Go to work, St. Joe
We're resorting to witchcraft to get this house to sell. Legend says a small statuette of Saint Joseph (the Builder, the Worker, etc.), planted upside down and feet toward the road, will expedite the transaction. I guess it's spun out of the "no room at the Inn" problem. Need a place to stay? Try this house. We looked around for a small figurine a few weeks ago, but didn't find one. Dismissed it as mere voodoo and superstition, anyway. But a package arrived yesterday; D's sister came through for us, sending this little guy from Colorado Springs. Since nothing else is working, I troweled a small hole, positioned him just so, filled it in, and packed it with my heel.
