Your post is a fresh breath of positivity glowing in it. You have inspired me with your honesty. I feel like the scales have dropped from my eyes. I like you. Maybe you come to my place and meet my sister.

Not since the ACLU eliminated protective custodial commitments 50 years ago.

They will condemn his shack take away his tools as litter and he can go live under a bridge with the rest of the nuts.

While the lifestyle is his choice, it reinforces the idea that “necessity is the mother of invention”.

And put him in prison because I bet he hasn’t paid his taxes.

I don’t know. There’s work arounds with mental health evaluations and he could be deemed a danger to himself and over ride whatever the ACLU did. Happens a lot.

I really hope not. The man is living his dream and looks really healthy for age eighty-two. He’s built a little paradise, hurting no one.

“Does he pull his own teeth with pliers?”

Don’t be silly.

He gets his buddy, Wilson, to do that.

Just calling it as I see it and I see it not good at all.
