28. That sounds like a plan

A friend who bought a farm in Tennessee, who had been in finance told me to try to get a spring head on your property if you can. Mine has creek. Spring head is across the street. Keeping eye on that land owner. Doent mean i have money to buy if they sell, but i can still try to plan.

Maybe your background, and family history was creating a leaning, and then circumstances are creating a reason to consider it more fully now. ?!

I know i dont really have the conditioning or stamina to run a farm at the moment. But, my uncle still farms, is around the corner, there, and one cousin took it up nearby. He's learning as he goes and asking my uncle.

If you have a desire, and some practice from childhood, and some patience it would come along.

Your father was smart to think that way about his career. In Maslow's hierarchy of needs, food is first.

Angela's Ashes is also very funny. Laugh out loud kind. Brillant writing. The tragedy of Irish poverty in depression era. The united states too.
