Ain't life grand.... Got spend it doing something even its setting in the house in a rocking chair.

Since 2009, Lee Crafton, or Lee Horselogger as he prefers to be called, has been traveling across the country in a horse-drawn carriage, and now he's on his fifth trip.
His journey started in 2006 when he lost his ranch in East Glacier, Montana after 27 years and dropped out of his Ph.D. program. Lee took his life savings of $75 and a couple of horses and decided to explore the nation, traveling at just three miles an hour.
Needless to say, Lee is not your typical 63-year-old.
But one year prior to his career change, Lee was diagnosed with Lymphoma at age 48 and had a tumor growing in his neck. Weary of chemotherapy, he opted for more naturopathic herbal treatments. Believe it or not, his tumor started to shrink and his cancer was gone.
His cancer diagnosis ultimately served as a wake up call, reminding him of his humanity and what he wanted to do with his remaining time.
'If you're unhappy and you're under stress, you're not going to get well,' he told the Seattle Times in 2009. 'What the cancer did is it kicked me in the ass,' he says. 'About all I can say is it woke me up. It got me doing things I should have done years ago.'
In 2009, Lee had a 50-foot-long horse team and wagon. Today, he has one horse left named Jessie, who travels at 3mph.
But what motivates this horseman? As he told local ABC affiliate WPBF - why not?
**SNIP**
Despite not having any money and only enough food for his horse, Lee did not get discouraged and instead raised money for the materials to make a new carriage with the help of a GoFundMe and selling his own merchandise.

Heh. Thought the same thing
Genetics do play a role in how strong your immune system and organs are, but fundamentally, most disease is because of a lack of proper nutrition.
Tell that to the victims of Teh Clotshot.
How does planned murder by the state change what I said?
Even the fact that most people processed the shot without dying kind of underscores my statement. Perhaps those who died from the clot shot died because they were lacking nutrition where it made them vulnerable?
that’s some really rotten hay in the picture: hay like that will kill a horse ...
$75 dollar life savings?
Ok...for someone who has reason to believe that the end is near for him/her I don’t have a problem with them saying “bleep it,I’m just gonna spend my time checking off things on my bucket list”.
Ain't life grand.... Got spend it doing something even its setting in the house in a rocking chair.
“dropped out of his Ph.D. program. Lee took his life savings of $75”
...wonder what his PH.D was in? He must’ve dropped out because he knew it wouldn’t increase his “life savings of $75”.
Apparently he ate all his other horses... 50 foot horse team down to one.
Actor Dirk Benedict (Battlestar Galactica, A-Team) was diagnosed with a prostate tumor back in the 1970s. He went on a macrobiotic diet and reversed it.
In some regards, what you are eating has less effect on your health than what’s eating YOU!
He said he has been seeking the secret meaning of life.
I think the secret is there is no secret. Life is what it is.

The horses in the picture look to be in great shape. Horses need jobs and sitting in a pasture eating grass all day is not a job. Good for him, he’s doing what he wants to do. He’s living a better life than most.
He’s running from Big Pharma
Wow
If you spend your life savings in order to save your ranch then ultimately lose it, It's not surprising that's all he had left.
PhD programs cost money too...
It appears he eats well.
