是日站内新闻"悉尼机场将举行年度旅客遗忘物品拍卖"拾获一句、二个词组：
句一：
One person's left luggage is another's loot. 一个人遗落的行李成为另一人的拍得物。
词组一：
fire-sale price 大甩卖的价格（感觉与国内跳楼价，吐血狂抛有异域同义之感）
再查：fire sale 为：减价出售,火灾品拍卖,火灾受损物资拍卖
词组二：
buyer beware 买家注意 （俺的理解：遇有质量问题买家自理，因其含There's no guarantee of quality ）

Set your cares and wishes free to ride the dandelion breeze.

bigcrow

Dandelion you're like me
Set adrift to ride the breeze
Drifting here and settling there
To grow as if you have no care
Only those like you will know               
配合一下版主，吹呀吹呀这风吹，俺飘飘然无定所。

Do you like over 55's communities?

Do you like over 55's communities?

Are there any over 60's communities?

Are there any over 60's communities?

Yes. Of course. But it is more different than over 55's. it's need more money to live in. The properties only sell for over 60's. you can buy it,  but can't sell it by market and you need to pay some money else every month.
