See
this? It's a stripped down kitchen waiting for The Destroyers (whom are now
arrived). We're undergoing Do-Over II (the last was 25 years ago)
ostensibly to make selling the place easier. In fact I suspect
it's because MoSup hated the cabinets. At any rate, what a royal
pain-in-the-ass for the next 10 days (promised). No access to
running water (except the bathroom sink), or oven, or stove top.
This is the third text I've writ for this post, the previous two zapped
by turned off circuit breakers.
A meteor strike would have been a blessing. Really. We could take
the
insurance money and move to Bermuda. Well, no. When we do
overcome inertia and sell; there begins the
discussions
about where we move to? My choice really is Bermuda. Or one
of those South American countries where all the retired postal
workers move to, and live like kings. Her choice is
someplace within a 20 minute ride to the kids. The thought
of selling a house in this socialist pisshole, only to stay here,
has my sack all shriveled, and teeth itching. Even worse is what comes
next, after I post this. Reading the latest news about
the Obamacy, and finding the bastids still doing what they
do. (Versions
one and two of this post were much better, and more sanguine).

The "discussions" will continue until morale improves.
ReplyDeleteOne could only hope......
Sir H the (been there and renovated that) Comet
Dick, you must be in moonshine country.

How about the West Virginia panhandle? I know the DC workers have discovered it and at the state level there are a disgusting load of Donks, but they are mostly of the old fashioned sort that just want your money, not your life.
ReplyDeleteFunny you should mention it , but I ordered 6 gallons of moonshine from a fellow from Front Royal today ! My buddy that lives in West Virginia was bitching at work this morning about all the newbies that have moved in , and taken over . He made an Oxy - acetylene noise maker for the 4th of july , and the newbies called the PO-PO ! They showed up , and searched his yard (GOOD NOISE MAKER) , and everything ! It's getting so a white man can't have any fun . WTF ? ; ) > SMIBSID
ReplyDeleteYeah... tell me about it. We started that about 15 years ago. Not just a kitchen -- the whole magilla. [The Mister is a builder, yanno] Still "in progress" ...
ReplyDeleteYa get used to it after a while. Accommodations are made...
The waterless shower stores the vacuum real well. The porch is kept from leaving by the stone tiles in boxes for the floor... The thought of cooking in something larger than a nook gives me the agorophobic hebbie-jeebies...
I better not sign this...
[that is IF I can read "the words" and get it posted ...]
SMIB, when I traverse your gridsquare, I'm going to need some of that shit. Don't drink it all.

Very happy down here in Mexico. Safer than most parts of the US, despite what you hear on the news, unless you want to sell heroin or smuggle marijuana. Live much better than in the US for much less--there are a LOT of Social Security refugees down here, there are numerous Gringo colonies down here that you can stay in, although many people eventually move out into the general population. And the people are generally much better than in the US, nicer, more polite, more honest, although of course there are exceptions. The kids are much better behaved. MUCH. BETTER. Not that hard to get started on the language, though any language is very difficult to get good at. Many folks just stay in the Gringo colonies and never need to learn Spanish, especially in the North, because so many Mexicans have learned at least some English.
ReplyDeleteGreat adventure. Great food, great people, great scenery, your dollar will stretch further, and really, much safer than many parts of the US.
Only problem is that you have to jump through a big bunch of hoops to own a firearm legally, and illegal possession can get you in big (expensive) trouble, though generally a few thousand dollars will get you thrown out of the country rather than put in prison.

ReplyDeleteI'd know you anywhere - :)
Casca - Fluvanna County (from the Huguenot name "Fleuve Anne" for the river through it) might have some shiners, but all I've seen is farms and woods and two small towns. There is a yuppie enclave right on the Charlottesville border, but we don't count them if we can help it.
