    The grandkids can buy the house at that bank auction. (Although they could be outbid, naturally.)

    The estate would still owe the difference, and may be insolvent due to that, but the grandkids would not owe that difference / have to assume the mortgage.

    Assuming the estate is in debt and loses money on the house, the bank may be more involved in other aspects of the estate. For example they may want items of value (eg: jewelery) to also be sold at auction rather than gifted to heirs.

    Just saying that you may wish to pick your battles.

    To save you a click. (There’s not much more in the article.)

    Unfortunately, the article doesn’t mention where he got it. Was he visiting some lab or did he get bit someplace some locals should be taking precautions?

    (He’s retired, but I don’t know if he still has a presence in the industry or not, giving talks and doing visits.)



  • +1 to making sure your washer fluid can handle the cold and to making sure your tires handle snow/ice well. (There are definitely all-seasons that’ll do well or better than some winter tires. Unless you know that where you’re moving doesn’t plow down to pavement, I’d avoid studded tires.). Tirerack.com used to have a ton of data about tire performance on ice & snow, so you might look there, but they’ve been reducing the range of tires they carry and rate in the last few years so they may not have your tires.

    Find a snow brush for your car that will let you reach & clear the snow off your car. I’ll also say I often am most disappointed by the ice scraper on a brush – meaning that’s the part that makes me regret the purchase of an individual brush.
