While driving along Highway 360, Capital of Texas Highway, in Austin, from our hotel to the CLHMS class we were teaching, we were looking at the scenery, and of course at the homes. Lining the tops of many of the hills were row of homes, many partially hidden by trees. One large home was out at the tip of the ridge, closest to the highway. This large home had a huge banner hung on the side of the house FOR SALE, with a phone number to call. Easily visible from the highway, this banner advertises to tens if not hundreds of thousands of people traveling that highway every day. Now if it just had a website instead of a phone number ……

Oh my! What is it about that sign the also cries "desperation?"
