I was born 74 years ago, right here in Houston. We had a cow, a horse, chickens etc. I don’t miss those things but if I had to live without my Tahoe, my computer, my cell phone and especially air conditioning in the summer, I would be a basket case.
Now see, I already do without cell service (I have a 3 year old smart phone that I use to pick up wireless here and there, along with GPS - love my back country navigator - but no actual service on the phone), I no longer own an actual computer, and while I'd love to have a Tahoe for the 4 wheel capabilities, I prefer an older beat up Toyota because they can go anywhere, and I tend to get myself in some pretty hairy 4 wheeling situations, and it don't hurt when I happen to run the side panel into a rock. Otherwise, I'd like to get a horse or mule to take with me on prospecting trips. Somehow I'm just more at home and closer to God when I'm out in the middle of nowhere, sitting next to a campfire and sleeping in a bushcraft type shelter. Air conditioning? Shoot, we got all winter to stay cool! =)
