Ok, I'm back. I had to take a flight on the 12th instead of the 11th, a day late for my new job. They'll probably cancel the offer for that! (hopefully not! LOL)

Are you stressed about the North Korean nuke test. Ironically I'll bet getting closer to it when I go to Taiwan Thursday, and yet still about 1500 miles away from it, I'd guess.

Yes, serious times now. Japan will probably build nukes after this, that's what people say anyway.

My new job (if they don't cancel it!) is about an hour north of that capital city I like so well, however it is on the train line (while the little hill town, was closer, but had only a slow bus, sometimes it took 2hours each way with bad traffic!). The train always takes just one hour, and of course no traffic stops, so I should enjoy living there. Get paid more too, work more hours, but get paid more. Who knows, in six or seven years I can come back to the good old USA and buy that farm out west.

Though I want the farmland more just to have no close neighbors, I don't know if I'll actually till it. I plan on putting up a log cabin house (or some other inexpensive alternative building style) and a huge greenhouse, operated by me! With a small garden in Oregon I got to where I could keep maybe 20 people feed (squash, eggplant, tomatoes, big radishes, all of many types, plus many other plants, they produce like mad!).

So the plan is to meditate and read in my secluded greenhouse beside my log cabin on my private land. Works for me!! (PS, I reserve the right to never do any of that, and just buy a regular house in a regular town and get a regular job somewhere, but the dream gives me something fun to fantasize about and work for!)
