Thanks. It's hard to gauge to what extent your senses (and mine) are
shared by others. Most folks I have known make episodic (and
sometimes frequent) forays across the border into the other world,
whether they live in conurban environments or rural, but most also
seem to be content with living where they do.

if i had the balls or ability,
i'd do similarly and find my way to the nc mountains

One COULD boast of balls and ability.....but that would be
disingenuous. The truth is that, as has always been the case when
I've willingly made a lifestyle change, this was the result of a
simple convergence of opportunity and a lack of compelling reasons to
decline.


...til then, i'll
enjoy your notes from coulee country.

Well, that's one vote pro and (thus far) zero con. The ayes, for the
time being, have it.

Congratulations. It all sounds like this move will put you in a place
closer to where you want to be. It's a possibility that I believe many
of our ilk (Sportsmen, enviros, agropups etc) entertain but don't get
to experience. Not a day goes by that I don't mentally extend my own
farm groupie stays to full time, in my mind at least. Good luck

I'm trying to visualize something that would put me closer
yet.....nothing has come to mind.

Reification. According to Wikipedia; "fallacy of treating an
abstraction as if it were a real thing." A good enough definition.
I've also heard it referred to as the process by which something is
perceived as being real simply by virtue of the fact that it has been
given a name. And so it is with "luck", good or bad. People often
describe themselves, or others, as having one or the other in greater
or lesser amounts. In fact, luck isn't anything at all. There is no
predictive value legitimately associated with the term. It is, at
best, a shorthand description of what has happened to someone thus
far.

All that said, the shorthand description of my life thus far is "good
luck".....and I hope that you will soon be able to say the same.
