[geeks] today's adventure

Thats the problem with heavy suburbanization. In order to get some nature
you have to commute too far.

I grew up in a small quiet town in Mass that now resembles suburban Boston.
The horse farms, lumber mill, forrests are all gone now. If I were to work
in Mass and live in the country I would have to commute 2 hours. I feel much
blessed to work and live in the country. I pray daily that my job will be
around for awhile.

~ eventually we woke up today for the third time (it was an icky rainy
~ morning here and the cat was afraid of thunder so she was facehugging
~ again) and decided to go exploring into the hill country.
~ 
~ see, i've been looking around for property to possibly build 
~ a house (as
~ opposed to remodel this one) and i came across some acreage. 
~ problem is,
~ the directions they gave were less than explicit, especially on the
~ how-far-outside-of-town part.
~ 
~ 45 miles, an hour and a half drive, probably more in rush 
~ hour one-way.
~ 
~ admittedly, the property was stunning. hills, views, creeks, 
~ springs, and
~ curved roads, small rivers, lake views, and trees. my kind of
~ property--lots of variety.
~ 
~ and i even saw my first sheep. at least, i think it was a 
~ sheep. i've lost
~ my glasses again and from a distance they looked like fluffy whiteish
~ blobs. i also saw my first vulture, lots of fat big macs and a few
~ horses.
