Hi Folks, I have been reading the posts on ATS for some time. Today I took the plunge and signed up. I live in a very remote area of Nor Cal, my only
connection to the outside world is my satellite internet. Ive never signed up for any site before , except ebay. I get my news and some entertainment
from the web, so i read a lot of other peoples views about everything. Some are good , some make me scratch my head, and some make me happy that Im
way up here with the bears. When i found ATS I thought it seemed a little different than the other sites. There seems to be more conversation not just
snarky comments. I even thought that some of the posts actually sounded like the person knew what they were talking about. So, it can lonely up here,
my wife decided she wanted to be closer to a K-Mart so i wished her well and waved goodbye from the front porch. So now , when i feel that i have
something to say, or want to hear what someone else has to say about a subject i will post on ATS and see what you Folks have to say.
As for me , I bought twenty acres up in these hills of Shasta County, 25 years ago, I ate rice and beans, lived in a tent, grew vegetables and
marijuana. Built a 1300 sq ft house out of lumber milled from the trees on the property. I have solar power, a good well and a dog named Ouch that
has been bear bit, car hit, and struck by lightning but gets fatter every day. I worked hard and saved my money and bought fifty acres that adjoin to
mine. I dont plan on doing anything with it, but no one else will either and thats what i wanted, I rent it to bears for the price of..... stay away
from my garden. I still eat rice and beans, still grow vegetables and marijuana and i have a lot of opinions on things as you folks will learn,,,
