Do people sometimes think they really, really want to do something, but in talking to them it's obvious to you that they haven't thought it through?

We’re going to sell the land. Sad, I know. Have a couple that is interested. I’ve been exchanging messages on FB with the gal, we’ll call her Becky. Becky said they’d been looking for 3 years for a place in the country.
I mentioned that it already had a well. I consider that a plus. However, she said if it only had a well, that could be a deal breaker for her husband.
I said, “Why? It’s free water!”
But they don’t want a well.

Then I told her the story of when the grandkids called the coyotes in one evening, in the twilight. They were howling their heads off…and the coyotes answered! It was great. They were beside themselves with excitement.
She said, ‘My child would freak.”

I’m like….to myself “Um. Well, your child be freaking every freaking night then!” It’s the country. Well water and coyotes.

Actually, I called the town today that handles that area and learned they put rural water out there last year, but to get it run to your place each family has to chip in $12,000! But the county would finance it over 5 to 10 years.
