I got a little piece of land here & I own it. I got it cheap, during the financial crisis of 08. It's paid for. This gives me a lot of latitude. I basically have no rent, no mortgage. It's nothing to brag about but, goddammit, it's cost effective.

Well, that's great. I'm really glad you're free of all that. You suffered and worked tremendously hard in the past. So you deserve what you have now.

Ha! I didn't work that hard. I just tried to avoid getting caught up in shit that I didn't need. No kids, low overhead, I had a little bit of cash, the seller was highly motivated & it worked out.

You may not have worked that hard to get that land you own. But before that, you had certainly worked hard in your series of excruciating relationships, in your relationships with your parents and siblings, in pursuing truth through religion and philosophy, and everything else.

Oh. You mean that kind of work. OK. Yeah. I've been thru some wacky shit. But I guess we all have, in our own way. I sure have been thru the religions. Haha. One time I went to a serpent handler religious convention. A pastor got bit & died. I swear to god.

Gosh, that's tragic! But then again, the victim might have been looking for a good way to die. I hope he didn't suffer much in dying.

Yeah. Mack Wolford was his name. Google it. He's a legendary serpent handler. Yeah. They all wanna die "in the signs", as they say. I went down becuz I love their music. It's like psychedelic rock with more adrenaline. They also drink strychnine & handle fire

I've just googled his name and found that he died only six years ago and had been well-known in Appalachia. Interesting guy.

Yeah. Mack called me & invited me down. He used to call me all the time & we'd talk about religion & philosophy & stuff. I liked him. There are documentaries out there of him or he's in them. Hadn't been bitten in years. I go down & he gets bit & dies. smh

No. That didn't happen here where I live. Hahaha. It was way down in the mountains on the West Virginia and Virginia line. You must not be following the thread.

It's easy to do. Sometimes, the threads splinter off & go in different directions. I'm like "whaa??"
