It hasn't been this way for most of my life. But this is how I re-charge the batteries, so to speak. I've got to be ready for the fight to come, leading up to November -- and, of course, beyond that. I was fortunate in that extended family had inhabited this place back when I was young, and I loved its history. So when it came up for sale, I was able to buy it.

The previous owner was a law enforcement officer who lost his job for brutally assaulting "suspects" who had other than white skin. He did some damage to the house, shooting it up, but did leave the transcript of his trial in a closet upstairs. I don't think he really fit in on this land & house. Sort of the "odd man out" among those who lived here since the mid-1790s.
