I'm moving to the Northwest Territories and dumping the internet, maybe electricity too



Maybe you can stand this stuff for 4-8 years.

See, this is why I gave up tv. I just didn't realize it then. Is that an official campaign ad, and how often are people getting stuck with watching it? Maybe there's hope the gag reflex will kick in.

E, you live way the heck up in Maine. What's going to be different about the Northwest?
If you do leave, can I rent your house? Blueberries and moose are looking awfully good right now.

Wow.

That's instructive.

Question, if our country only makes a few of its people happy, then why do people come here from all over the world to live?

To be fair to Obama, this video is not his doing.

However, his Messianic behavior does inspire this kind of insipid devotion.

Actually rra, we comment all the time now that the 'crowd level' in Bangor is now just exactly where Manchester NH (where we lived 1975-2005) was in the 90's. At that time we had the place up here as a summer joint and our road had maybe 20 homes about half of which were farms from the 19th century.

There is now NO SPACE.

To protect the lake no building is allowed if a house is not there now, but in total there are maybe 30-40 homes on a perimeter of about 12 miles, so that's ok.

But where this was rural farm country and cabins, it's now TOTALLY exurban-suburban

BTW, RRA..we will be in Marblehead starting tonight until weds AM ..aren't you down there?

If so email me

Epa, better hurry. The land rush is already on. Out of the way homesteads are being bought up by survivalists.

Epam, how do I find your email? I have to work Saturday 11 to 6 but I will be off all day Sunday. Where in Marblehead are you staying ("downtown", near the Salem or Swampscott line, ??). I live downtown near Green St.
