1 More Backfill

Well, I hope 'I'm sorry' cuts it. I've been without reliable internet access for going on two months now, so the blog has suffered greatly. If you aren't the forgiving type, let me bribe you with a blog series. I'll be doing the next few entries on something that underlies the core philosophy of 1 More Day...Freedom. Yes, It's Constitution week and I'm going to go America all over your asses. We'll be staying mostly in the philosophical realm as I want you to just get thinking about the gravity of the issue, allowing you to draw your own practical conclusions and formulate action steps that are unique to your life. Until then, allow me to explain my absence.

My family and I decided to suddenly move 700 miles south. We moved from the Ohio Valley to the Low Country of South Carolina. As my wife puts it, 'I traded a mansion in the city for a trailer in the woods.' The biggest reason for our move was as a big step toward building our homestead. SO, we'll be keeping you up to date with our progress and hopefully you can learn a lot from our mistakes. For example...

Mistake number one: inadequate education as to the different wildlife present in our new location. They have what the locals call 'March Mosquitoes' down here. Just when you thought mosquitoes couldn't get any more annoying, they get bigger. Here's a normal mosquito that happened to meet its maker on my windshield right next to a giant marsh mosquito. There ain't enough DEET in Monsanto's tanks for these babies. Til next time...
