173. And that is the KEY.... LAND. As a friend said years ago, "We're fresh out of beaver pelts".

In other words, no frontier to start with nothing. "I owe my soul to the company store".

And I agree with your plea.... have some compassion for the children... PLUS, those who are physically not able to work so hard just for what others take for granted.

It sounds like you have found some peace, and I am glad for that. I envy that, but I wouldn't have the physical ability to make it work. I have dreamed of building my own adobe house, mud brick by mud brick, but I can't physically do it. There are so many like me, and we are forgotten.
