Dear, I wish I was 20 years younger, you sound delightful. I have bought land in the Texas Hill country, on top of a little hill. As soon as I can solve the access problem (getting up the hill) I plan on building a Quanset hut type house with some features I stole from Earthship. I like the Earthship, just do not have the strength anymore for all that digging etc. I went with my youngest daughter to the 3 day seminar with M. Renolds, a nice trip, I recommend it. I have been married twice, both times for over a decade, and if I have learned anything from that it is that (my) lack of negative traits is not a positive trait. I am working on being idiosyncratic. Although this seems difficult it is time I did something; I have been doing nearly impossible things at work for decades and have traveled in many parts of the US and even in Canada. I do not hunt but (surprisingly) have granddaughters that do. I am a lifelong Texan, mostly living on the coast, so am used to hot, damp, dry, changeable weather. I have worked in Montana a couple of times and Idaho but would not want to live there year round. I will say, if I wanted to live in Oregon, I would go there to make friends and find a job. I did some research for a job at Bellingham,WA and the location seemed very promising, I did not get that job though.
