It’s Official — We Are Elite, But Where’s Route 40?
Posted by John Lockwood on December 22nd, 2006
It gives me great pleasure to announce that the California Department of Real Estate has recognized us as Elite Properties.
Now let me be clear, for Department of Real Estate, that just means that the DRE acknowledges our “Doing Business As” name.
Of course, those of you who know how I upgraded my act with the hiring of Bridget — and those who clicked on the Elite link above to Dictionary.com — know that the word also means this:
e·lite [i-leet, ey-leet] –noun
1. (often used with a plural verb) the choice or best of anything considered collectively, as a group or class of persons.
2. (used with a plural verb) persons of the highest class: Only the elite were there.
And those of you who not only click on links but are great proofreaders will note that the Department of Real Estate has yet to enjoy the fun that I enjoyed on my Wonderful Amador County Adventure. As you can see from that link, I knew even as I first entered Amador County that I was on route 49. So we need to bring the DRE up to speed on this issue, which we’ll do shortly. (If we really want to get on their good side, we’ll take them to the indigenous diner, Marlene and Glen’s). The DRE has poor Bridget eking out a living on the hitherto unexplored “Route 40″, as we can see below:
