In reply to the discussion: 5-year justifiable homicide levels remain steady [View all]discntnt_irny_srcsm
(18,479 posts)29. I live in the Eastern time zone.
Most weeks I work from home. I'm basically a cave dweller and I like it better when it's dark.
When I win the lottery, I'm moving here: < http://www.silohome.com/ >.

Stay safe.
