“What do you do for a living? What do you like to do when you’re not working? “
I run a start-up software company and I’m a business-class Systems Analyst, and I run that company too. When I move into an area I find about 4 hand-picked clients and get about 10 hours a week.
My wife is an independent fashion buyer and wholesaler. We both work from home and need an internet connection and a spare room or two to run our operations. And a little classroom / library for our daughter. Maybe a garage and workshop for metalwork.
I do outdoor stuff as a hobby. Hiking, fishing, mostly survivalist-level but my wife considers a pop-up camper “roughing it”. I crave vast expanses. But we would move into town and get a house where the people are, and then get a weekend place out in the deep woods. That’s the plan anyway.
Oh and I want to start riding a motorcycle again. The weather up has been pretty harsh on that hobby. The roads are a mess and the weather and fellow motorists are just terrible.
So the only reason employment is important to me is that in areas with low employment, crime goes up. My intent is to move into a town that I would raise my daughter in and that means stepping up to the plate and helping around - specifically helping out around town hall.
"The Daniel Boone National Forest embraces some of the most rugged terrain west of the Appalachian Mountains. Steep forested slopes, sandstone cliffs and narrow ravines characterize the land.
Visitors come here to hike, camp, picnic, rockclimb, boat, hunt, fish, ride, target shoot and relax. The forest contains three large lakes (Cave Run Lake, Laurel River Lake and Lake Cumberland), many rivers and streams, Clifty Wilderness, Beaver Creek Wilderness, Red River Gorge and the Sheltowee Trace National Recreation Trail that extends across the length of the forest.
Spread across 21 counties of southern and eastern Kentucky, more than 708,000 acres of national forest system lands are managed within a 2.1 million-acre proclamation boundary. The forest is divided into four ranger districts: Cumberland, London, Redbird and Stearns." Link
