn bit of vinyl siding in site. Whole lotta stone and wood though. No mc mansions in this hood. these were the real fukking deal.
the house we worked at was a little on the small side. i'd guess only about 8K ft, but, dayum, was it hooked up. amazing stonework everywhere and in the back yard a few pollock carpenters were working on what could best be described as a really really high end carport. actually, it was not for cars. just a really expensive shade creator for the patio. this fukking thing was done in a sort of chinese pagoda style. all post and beam, cedar shake roof, copper trim, and anything else you can thing of that looks expensive.
all day long we watched the local milfs jog by or drive by in their porsche SUVs. BTW, the porsche SUV is apparently THE soccer mom rig in greenwich. they prolly got some sort of zoning regs against explorers.
the highlight of the afternoon was some honey from the ginormous (well over 10K sq. ft) shack across the street. she came walking up to me with a very concerned look on her face.
high $$$ milf: uhhh, excuse me, have you seen a 9 year old boy around?
smackadale: nope, but i'll keep an eye out.
h$m: thank you. it's really not like him to run off.
she then walked over to the other mansions, knocked on doors, etc. it was obvious she was very distressed.
about 5 minutes later 3 GPD rigs pull into the driveway. cops everywhere, but, strangely enough, not a barechested redneck or trailer in sight. a few minutes later one of the neighbors involved in the hunt is walking by. i asked how the search was going. he smiled and said they found him .... in the fukking house.
note to rich folks- if you ever lose your kid and call in the entire town police force and then you find him....in the fukking house, maybe, just fukking maybe.... you got a little too much house.
the funny part is i'd be willing to bet lots of these asshats think global warming is a serious concern. not serious enough to buy a house, ohhh, maybe small enough for just 3 or 4 families, but serious none the less. i am also certain that plenty of them went out and bought a few zillion carbon credits to "help" in the fight against AGW.

She was in the house all along. She fell asleep in the upstairs den. Said she made a bite to eat after we fucked and didn't want to wake me while she watched tv and had her 4am snack.
