nonaffective psychotic disorder = victimhood as is taught by community organizers

I live in a little town between Napoleon and Manchester. Really more of a village where I can see into the country from right here at the computer. My neighbor behind me is the only one who lives there year round and we don’t bother each other and we help each other out when we can.

My neighbor on the west is better than 200 yards away and lives in Florida for most of the year. The house on the other side is closer but he only stays a few days every so often. In front is the lake.

I get off and wander the state land all around here a couple times per month.

Seems like Sweden conducted a study to better understand their ethnic minorities...

Saami and others close to their indigenous beasts.

Lucky lucky you. Before he moved, a friend of mine had a lovely house in the country. I loved the drive over there and enjoyed the drive back. Fantastic route and I savored every minute of it.

There is a commendable lack of psychiatrists in rural areas, so if you are crazy you’ll never get diagnosed. You may even get elected to Congress.

LOL!!

Oh, that’s true.

We’ve had neighbors who had a condos in the big city, mainly because the wives and kids would get stupid bored in the hinterlands. Something about ‘no malls out here’.

I say they weren’t imaginative enough.

It may sound hippie-ish but there is a stark beauty in silence. Step outside at 3 AM in a heavy snowfall and its so quiet you can literally hear the snow fallin on the ground.

I wonder how many city slickers have stood on a lake under the moonlight of a bitterly cold night and listened to the booming and singing of the ice. Pure awesomeness.

Amen brother.

I love the foggy autumn mornings without a soul around.

That my friend is beautiful.

I heard the snow fall last winter ( first real snow since I moved out 'here' ) Also get to do fun things on a friday night like this:

A siren call to take one more step, one more step.

No, it is not a hippy notion, IMO. I know exactly what you mean. We lived in a busy suburban area prior to retiring here to a semi-rural area. I just love it here. When my children visit from the Baltimore area, I remind them to listen to the silence as we are sitting outside. I cherish the quiet and the wonderful views of the stars.

“I view great cities as pestilential to the morals, the health and the liberties of man. True, they nourish some of the elegant arts; but the useful ones can thrive elsewhere; and less perfection in the others, with more health, virtue and freedom, would be my choice.”

I few years back a girlfriend from Toronto came and spent a couple weeks with her daughter. They both thought it was creepy like living in a deserted town.
