One day someone is going to build about a million houses on this place and get way richer than he already is.

“A lake is the landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is Earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.”
- 9. The Ponds, Walden, HDT
OOOOH, the depth of his own nature! BUSTED. By a dead guy. Ouch.
