Never can figure that one out. City folks want out of the city because they think they'd like what we've got, then the first thing they do is bring their rules and regs right along with 'em.
Really wish I knew how to build rock walls and had the strength to do it.
Me too!!! For me the strength pretty much gets me but I would try anyway. Even just my stacking of rocks along the beds and wherever I want them adds to my place I think. I don't know what I'd do with a whole river full of boulders. We got lots of rocks but they're mostly little. They build up nice though.
I had to stop going to town meeting. First were the complaints about high taxes, then immediately the complaints about “no sidewalks in town, no streetlights, no library” and on and on. Didn’t these newcomers realize that our taxes were determined by what expenditures were voted in? Some refinement woulld be suggested and all around me would be the buzzing-”that would be nice.” All the while, I would be visualizing my taxes going up, up, up along with my blood pressure!
