Yes, Ron Paul is bad.

169. Peace Out.

We chose to move here from Minneapolis.
We DO miss the crowds, the Coffee Shops, The Movies, The Political Rallies (we both worked on the Wellstone Campaign),
The Labor Day UNION Picnic, The Theater, Independent Bookstores, The Bicycle Commuter Ways, The Opera, and ALL the other possibilities offered by a Large Northern City.

We haven't been out to Movie or anything else since 2006,
and supplemental income is a big but not insurmountable problem.
We know some entrepreneurs who are "picking" antiques and junk, and ARE making a living on Ebay.
Other artists, and there are many out here, ship their stuff to several shows per year, and pick up income.
Others telecommute, but they had established careers BEFORE moving out here.

We decided that investing our Sweat into rebuilding an abandoned property
and turning it into a ready-made Organic Retirement Refuge would be more valuable than working in Minneapolis.
We are happy with our choice,
but this would be more difficult if I were 30 years younger.
