Game 52: Tigers (Rodriguez) at Yankees (Cole)

I had planned to announce my retirement from the forum upon my 30,000th post. It’s just time.

Then I changed my mind. We’ll still have internet, from what I understand, so I can go back to computer posting. It may reduce my game a bit, maybe not. The lifestyle there is an important medicine for me.

I’ll most likely have to shutter my business, or might find another solar company to sell leads for. I’m considering attempting to do something with Biotekt, the company that builds the houses, but I fear the commitment they would want would be too severe.

If I can adjust our budget, full retirement coukd be in reach, but I’m not so sure I can pull that off. Plus, I do like getting out. But with gasoline prices what they are, the profitability of door to door sales is becoming so poor…

No, there is not much chance I’ll be leaving the forum. I’ll likely withdraw from game threads, but I didn’t do them for many years…

BTW: The lifestyle?
Dark skies community
Very little traffic
Deer tracks in the yard
Elk tracks in the yard
Quiet. So quiet.
Seldom hits 90 degrees in summer.
Most of the 8 feet of snow there falls in spring/autumn. Even the winter snow doesn’t last at average 40 degrees with plenty of sunshine.
Little traffic
Dirt/gravel roads
One poverty stricken town nearby w/grocery store
One very pretty little mountain community nearby
Our favorite Mexican Restaurant about 20 minutes away (Whoever thought I’d have a favorite Mexican Restaurant?)

Less dust, less wind, less crime, way less traffic.
I’m quite excited by the whole thing, along with this alternative build that will actually put us within the arms of nature, she who is the closest I know to god…
