Let me break some bad news to you: there are no perfect lakefront properties. Some have great views




Writer/philosopher Gustave Flaubert car rental las vegas long term coined the expression Perfection is the Enemy of the Good . I heard a variation of this quote recently when Maine's Senior Senator Olympia car rental las vegas long term Snowe, when explaining her decision to vote for the compromise car rental las vegas long term stimulus package, said Perfection is the enemy of the essentials.
Local talk radio here in Maine has a conservative bent. Local conservatives were venting on The John McDonald Show this morning. How could our two Senators dare to call themselves Republicans after deciding to vote for a package so full of pork? , they asked.
I was kind of surprised when Susan Collins went along with Senator Snowe. This past summer Senator Collins, who was up for re-election, was painted by Democratic campaign operatives as a right wing crazy. Now the right wing crazies are saying she sold them out.
So after being attacked all summer, Susan Collins works with Senators Lieberman , Spector and Nelson to broker car rental las vegas long term a compromise which will result in the passage of the stimulus package. All of them agree that the package is far from perfect.
car rental las vegas long term Let me break some bad news to you: there are no perfect lakefront properties. Some have great views but no sandy beach. Others have great views but marshy or mucky frontage. Some lakefront camps are more primitive than rustic. car rental las vegas long term In all the years I've been selling lakefront real esate I've never seen a truly perfect lakefront property.
So, when looking for a lakefront property, be prepared to compromise a little. car rental las vegas long term You don't want to be like the buyer who recently told me she has been looking for FIVE years. She told me that she would rather car rental las vegas long term not have a lakefront home at all if it wasn't exactly what she wanted. And so she keeps looking.
So…for five years she hasn't had to live in a lakefront home that didn't measure up to her exacting standards. But, also, for five summers she and her family have missed the wonder, pleasure and memories of five golden summers in Maine. Too bad.
