View Full Version : Priorities
I spent the weekend in the Back of Nowhere, Vermont. We camped by a rustic house in a wildflower meadow where there were blueberries and raspberries for the picking. Butterflies soared around us, and we watched a hummingbird buzz among the flowers. The meadow was surrounded by deep, dark, cool woods, and down the slope was a small pond, too cold for my tastes, but perfect for dog swimming, according to the Puppies O' Thunder. Saturday night was so clear that stars looked thick and close enough to touch. We sat under the leading edge of the Pleiades meteor shower and saw some dozen or more falling stars.
And there was quiet, a perfect stillness broken only by the hum of the bees and the cries of the birds. I turned to my deliciously geeky beloved at one point and mused "Wouldn't you love to live some place like this?"
He paused a moment to drink in the beauty and replied "Well, but, you can't get broadband out here."
"Well, but, you can't get broadband out here."
that was the first thing i thought of when i read the first paragraph. that and you cant get any kind of good beer up there because vermont has some stupid laws.

Ha, so I'm speaking to another geek, huh? How often do you really need broadband? You go to a wireless hot spot once or twice a week and download the videos and music you want. *shurg*
I haven't run into any problems with beer in Vermont because I'm always bringing a cooler full from New York. They have a beer store here that makes me want to genuflect before I start down the aisles.

I appreciate both points of view. It all comes down to priorities. Well titled.
If you have at least most of what is important nearby(ie. your geeky love, your dogs, beer, peppers etc.) then the internet becomes less important. But if the internet is your love....(either by replacing real relationships through sites like this one or sites of.....ill repute..AHEM) then you will not be comfortable in such a rustic setting and will crave your high speed love. Anyways...

"The glory that us oneness...."
I am trying to follow you. Are you eating some more of that fungus? That sounds like shroom talk.
Anyways I agree. Part of me would like to be a farmer. Not a modern farmer with all kinds of automation, but the old fashioned kind. Then I think, Nah. Too early, too much work, you have to butcher animals, etc.

Yabut, how often do you really need all that speed. No...no how often do you want that speed, how often do you really need it? You can do email, Usenet, and even this graphic rich web site on dial-up just fine.
So, me, I'd go with living in the back of nowhere. Just, you know, not in Vermont because I'm a great big whining cold wimp. I like South Carolina's long growing season and mild winters. I like ourr version of snow, where the schools all close at the first flake and everyone rushes out to buy milk and toilet paper, and by noon the next day all the snow has melted.
Vermont is gorgeous in the summer, though, and a nice escape from the heat wave afflicting Sout Carolina right now. Why I had to put on a jacket Saturday night!

Are you all speaking a foriegn language?
I thought we had it great here climate wise,(Kentucky) The winters usually provide 5-8 good snow falls, the summers are usually not above 90, good even growing condition, and a nice change from summer to fall to winter etc.(ie. changeing leaves etc.) but lately we have had minor droughts every year, very little snow, and now it is over 100 and will be all week. My peppers are loving it, but I am not so sure. Coupled with the humidity here 100 is miserable. It's not a dry heat like you get in Phoenix or San Diego.

Seeing as how you're from Kentucky, yeah, we probably are.

Man...just reading this thread makes me want to pack up all my shit RIGHT NOW and head on out towards Albuquerque.
My plan is to wait for my daughter to graduate h.s.(2 years), then head out to Abq, NM. Then, my plan is to go about an hour or so outside of the city(into the middle of nowhere) and purchase a large parcel of ranch land, build me a little place of my own(with a huge shop, of course), and remove myself from civilization for the most part.

faster is always better.
whenever friends want to send me stuff it downloads in a hurry (provided they are using a good upload). say good bye to youtube if you get dial up.
sure, you may be able to use this site fine, but go to that thread where chuck is bragging about chugging the cave creek beer, and load that with dialup. you can go eat dinner and come back, wait 20 minutes, and then post on that post. sure, that isnt the norm.
i couldnt do without high speed. id like to live in the middle of nowhere, but i think portland maine would be just fine with me.. that way i could have good beer, cold weather, and high speed internet.

they arent all 410 dollars. what did you do, look at the ostrich ones? haha
i have a pair of joes PH under the safari boots section. very comfortable, have worn them for 3-4 years so far, and they are about ready for new soles. the boot is still in great condition, and i wore them in snow, rain, ice, sleet, etc. they even do ok in the summer because they have a canvas top on them so your feet can breathe better.
they draw your feet and make the shoes to your individual feet, and dont buy them in standard sizes even though some are offered that way. my joes ph left shoe is an 8 1/2 and my right is a 9. i wear size 11 tennis shoes and dress shoes, so their shoes certainly dont follow the norm.
i love them though, i actually have a pair of the bird shooters too, but i dont wear them unless i am hunting. i want to get a pair of the casual shoes too. but right now im too busy buying knives.......... haha

So have I, thus my disdain. It's not a fruit though, so it doesn't fit under my "Fruit in beer is just wrong" fiat, it has its own category of scorn.
I mean, do brewers really think we want a beer that tastes like a pumpkin pie? Wouldn't one be drinking a foofoo drink complete with an umbrella if one wanted a drink that tasted like a pie?

im not a fan of the pumpkin beers, no. somewhat of the DFH punkin ale, thats pretty good. but (to stay on topic) its not a priority that i drink that beer.

