“Beryl Novak bought 40 acres of forest here in 1966 for $700.”

A sound purchase. I wish I owned a chunk of land like this.

More or less halfway between Hibbing and International Falls.

He’s doing a mighty fine job by my standards. My assessment doesn’t count however cuz I have a vacuum-equipped wifee. She has a mower too.

He reminds me of Richard L. Proenneke. I respect, admire, and support fellow men who see how truly sick our society has become, and try to keep away from it as best as possible.

Think of Obi Wan Kenobi from the 1977 Star Wars Film.

Same principle.

Some men just get fed up with the stupid crap, and move far away from it.

“There wasn’t anyone left calling me who I wanted to talk to,” Novak said. “People would say, 'But we can’t get ahold of you,’ and I’d say, ‘That’s the point.’”

Sweet.

Getting 4 posts with the same time stamp is a record AFAIK.

Congratulations. [Switch point bounce can be FUN!]

If it were just me and had the means, I would live in a similar but neater fashion.

Most of modern society I don’t want.
