A Movie About The Fourth
Seen On The Third
And Now A Bit Later. . .
On Sunday, I saw a newly released film “The Fourth of July”. It is an independent movie. Not big budget nor star-studded. Although I am well-aware that few (if any) here or elsewhere will see it, it was enjoyable for me.
As I have previously shared, I like connecting the dots. Not just in the plots of a story but in the way many things come together. It just so happens that this movie has Maine as a key setting. “Location” always matters. So, to speak.
Coincidentally, a recently started book awaited as the holiday weekend continued. There is also a New England aspect to the novel but it is New Hampshire this time.
Fast forward a bit to this most recent Monday. I made the trip home where I grew up not far from Disneyland. Although, it's quite a distance from the East Coast maybe “fantasyland” plays a role.
My sister who lives relatively close to our childhood home sent me a text message in late June informing me the house directly across the street had been newly listed for sale. Arriving, I saw no sign on the property but that’s not that unusual. Upon my inquiring, it seems it had been quickly taken off the market. The possible reasons were discussed - no one gathered had any actual knowledge including my mom who keeps her eyes and ears open to the happenings in her longtime neighborhood.
I wouldn't say that hearsay, idle talk or conjecture flowed but you can understand what can happen as part of many conversations. The topic was soon dismissed as other things were examined. That’s the way things occur. In real life. And, of course, in many aspects of real estate.
