Some thoughts.

Being shut down, more now for the summer, I like to think about things to do... or dream of doing... in other parts of the year.  Still, having done better this spring.  And even not doing so badly this summer?  I am thinking there might be a better chance as things cool again this late summer and into fall.  So, when a video pops, that seems interesting?  I view it.

This next one, before watching, I negged.  Heavily.  But, then, I... realized... some things.  First.  I may never be able to get out and go camping, and hiking, like I dream of doing.  This, perhaps, I could do.  More, he IS getting out, and doing something.  I am not.  Oh, well, and other things.  So, I... watched and listened.  Oh, I... would know what to take.  And I have anything I might need or want.  But it was more getting into the mood, thinking about where to go, locally and maybe a bit further along, in state and out.  I won't go to, say, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, certainly not along the coasts.  There are places I won't go.  Politics, and more, what politics has done to their laws, their people, and their worlds.  Go if you please.  Enjoy if you can.  I won't go.

But, there are plenty of places to go.  Both closer and further.  Idaho, Montana, perhaps even Arizona.  Wyoming too, maybe?  I'd have to review Wyoming, see if it has become what the Cheney woman presents, or if she is a flaw.  Then again, we have Romney.  Though, too, I... don't completely trust Utah.  And there are places I wouldn't go.  If that is true for almost any state.  Check up on, say, the sheriff, and others, in the area you are considering.  Democrat?  Stay out.  There is corruption potential for any sheriff or police force.  But if they are Democrat, they are based on corruption.  And being a Democrat won't even save you from it, unless your part of Joe's posse.  It's a dangerous world out there, no reason to reduce your odds at a better outcome.

Oh, and something else I watched?  Initially I thought it was just a funny thing.  And, while it still is, it also isn't?  I can see the practicality of this.  They sit that way for a... number of reasons.  Some of it is from a lack of chairs.  Some of it, though, is in order the to a bm in a hole with some accuracy.  Among other reasons.  Not laughing, just saying.  And, should one find oneself in Rome?  Do as the Cambodians?  Or... well, you know what I mean.  If you want to become more than just a foreigner with money?  Become similar.  Learn the language.  Eat their food.  If they are humble, become humble.  Resemble them, and their virtues.

No, not really sure about Cambodia.  The travel there is crazy long.  Though, I haven't looked at boat passage, on a freighter or such.  Not even sure that is a possibility at this time.  A bit early to begin looking for such, too.  Then again, I suppose a bit of peaking and poking around the net wouldn't hurt.  Then again, again, a freighter would be far from a direct link.  Just food alone might make the cost much higher?  Unless, of course, there was a direct shipping, for some reason or other?

But, by flight, the quickest I saw was in the thirty six hour range?  Forty six?  The longest was, like, fifty nine hours?  I would, if I could, fly somewhere, do a day stay, then hit it again, a few times.  That much flight would be brutal, especially with, say, four to seven connecting flights?  Grueling, even for a healthy kid.  I'd even not mind taking a week to get there, just flying no more than, say, twelve to sixteen hours a day, with a day or two between flights.  Tricky to find places to stop over which allow non-vaccinated.  Though, in a few to six months, or a year, perhaps that will be over?

Oh, and I will take the advice I gave the so-and-whositz who visited my dream.  I will figure out ways out of the country, and arrange for a few of those.  As well, have ideas where to to to get out, in a variety of ways.  This border, that shipping port, these airports, sea pilots, and such.  I will have contacts, connections, and vested interests.  Just, understand, that is my nature.  I don't mind dying.  I don't wish to die for stupid reasons.  Worst case scenario, disappearing in with the interior people.  Governments have learned to leave some people alone.  You can't push on sheep in the valley the way you push on sheep used to living in tight pens, packed in.  Being armed isn't much when facing a whole region of people.  Especially if they have a teacher.  Even slingshots, bows, spears, are more than a modern army can handle, if done rightly.

An item I recently put together, while working upstairs, would be perfect for practicing this.  I have been meaning to use it, but wasn't sure... how... what... to do with it, on it, using it.  Now I have some ideas.  As well?  This squatting would make camping and hiking easier.  Not just for pooping in a small hole, but also just for lounging without chairs.  Even resting, on the trails... perhaps even with the pack on?  Not sure about that, but certainly with it off for a bit.

Still.  Who knows.  I'll begin exploring the sale of the place again Monday.  I have grave doubts the price will be agreed upon, a price I would accept.  But... who knows.  People are still trickling out of everywhere from NYC, to Cali, to Ill, and other places.  The really rich wouldn't even consider my place, for a thousand and one reasons.  The middle class, maybe.  And... even at what I ask?  If they sold up, on a place, there?  They might well have four or five times what I am asking, just burning a hole in their bank accounts.  Not that they would be all that willing to part with any of it, if they didn't have to.  But...  There are still some trying to find a better place.  If the investors don't bite, I may list.  Or... ask about that.  Though if the world is cooling too much, realty... I could consider cleaning up and renting it out.  That would be a lesser way, but a way.  Enough to pay the mortgage and bank some, for expenses.  It wouldn't be a money-maker.  It just wouldn't be.  Or would it?  As long as they don't steal from landowners, again, by denying rent payments.  The SC nixed that, but they seem to still do it, in some places.  Not sure the SC has any real affect on some things, or in some states, save when it is toward the bad.

Hmm?  Oh, it's about bedtime.  Goodnight.
