“T”horoughfare

I’m wondering how the “For Sale” description reads for these houses! “During periods of heavy rain, house is accessible by boat. However, no fishing license required.”

I’ve actually driven down the road to see what types of houses are located in this area and many of them are nice – they are just on stilts. Some of the resident families have dogs and I also wonder how they exercise and potty them when the road floods.

I took a photo of the flooded roadway (see above), so you can visualize the situation. Do you see the telephone poles? And the nearby boats? The road leading to the housing development is between those poles and the thick trees to the left. When it’s not flooded, the road is dirt and on either side are fields with tall grasses and trees. You’d never know it from this photo!

At the far end of the photo is a barely visible white house. That’s the beginning of the housing development. See the dirt in the foreground of the photo? That’s where the cars and trucks will park in the evening, when folks take the boats back to their houses.

People learn to adapt to many different situations and I supposed this is just one of them. Not sure if I could hike my skirt up, to get in and out of the boat, into the truck, to go into work. Perhaps this situation would qualify for telecommuting?!
