Luckily I was far enough away but had my camera with me and zoom lens ready as a UFO darkened the sky briefly before landing in downtown Indianapolis today. Everyone on foot scattered, taking shelter wherever they could, and traffic turned or sped away as the giant saucer-shaped craft hovered close to ground-level near the corner of Illinois and Washington Streets. As you can imagine after taking this shot, I didn’t wait around to see if any aliens disembarked or tractor beams were employed to actually pull anyone or anything on board, as I ran around the corner to a safe distance. In what seemed like only 10 seconds later, the ship gained altitude again and was gone, headed toward the southeast and out of sight. I was astonished at what I had seen like everyone else I talked with and just thankful that everything seemed to be OK and especially that I had a photo record of the close encounter.
A transaction I had been working on for quite a while closed today. As closings go it was a little different because the buyer wasn’t local and couldn’t attend on the day closing was to be. So the seller signed their documents here, then copies overnighted to the buyer and signed the next day, and overnighted back to be finalized on day three today. Usually buyers and sellers along with their agents meet at a title company together to close, and the whole process takes usually a little less than an hour. But I’ve seen all kinds of variations of that. Like, one party is only free in the morning and the other party is only free in the afternoon…so a two part closing. Or occasionally there is a divorcing couple who are selling but don’t want to be in the same room as each other. That’s kind of fun to deal with, but we do. Anyway or either way, all’s well that ends well so they say. My focus is on making sure my client is happy with the outcome and try very hard so that the other party is too. That time is an important one in people’s lives and the closing should be friendly and a have positive energy to it. One chapter ending and another beginning for everyone.
