Great topic Slat...
Really happy I turned on the wifi..
Everyone else is still sleeping off the new year festivities...
I am currently debt free and saving..
No SS over here..
People are either prepared or their children take care of them...
There is a type of government welfare.. But I have never met anyone on it...
It's for last ditch situations...
Love hearing about your home...
It sounds perfect...
We purchased some land in the Kootenays and hope to retire there someday...
Got it fairly cheap a few years back... Is worth a bit more now.. By retirement it ought to be just right...
Gonna go start breakfast (and coffee) for the clan...
Hope all is well with you..
Your friend, Kyle

I hope you're enjoying your holiday/time off, my friend. I haven't gotten used to the time difference between you and those of us stateside, U.S.A.
Is it about 12 hours or so, ahead of or behind us

About twelve ahead... It's morning over here...
Great holiday so far...
Bit too much indulging... But (surprisingly) not on my part... I'm getting thumbs up from the Ladies here

We'll get a traffic light one day...

I'm gonna store up about 500 cords of pinyon pine; 1000 or so ounces of silver plus some other cool stuff, gold we've panned over the years; jewelry Ma has collected; turquoise, opals, amethysts, fire opals and garnets we've dug up here and there over the years; pink tourmalines we found in San Diego county when I was a kid. A bunch of those and they are gem quality. They're mining the place now;
iron meteorite fragments. They're worth bucks. I have a device I can pull behind my truck that's very efficient at finding them in our vast, flat dry lake beds. Haven't used it since 2004.
I'll break out the lapidary equipment and make stuff with the agates, jaspers, chalcedonies, onyx, chrysocollas, quartz crystals, geodes.
I'll make sure I raise lotsa good weed too!
I'll do all that, if God let's me hang around that long, 'cause I don't know what will happen with SS in the next 10 years. We may be on a barter system by then.

You could sell that firewood here for enough to build a large, climate controlled building for your weed farm, with enough left over for a bong shop on the side.
It amazes me how much people pay for pinion pine wood here. It sounds like Rice Crispys, and smells good, so people buy it like crazy for their backyard fire pits.
If you have access to the product, I can handle the t***sportation end, and, maybe we both can profit!
Just so's we're clear here, I'm talking about t***sporting firewood!

You never know! I've seen a lot of places have yellow, blinking lights installed at their main intersections over the years!
Lavern, Oklahoma actually has one that goes from red to green now!

Oklahoma has traffic signals

you just watch! I lived in a 1-stopsign town for several years and loved it. Population (Lake Elizabeth and Lake Hughes, CA) combined of around 3,000. For better or worse, everyone pretty much knew everyone, and rumors occasionally made the rounds; most were generally entertaining. One church, one stand-alone bar, one Mom and Pop store. The (historic) Rock Inn has rooms (but not room service or, at least several years ago, no maid service) and a bar/restaurant with local entertainment, Karaoke Wednesday night, and a great Sunday breakfast. One main street, K-8 school with good teachers. Unfortunately, circumstances necessitated my leaving this great little town.
Trust me, I'd go back in a minute if I had the means.

I love it where I'm at. I can walk outside at midnight and all I hear is the ringing in my own ears. Every now and then a car will go by on the highway but we're too far away to hear them.
The coyotes raise hell at night, though. They have their own highway through the cow pastures along the bottomland.

Hmmm...my roommate in Dutch Harbor was from the Philippines. He said they were 14 hours ahead.
Maybe I'm screwed up.
You're east of there?
