Later than hoped.

I had to sit, for a while.  Couldn't even go to bed.  I had to cool and calm down.  I finally got a shower and shave.  Plus the cats fed.  I am hoping to get their litter sorted yet tonight.  Not sure that is possible.  So tired, and yet... still... not quite able to even get to bed.  So, I write.

I am considering all things.  A lot on my mind.  The general plan is get the house appraised, and figure out how to dispose of it best.  Animals, to items, vehicles to... else.  I have a rough plan of being out of the house by the spring.  I'll be looking for places to live, for short periods of time, in my vehicle.  Places to camp.

The thing is, in most places, drifters are moved along.  I am nearly considered a drifter here.  "Owning" a home gave me some minor cover.  Drifters are considered pre-criminal.  Even if you try to rent, you might be rolled on out, nicely or less nicely, perhaps permanently.  I would guess, if you knew where to dig, you would find a lot of bums, tramps, and other drifters who just wouldn't take a hint.

It doesn't matter if you create a camping site in a legitimate place or not, the time is ticking as soon as you arrive.  A few days to a few weeks, and they will begin pushing for you to leave.  No matter how clean you keep your site.  Tick-tock, time is running out before you know it.  Best to get before then.  If you start seeing law or rangers, time to pack and go.

It won't be an easy life.  No ac, no heat, and the vehicle only as long as it lasts.  Keeping up on food, alone, will be a trick.  Medicine?  I'm not sure how to even keep up on that.  No addressed residence, no mail?  This won't be a long run.  It's what I've got.

I had thought about LA, or the others.  But, yeah, no.  Those places are for the criminal and some others.  I have some guess, at some point, they will be rounded up.  Once their usefulness at destroying small business and driving the middle and upper lower classes out.  It probably won't be a gentle herding, or a pleasant finality.  Though they may go after drifters everywhere.  A general... removal.  Though, they may just grab every on ebt or drifting, regardless of much else.

I'd prefer to stay in mountainous areas.  Living on more public, but not federal, lands.  Federal land management will eventually drive even interior land owners off, killing any who dare to enter the king's land.  Probably debauching it in ways not even the worst of so-called offenders could imagine.  Removing mountains using Chinese slave labor, for China.  Strip mining everything from ores to trees.

Not sure how soon that will happen, as a common and heavy thing, but it's been happening in small bits and bites, here and there.  Even cattle ranchers are being driven off.  As much to build Chinese solar arrays, or other such tom-foolery.  I wonder how many families have simply been disappeared?

Well, it's a new world.  I guess, for me, the trick is to do what I can, for as long as I can.  Yea, a lot on my mind.  I thank whoever tried to get me a fair hearing.  I can guess.  All I can say is, losing has consequences.  Still, I get the sentiment.  If only it was about the sentiment, not the reality.  Meh.

Good night.
