Then I have a lawyer friend in Chicago who I knew since we were 8 years old. And he once said that because of his good job that he had to beat the girls off with a stick.Margery Billdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05589667608391862832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-86982099030483660332017-03-09T06:48:52.915-06:002017-03-09T06:48:52.915-06:00AWESOME!!!

Well, I am debt free that's true... but living off-grid, ‘under the radar’ is such a hard thing to do in much of the first world. Cheap land like you've bought is practically nonexistent here in the UK. <br /><br />You have a T3i, an amazing little camera, I have the same, it's called a 700D/760D over here. Great blog and YT channel.

Few compete with the desert skies though especially in Namibia...and our Berg skies here in KZN. Clouds are just as fascinating. We have a lovely Nikon. I should go for classes but you need the lenses too I thinkAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15794492095872548923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-83657365502790673152017-03-08T20:54:18.818-06:002017-03-08T20:54:18.818-06:00My dogs were looking across the road where he had ...My dogs were looking across the road where he had lived but a man came and cleaned it out.

He was such a sweet fellow. Poor fellow.

That was 52 years ago and I made a buck an hour before taxes. Had to save up to buy a used Polaroid from a co-worker for $25.
