Looks like a large home-made rocket stove.

Any recent electoral map would be a good lesson. Cities elect democrat presidents and control elections. This would not be a democrat run country without large cities. ALL major cities went democrat in recent elections for Obola.

I do not have the data, nor want to bother looking it up, but I'd bet that the vast majority of violent and petty crime is also concentrated in large cities.

I am thrilled that there are FReepers that like living in what would be to many of us an anthill of strange people, but ya'll are really touchy that some of us get the creeps at the idea of even passing through one.

I certainly am not getting touchy about it.

Everyone is different.

I just like cities.

Beautiful, and draws back memories! Parents retired to that area when I started high school. Dad wanted hunting & fishing, she wanted golf. Early 70s plenty of former but less than 10 golf courses even counting Hilton Head. They were very happy there for 20+ years till they needed to be closer to us kids. They are now buried at Beaufort National Cemetery but the area has become a retirement ‘mecca’ and there are now over 50 golf courses in the single county!

I live in the south and have lived in the low country of South Carolina before, where my wife’s from. Knowing folks down here, somebody probably made the cylindrical heater to warm people up sitting around outside. It’s more than likely homemade. Something my wife’s second cousin, JW, might make.

My wife and I retired to the country in the south to get out of the big metropolitan city we lived in in Phoenix. To get away from the traffic, congestion, crime, fast pace. Southern living is great. Slow and easy going.

But I once asked my wife when we first got married 40 years ago, when we went to visit her parents in the lowcountry, Pawleys Island, SC, why everyone moved so slow. She said that with the heat and humidity in the summer, you would "die" if you moved too fast. After living here, nothing could be truer. I do miss the dry heat of Arizona.

After 30+ years in the BG city I’ve recently relocated back to the rural W TN of my youth. Thus far I’ve learned that there are two kinds of people around here ... Those that are heard out hunting and those who are just returning from hunting.

“Heard” = “headed” (I despise not-so-smart phones)

I have been going to Pawleys Island since 1967 and the changes to the area over that time has made it much less desirable. The development, traffic, commercialization and invasion from the north has ruined the tranquility that once was the norm. We still go there but only in the “off seasons” of October through April. Georgetown and Brookgreen Gardens are our two favorite places...

I started going to Pawleys Island in 1974 when my wife and I met in the Air Force. My wife was raised there. We've visited every year since, sometimes twice a year. Her mom still lives there and we will get her home when she passes, so I'm sure we will continue to go there, at least for the beach.

We also lament the loss of the old Pawleys as "progress" has overtaken it. It is now just another modern tourist trap along the Atlantic coast. There are still a few old, original dwellings on the island but most are newly-built and have lost the charm. Old Pawleys was "Arrogantly Shabby". Today's Pawleys is "Show Me The Money", flaunting the wealth.

Like I said, we will still visit Pawleys Island, especially for the beach. But sadly, the original ambiance is forever gone.

Check with your local redneck welder and scrapyard!
And check if any airline missing an engine!
