In reply to the discussion: Meet Uruguay's President - who's chosen to live on a ramshackle farm and gives away most of his pay [View all]Tsiyu

it's all the same from day to day.
The sad thing is all the rich fucks are eating up the cheap land and trying to bring Disney World along with them.

Funny as hell: yesterday I saw a woman at a little local store dressed in her bathrobe, her hair wrapped in a towel. Nobody cares. The sentiment: we all gotta take a shower, and sometimes on the mountain you gotta travel to do it ( people in the NE are figuring that out about now ) so no big deal.
In the city? Or the suburbs? People would be wondering what the fuck?
My one trip to LA, seeing everyone in the clubs wearing the exact same outfit, really cracked me up and made me feel sorry for the sheep. They are told what to wear and they by god wear it! Nobody gives a damn what you wear here.
