Eldon is so much bigger now! like, wow. and smart as a whip. Kid has more street smarts than guys 4x his age. Georgia was fun, i had a great time spending time with you to hun, it's great to reconnect! Where you are living sounds like a great place. good food so close and personal is just awesome.

"I think I want to live on a farm but have other people do the actual farming." This is a tentative goal of mine actually, or at least i feel the same way. I was wanting to get something built then find someone to farm it for me/us lol. like either share it or turn enough into profit to pay them. I don't want to do the farming. grew up doing it and know the work. traveling, seeing people live well, and nearly any creative pursuit, are my greatest passions i feel. farming full time doesn't achieve that for me. i have also learned where and when to trust most people and food is just one of those places that is hard to trust these days. So i'm a little torn i suppose. I'm also contemplating deeply recently the issue of money for food, our dependence to that and what that dependence has done to increase the imbalance of food in the world.

Meant what I said about how you write. You're a great author. Hold confidence high and if you're wavering on it, hit me up... cause i actually believe it. you're going somewhere great with it. so it wont be hard for me to let you know that if your confidence ever wavers.

i share your affinity for outlaws. And the outlaw lifestyle. (I will carry that spirit till i die.) especially ones that are actually doing something good behind the scenes. i'm assuming this is where the rogue character is going so i like his place in it all so far. laws are made up. life is here. I'm taking less risks i suppose as i age but know (way past believe) so strongly in freedom that i just see through to much shit these days. to be in or around that life takes real grit and the ability to stand as you are without give. I've yet to meet a partner with enough grit to take it, or a compromised version of it lol. I've seen the bad side of course, but i've always found people to have much more integrity when there at least part outlaw.

Thanks for cheering us on! I've got pompoms for your work and presence here too! Thanks for the warm words too. I'm a passionate person and a warm set of words is often melting.