HA!! Lemme know when you want to do that. My wife is in real estate and mortgages. The only thing is, we have a relatively short growing season due to our altitude. It doesn't really get warm enough to plant outside 'till after Mother's Day, but you could definitely start indoors to get a head start. The ground is sand....it was sand a thousand years ago and it will be sand a thousand years from now. Soil prep is excruciating!!!! Mushroom compost is a MUST!!! The good thing is....peppers love it here. My peppers get the size of shrubs and put out like no one's business...and I get most of my peppers from Lowe's (Bonnie Plants).
Albuquerque proper really isn't a big city. It likes to think so, but it's not.

So, what part of new Mexico is really good for growing peppers? The part that makes it a legend and all. Is it just that the season is nice and hot and dry, even if it is shorter?
We have long and hot, but the humidity is enough to slice and drink.

Yeah, I lived in Raleigh for a year or so. I really liked it. Not too far from the coast, and not too far from the mountains, the best of both worlds.
In travelling I have encountered a lot of ignorant people who think that people in Kentucky don't wear shoes, wear overalls, have no teeth, etc. So I do bristle pretty easily when I encounter it. Ignorance and racism are the two biggest problems we have as a nation and I have little patience for somone who judges somone else based on how they look or where they are from.

I was just in Kentucky a couple weeks ago. My best friends and his Mom live down there. VERY, VERY different culture and VERY generous people. Also, I agree. None of them are inbred, they can hold up an intelligent conversation just like any other, they have nice cars, ect. His Mom lives in a trailer, but seeing there style of life down there. They would rather have the land not the big fancy house. Everytime I go down there I literally don't want to come back. Did I also mention it's beautiful and the deerhunting is good.:D I to have encountered that stereotype a few times. As a matter of fact last Easter I was with my fiances aunt and she was talking about the inbred people down there. Kind of ticked me off considering she's probably never even stayed the night in that state. Then again she thought I wasn't good enough because I didn't have a "College Education". Doesn't matter that I found school so easy it bored me, I excel at fabricating, work with engineers designing building prototype cars, and I'm also a war vet. Amazing how people can be quick to judge and not even see the rest.
Now about that scene in Vermont. I like chatting on the internet, but I could honestly give it up to live like that.:cool:

You have nailed it completely on the head in 2 sentences....especially the second one. It's just plain ignorance, that's all. I'm from New Jersey, i spend 3 years in North Carolina, and i still occasionally joke with my friends there as being "rednecks", and they still bust my stones about being a "yankee". The difference, however, is i've been there and i know what it's all about and i know these people very, very well.

I have seen some specials on the Hatch chili festival. Is it the "Big Jim" that is so revered there? And I am pretty sure that the growing season there is relatively long. It is just your elevation that makes yours short right?

Lava fields. That stuff makes for some really fertile soil. I get desert sand mixed with whatever I throw in with it. The good stuff always settles to the bottom and the sand comes to the top. I've stopped trying to fight it. I turn the "soil" every spring, but right now all you see is sand.

We made raised beds out of untreated pine (12" by 12' by 3'boxes)we filled the boxes with a good amount of "garden soil" mixed with manure, all bought at Lowe's Home center. The boxes work great for keeping weeds out, but they might help you as well by giving you some controlled soil on top of the sand. Then again it sounds like you are doing pretty well with 5' plants!:shocked:

Now.....I never said I wasn't ....KIND of a redneck:lol::lol: (My liking to live off the land as much as possible is the relation.)It is odd how so many people judge quickly though.;)Yes I also know of the California thing you mention. I get that alot out here as well. While I'm not a big fan of alot of the laws in California I have no problem with the people there either. I've got quite a few family members out there. The point you brought up is the point I was making as well. There's good and bad people EVERYWHERE!!! I like to judge each person on there actions.
It takes a very strong person to not generalize or "just go with the crowd". Accepting a person with no pre-concieved notions about their race, ethnicity, social class, sexual preference etc. is damn near impossible for us humans, but I strongly admire those who do their best to.
