@RavenCT I cut a trench across the private lane where it enters my property and leaves the right of way, I had to do this because they refused to maintain the culvert under their private lane and it was flooding out my private driveway. Now they have to slow right down to a crawl to get to and from their homes, something I had politely asked them to do in order to protect the kids that play next door on the other side of the private lane. One nasty old bitch told me that if the parents couldn't keep their little kids off the road then it wouldn't be her fault if they got run over.
Now don't you wish you were a.

@RavenCT Oh they are a treat alright. They have called the police on me, called the fire dept. and even vandalized my property in an effort to cow me into submission, probably the dumbest thing they could have done because I hate bullies. There are 12 houses at the end of the private lane and they felt that force of numbers would prevail, so far they have lost every exchange and badly, it would help if collectively they had enough brain power to generate even a spark of an idea but they don't.

Surfpirate replies on Aug 7, 2018:
It's also good to bear in mind that accounts by the first Conquistadors describe Mayan and Aztec cities far greater than anything found in Europe at that time. The Mayans covered their noses with nosegays of herbs to cover the stink from the unwashed Spanish who had terrible hygiene. The horse, gun powder, Toledo steel and most importantly European diseases that the New World residents had no immunity to were the key components to the Spanish Conquest of the New World. As a civilization the Europeans were actually quite inferior to the Aztecs and Mayans.

Thanks I appreciate the input. Like all islands this one is a place unto itself and yet not. There is an Old Guard contingent that would like to see things move back to gravel roads and buggy whips. My township has some of the lowest taxes in the province while still having some of the highest incomes per population. The money is focused in the older people and the younger people who are the future are left wanting. Unless a base is provided for the next generation there really won't be much of an island community left in a decade or two.

Last I looked, newer large boats 50' plus are selling for a good price and smaller, trailerable boats under 25' have a strong market but anything in that middle zone is a tough nut, especially if it can't be put on a trailer. Marine fees have gone through the roof.

The beach in the picture was called The Pirate Beach and when I got stuck in the soft sand it was the pirates who lived next door who came over and help pull me out with their 4x4. They wouldn't even take my in thanks but gladly accepted the bottle of tequila I offered them, good people although they do have a habit of robbing people when the fishing gets slow.

My wife had a black cat when I met her, he was named Merlin. I'm not much of a cat person, preferring Bouvier de Flandres so when her cat died I gave her pick of litter when I bred my stud dog and she chose a beautiful, black Bouvier bitch with a white blaze on her chest, possibly the smartest Bouvier I have ever known. Brianna from the Gaelic for 'A Great Disturbance. :D

"Why don't you do a thousand deep knee bends directly over the nearest fire hydrant?" That's my favorite insult. In my 20s, I was a good shot in a basketball game called "Horse." I often beat the guys. "Why don't you go knit dinner?" Ken asked. "Why don't you do 1,000 deep knee bends ...

GuyKeith comments on Aug 3, 2018:
I usually rely on my own superior sarcastic wit or Hector's Law™. Hector's Law: Given enough time a Fundie/Troll/Conservative/Evangelical will debunk his or herself. For advanced Trolls, like sealions, it is best to just let them burn themselves out.

I actually had to google Sealioning to figure out which sacks of horseshit you were talking about. Thanks for the new to me term. (y)

GuyKeith comments on Aug 3, 2018:
I use movie lines all the time since I watch and review movies. They are great comebacks, especially if the troll is not familiar with the movie. Of course, this can get me in trouble IRL as once an attractive lady bumped into me and I said "If you wanted to get acquainted, why didn't you just say...

@kenriley A poker buddy of mine in Bermuda used to bring chili to our tournaments and it was always hot but one time he brought chili made with ghost peppers and it damned near blew the tops of the heads of the first few players who took a liberal portion expecting his usual super hot chili con carne, this time it was nuclear hot. I like hot and spicy food (women too for that matter) but this was so hot it reminded me of my psychotic ex-wife kinda hot and spicy. (still feeling the burn 20 years later from that little soiree)

@SukiSue They get by with a little help from their two legged friends. A buddy of mine down the road has 13 that are neutered or spayed thanks to his wife, the cat food bill is starting to get up there mind you. A fox tried to snatch one of the kittens a few weeks back and it puffed up hissing and spitting which slowed the fox long enough for the other dozen feral cats to come on the double, the fox lost a fair bit of fur before it could beat a hasty retreat.

That little barn cat replaced the old one that looked identical but had a bad paw, I assume the coyotes got him as he hasn't been around for more than a week now. This black cat is a good lurker, I had to use maximum zoom in order to get a decent shot as he bolts for the woods if you get too close.

Surfpirate replies on Aug 3, 2018:
I've seen plenty of mini van conversions and they seem to work really well for people on long haul trips like Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, although you would want a 4x4 option or at least all wheel drive for that kind of trip. Some people carry large tents you can stand up in and add them to the side of their vans to increase living space or they pull a small trailer like a tear drop which are a great way to get a conversation going at a new camp. It is nice to be able to unhook your home for sightseeing trips and shopping etc.

Surfpirate replies on Aug 3, 2018:
@Salo It would be a pretty short movie, I doubt the whole encounter took more than 5 minutes of dream time. Real time was probably an hour because I tend to dream in clips that are pretty much seamless like a movie.

Do you discuss your dreams with somebody else on a regular basis?

Surfpirate replies on Aug 2, 2018:
@Sheannutt I hate alarm clocks too, I only use them when I have to catch a flight somewhere and can't afford to miss it, even then I always wake up 5 minutes before it goes off because I hate the noise they make. Sounds like you need to deprogram some of your dream recall so you can start remembering them again. You can train your mind to remember but you can also train your mind to not remember, so it should be a simple matter of unblocking.

@Lilac-Jade Which attitude and where? The xenophobic Trumpet attitude to everything not in the good ole US of A? There are lots of good people in the US but there are an awful lot of fucking retarded people with handguns too. I would like to think that we could just leave them alone until they kill each other off and we can go in an save the decent ones who have survived but somehow I don't think that is going to work, maybe some kind of international chemotherapy will work on this cancer.

Surfpirate replies on Aug 2, 2018:
@thislife I sometimes find that my dreams are a lot like my subconscious mind talking to me, cutting through the background noise of daily life and providing clarity on important issues. I have also dreamed the solutions to complicated engineering problems and logistical problems that effected my job. Most of the time my dreams are just fun or at least interesting during a period when my mind would be dormant as my body goes through its regeneration cycle, after 4 days without sleep some weird things start to happen and much longer than that the possibility of death starts to be a factor. We can't avoid sleeping one third of our life away and since the possibility of a heaven is very remote at best, it just makes sense not to waste that much of our existence.

I love the collapsible glass wall, super expensive but beautiful. My wife wanted them for our new house and the price for a 16' x 8' opening was a little over $11k so I built it with two 8' x 8' sliding glass doors instead for around $2k.
