Get the rotten grapes mug.A place where it is possible to own a $1,000,000 plus house and not the land it sits on. All the land is owned by the Archibald family and leased to the other residents. Leases are for a fixed number of years and are good for the original lessee only, anything that violates the terms of these very complicated leases can result in voiding the lease and having to sell or tear down your building. The difficulty in buying into King Lake is really a protection for social climbers, if you step on the wrong toes you can lose your lease, your house and be booted out with no legal recourse.
Edmund bought his king Lake place for a song the former owner lost his lease and had to sell the house or tear it down.

Get the retirement mug.Someone who corrects the English mistakes in the work of another writer. The shepherd who safely guides thoughts and ideas through the swamps of the English language. A maintenance worker who struggles to keep that cobbled together bridge between the writers mind and the readers mind called English from collapsing. A harmless drudge who works just as hard on a toilet paper ad as on a work that will be considered a jewel of western literature. A pain in the neck when it's your paper they're correcting.
