Well, anyone can see on my homepage that I’m from Tennessee :-) I thought about Northern California but it is way too close to Southern California. And the Nazis in Sacramento are still in charge of it.
I hear you on bad elements moving around the country. We deliberately picked a very rural, economically depressed area quite a ways from a large city. That way it would pretty much stay the way it is. Illegals and liberals like to invade places that are growing it seems.
You’re smart, mixing money and business with friends and family is just too dangerous for the relationship. No matter how close or friendly.
did you ever get your shed rebuilt?
CA was beautiful when I was a child, coming through the pass from Reno around the south rim of Tahoe. First glimpse of that beautiful lake couldn't believe it. Then we'd stop at a store and get something to make sandwiches and fruit, etc., and stop at one of the picnic tables there used to be scattered around among the trees. Something about the air I can't even put into words. Had my first two children there late 1963 thru Jan 66. Made lots of friends. Living cheap. Terrified of freeways that I wouldn't live to make it back to Iowa. Now it's almost as bad in the IA/IL area. Not anything close really but scarier.
Tonight I'm fed up with the family. Won't go into it. Horrible being dependent on irresponsible adult kids. Have to make other arrangements and don't really have anybody to appoint. Have a good lawyer. Didn't want it to come to this. I may leave them some crumbs and take measures to protect what I've struggled to manage. Set up a trust. Am scared I won't live long enough to get all the problems worked out.
I chopped the rest off for now. Went overboard again.
