There’s a tiny slice in the backyard where I hide out......and as already posted, all the guns are locked up. Sights set, on, on 4/30 or so. Stay safe all.

I love Tara Brach's channel.

I know this is an old thread but I think the book, Nomadland, is quite interesting while also a tad depressing. I have a friend who is a Nomad, living in a very old class A, spending many nights in Wal Mart parking lots and truck stops. He says it is much harder than he expected. Just fyi -...

If I could get gas/food $156 a week I would consider myself a hero. Great job!!
