My Grandmother was born in a sod house in the Dakotas.
I doubt that it was this green.
This is a small turf house in Iceland.
Beautiful…..in its own way
Listen to these guys….from the “Band Geeks Podcast” on YouTube.
Man….pretty cool.
These guys are having so much fun.
All the covers they do are pretty darn accomplished, too.
Good stuff!
Pretty interesting and not really all that surprising.
You can get a lot for your money if you invest some time and effort and buy your materials carefully.
Of course, I suspect that the “8,000” doesn’t cover the riverfront lot.
But…you can have a simple and nice place for a small amount of cash if you work at it.
This looks like a fun place.
Nice.
What’s the sound that Homer Simpson makes?
Dohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?
I had a simple and quick post yesterday for my birthday, and, for some reason, it didn’t get posted.
So…..that’s (for the folks who are keeping track) 3 posts out of over a thousand that I’ve missed.
A post a day can be kind of a ridiculous goal….but I do it to try and stay consistent.
It’s a house of cards in a windy room for me to stay consistent with any of this stuff.
So….a missed day because a button isn’t pushed….or because I didn’t watch the computer to it’s attempted conclusion….is kind of a drag.
To me.
It’s a drag to me.
I don’t think that anybody else notices.
I had a really nice birthday…..tacos and a chocolate cake with a boiled fudge frosting. (Boiled fudge! That’s not easy to do and is pretty delicious.)
I like the low key birthdays.
Even if it means missing a post.
Hey!
It’s my birthday!
What’s going to happen next?!
It poured yesterday.
Drenching.
And, it was on the “coolish side”, probably in the 60’s, so ,when I got wet, I got chilly.
Awwwwwwwwww.
That’s what delivering the mail is all about…..snow and sleet and rain, etc.
I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to say the phrase, “our first sail on our new yacht.”
That would be crazy to be able to say that.
When I’m in a cold Spring mail run day, I think it would be nice to be cruising out in the Caribbean.
Yesterday, I was just trying to push through to the end, but, this morning, I’m watching a video about sailing around and it all looks pretty good.
Where I am is good.
I have a great life with my family.
I think that it would be fun to do some sailing.
I’ll add that to my list.
If you’re going to be an Ebay seller of used merchandise, where are you going to get your stock?
Thrift stores, of course!
Man.
I hate that mentality.
We don’t buy to flip.
We buy to use…and, at this point, we only buy what we use.
We don’t always buy what we want, although we still do some of that if the opportunity is too good to pass up.
We buy what we use.
We find less of what we could use….use personally…..because we’re in “competition” with the people who are only buying for resale.
But, I guess that’s their business.
What we find we consider blessings.
We don’t stem the flow of “blessings” by attaching them to a business.
There is a big business in reselling what is found in thrift stores.
With smart phones and always available internet access, it’s easier than ever to instantly research a potential purchase.
It’s distasteful….only because it creates competition with people who have no intention of using an item personally.
Awwww….it’s just sour grapes on my part.
Selling used clothing is still more environmentally friendly than producing and selling new stuff.
It just bothers me that all these dealers are taking useful and affordable stuff and jacking up the price on Ebay.
Dealers are my nemesis.
Greedy dealers.
Filthy lucre.
