We love telling libtards how excruciatingly hot it is here in Texas, particularly in summer when school is out. For you Coloradans, try these angles: “It gets so cold here at night that things can be frozen here for days. Just like living in a freezer.” or “The altitude is such that you’ll get sunburn before you know it. You won’t be able to do any running or jogging until your lungs are acclimated and that takes years.”

Sat whatever it takes to keep these loons from moving out where you live. Your local government may just depend upon it.

Tell’em it’s so cold in your house you had to open the refrigerator to heat up the joint. See if they buy that one.

“We’re on version 14 of the garden hutch,”

Who goes through 14 versions for a tool shed? Four walls and a door is too complicated for some.

The author is just as dumb writing about trees in the caption of tomatoes. All those folks need are pasta trees for a spaghetti dinner.

Spaghetti doesn’t grow on trees, it grows on bushes. Everybody knows that!

Yes, it is funny.

What with Al Gore’s Amazing Internet, one would think these folks would have everything figured out by now. After all, just about everything a person needs to know about home upkeep is on YouTube. I’m sure there’s even a video about how to use a Post Office box.

I’m starting to believe that 81 million people voted for SloJo.

I moved to Colorado in the 90’s. Many ways to fool out-of-staters especially those who want to live in the mountains. You have a well that takes forever to fill? Fill it up before you show the house to the new buyer. Also don’t mention the septic tank is ripe for replacement, they’ll need to buy an old 4WD with a plow to get out of the driveway in the winter, and they’ll need bear-proof trash cans. All part of the intangible joys of living an “authentic” Colorado lifestyle.

Patrick McManus wrote a humorous story about farming. In this story, McManus goes to his doctor hoping to get a prescription for sleeping pills for himself. The doctor refuses to prescribe pills (yeah, it is fiction) and instead advises McManus to try relaxing for sleep by imagining himself working on a nice little farm in the country. It seems to work at first but McManus has a problem: he actually lived on a real farm while growing up. Soon his imaginary farm goes from idyllic to realistic as he envisions storms, droughts, broken fences, wandering animals and crop failures. In the end he recommends imaginary farms only to those who have never actually lived on one.

I rented an old cottage on a farm in rural New Jersey years ago. It was great.

Of course every year it seemed more and more new homes were being built for people leaving the city to come live out in the country. And more and more complaints - usually about the smells coming from some of the farms, sometimes the roosters.
