But there is a slight point: this is my personal little "Galt's Gulch". I encourage you to consider finding your own Gulch wherever fits you (I full well recognize that this may not be your cup of tea). This Gulch is not perfect...but it is a whole lot better than where I was (the "Freak State" Maryland).
mark, how long have you lived in Thailand??
Did you retire there?
North? South?

It’s beautiful, but I refuse to leave my beloved grandchildren. I’m stuck here unfortunately.
Where are the homeless encampments?
Anyway, I typically go through $400 worth of Command strips to hang them all up each year and all said and done, there are about 8,000 white lights (all LED) in my living room, den, kitchen, library and hallways. Then I put up the tree and multi-colored lights in the bathrooms (only the bedrooms are excepted because we have to sleep, you know!) and you can walk through the house without having to turn on any other lighting. Then you have the candles, the moon lamps and the lava lamps to make it even more festive.
I think I recognize Dagny Taggart and Kay Ludlow there in that third photo, but who are the other Gulch Ladies?
;-)
Beautiful photos. Nicely framed, too. You shoot like a pro.
Have you ever watched any of the videos on youtube by the Nomad Capitalist? He says to go where you are treated best. With the way things are going in the US, it may be time for the younger folks to start looking around. I don’t want my grandchildren to live in a country where they are persecuted for being white.
I visited Pattaya twice while in the Navy. My favorite liberty port. The women were freakin gorgeous. I think the scenery was, too, but my memory is little sketchy there. Really, though, it was a fun, beautiful place.
I’ve only visited once but found the Thai people to be beautiful and their language sounds like a song. Great food, too!
There’s still gulch potential in MD. My 85 year old Mom lives in a 100 year old farmhouse on the Eastern Shore next to the water at the end of a long dirt road. Nothing but her and the wildlife.
