LOL -
'reminds me of when I bought my house out here in the woods - The day I was moving in, a moose crossed the road and ambled on down through my land - so I dubbed my place "Moose Crossing"
Even though I am finally back in the woods - I'm still not as far away from the "maddening crowd" as I'd like. Still, I'm thankful to be able to look out my windows and only see woods and sky...and the 'quiet' is priceless.
I'm not antisocial - I just prefer to choose the people I socialize with. :O)
Still, I think I feel a wee bit envious of your place further away from the madness - and it sounds like you have a view - the forest is close around me, so even though I own the land as far as I can see - I can't see very far!
However - I don't envy you your longer winters - I have enough as it is in carrying in the wood and keeping the stove going. (I did get a break tonight, though - one of my grandson's stopped by to visit and filled up my woodbox.) I love the friendly heat and scent of the wood stove and will not burn a drop of oil until the snow and ice - or a blizzard - makes it really difficult for an old lady to get the wood.

“Moose Crossing”! I love that name too...and suppose I could have used it as well since we, of course, do have moose. And wolves. Had a pack of wolves howling across the road the other night. Had a close enounter with a wolf while out moose hunting this fall too.
I am like you...not antisocial, just like to associate with those I know and like or love. I don’t like crowds, loathe cities, so this area suits me well. Even though there’s probably only about 50 people living here year round, there is plenty of companionship to go around. We all look out for each other too.
Yes, we have a view. Mountains to the north are the “artwork” in our cabin, and Mt. Sanford graces us to the south. Actually, when away from the cabin you’d see that we are literally surrounded by mountains and all of them near. It’s a beautiful and cruel land.
Yes, winters are toooooooooooo long and toooooooooooo cold. We talk of going Outside to break it up a bit, and will do that one of these days unless Obama wipes out our retirement savings.
I just filled up the woodbin on the porch, stoked the woodstove and noticed that our temp rose to 10 above after a low of -18 this morning. That’s a good, warm day. LOL
One of these days I would love to travel to Maine. Have seen beautiful pictures of your state, and the color change is spectacular too.
State Of Hawaii Backs Andy Martin In Obama Birth Certificate Battle
November 1, 2008
(HONOLULU)(November 1, 2008) Internet powerhouse Andy Martin has ignited a firestorm in Hawai’i over Barack Obama’s bogus “original” birth certificate. Martin won a stunning victory Friday afternoon (October 31st) when the State of Hawai’i backed his assertion that there was an original, “typewritten, 1961” birth certificate, called a “Certificate of Live Birth” or “COLB” in Hawai’i, that no one has previously seen. Hawai’i officials retrieved and examined the document after Martin filed a lawsuit seeking access to the historic 1961 original.
Obama has falsely claimed to have placed the “original” on the Internet. Factcheck.org has falsely claimed to have seen this document and posted it on the Internet; that is not true. CNN has falsely ridiculed Martin.
Hawai’i officials have now refuted Obama’s false assertion....
for your stack of stuff:

I don’t know exactly how that helps. We already knew he was a liar. It seems that if they have a real birth certificate for Hawaii, the game is over. What am I missing?
could it be that he will be caught in a poor comparison with the one posted on his website, which is now going to be deemed a forgery??
“He is set to hold a Saturday news conference in Chicago and disclose new attacks on Obama...”Obama has brazenly been lying to the American people.” “I also plan Saturday to thank Dr. Chiyome Fukino for confirming my factual allegation that there was/is an original, typewritten 1961 ‘vault’ COLB that has not been made public and that the true ‘original’ COLB is in official files. That confirmation makes Barack Obama a liar, on the last weekend of the campaign.”
THIS aspect might no longer be in play:
“In a Honolulu news conference on October 22nd Martin disclosed that Frank Marshall Davis was the biological father of Barack Obama, not Barack Obama senior. The Obama campaign has not denied Martin’s claim.”
My take is that the MSM / Lamestream Media is out to suppress the GOP vote.
They are WAAAAAAYYYY overpolling Democraps in their polls, IGNORING factual stories negative for Obama and doing EVERYTHING they can to SMEAR McCain and especially PALIN with their lies.
I think this will blow up in their faces. When GOP voters see the tainted polls slanted to favor Socialist Obama, the GOP fence-sitters will crawl across broken glass to KEEP the Socialist Obama outta the White House !!!
Here in Texas, the first day of Early Voting set ALL TIME records for turnout. ALMOST DOUBLE the old record (up almost 80%) !!!!
Did Obama’s Children Touch the Rings of Death? [Scalding FReeper Rant]

One member of the MLK (Sr) family and close relative of MLK (JR) has come out in support of McCain-Palin.
This is Dr. Alveda King, author of the book Sons of Thunder. The book is about her father, A. D. King, an important figure in the Civil Rights movement, and her uncle Martin -- Martin Luther King, Jr.
There are two threads about this that might influence voters:
MLK Jr Close Relative will not vote/support Obama!!!
The above is a Freerepublic.com thread.
There is also this Philadelphia Bulletin article: Black Leaders Support McCain
The link is: Dr. Alveda King and others support McCain-Palin, not Obama-Biden...
Obama fits the mold of a narcissist, according to experts. You can Google Dr. Sam Vaknin and find the same analysis, or click this link:

However, the following is the most frightening one yet. Maybe because it is more clinical than political
