Man...if those dago builders fck up this whole Walden groove I got going on it's going to be a disaster. They already ruined the sky. South is garbage. The rest is maybe Bortle 4 - which is like suburbs, not hinterlands like we were. I am a witness to the carnage every single day. I'm a foot soldier in the holocaust, a willing participant; but I do so under duress.

I feel your pain.  Despite the claim that our population is decreasing this whole area is building up.  Parents die, the kids would rather have cash than the farm, some developer buys it, here come the Mc mansions. It's happening at the river, it's happening in the holler, all over the county. 

I have maybe one more move left in me, is it worth the hassle just to once again be chased by the mob?

Every nice place in Michigan is like that. It ruins everything. Just more traffic, more junk, more trash.

I have 7 acres. I used to own 30 acres next door too. It was nice - big stocked pond, metal pole barn with concrete and utilities, 100 or so apple trees, 22 of it being farmed which covered the taxes. Selling that land is my biggest - maybe only- regret. My daughter was a baby, I wasn't making shit - it was during that 'mortgage meltdown' or whatever it was. Anyhow, there was no work and I freaked out. That land could have saved me and a couple of my neighbors plus funded my retirement.  Hopefully 7 acres is enough to keep people at a distance.

300 acres would not be enough.  They are coming for us both, stop signs, low speed limits, cameras, street lights, .....

I'm not moving. I have an ideal set-up. I'm going to plant more trees. Willows, poplars...they grow 10 ft a year. Also landmines.

I'm starting to think Trump's gone too far with his self-aggrandizement. I thought it was just to piss people off but all the crazy shit - Gulf of America, Department of War, Greenland, Canada, the Arch, the cage fight, the Kennedy Center, the ballroom.... That shit detracts from the somber but necessary business of deporting blacks, muslims and Latinos, which has been of great service to the nation. Also blowing up drug boats and killing terrorists, seizing Venezuela's oil... that was all good.

Cheap and legal reefer was a great start. Now if we could bring back that pandemic paradigm where they were giving us Medicare, food cards, an income and there was no traffic...we'd really be hitting utopian levels.

I'm wondering why that new bridge to Canada down in Detroit isn't opening yet. At face value, it would appear that Trump has taken favor to the private billionaire owner of the competing Ambassador Bridge down the road. In a perfect system, that bridge would be seized and nationalized. It is absurd that a  bridge over an international crossing is privately owned. That's like a national security thing.
