I spend a third of the year sleeping in the truck bed (covered by a shell) of a Nissan Frontier pickup out in the western wilderness.

I love this house!

Now an anecdote from Plutarch: Plato watched Diogenes the Cynic washing mere lentils to eat for his dinner while both were in a public square. Plato approached him and ostensibly said: "Diogenes, if only you'd learn to kowtow to kings, you wouldn't have to eat lentils." To which Diogenes immediately responded: "Plato, if only you'd learn to eat lentils, you wouldn't have to kowtow to kings."

I appreciate those who live simply, and refuse to kowtow to "kings."

I’ve been thinking about living in a tent and a Suburban.
