If you haven’t been made aware, Laura and I had been searching for a house since the beginning of the year. After viewing more homes than I ever cared to, we finally settled on a house out in Gardner. The place is a three bedroom, two and a half bath on the very edge of civilization. I’ve seen the barbarians roam in from the fields located to the North and West of the subdivision, an akward moment, as you can imagine.
The city is currently building its first WalMart, hopefully a Best Buy will not be too far behind. There are many shops and eateries that remind me of places around Steve’s place; the small family owned places which take some bravery to count on them to fill your lunch hungry stomach. A place called Mom’s looks pretty good, as does a place I believe is called Main Street Cafe isn’t too far from the new place.
Very exciting.
A new era of exploring.
This time could be more important, much in the same way that it is the first new permanent address, this house can become your home. That area could become your domain. Much like the Spaniards, just walking onto a plot of land makes it ours. That is one of our powers.
Ooh, a house. How far away is Gardner by the by? Will we ever see Hoj again after he moves into the uncharted Norselands?
And if you need any homestead defense I know a guy who is pretty good at building pointy stick fences. Barbarians hate those.
From your place to my new one, there are 23 miles of road which must be traveled to be in my driveway, with most of the distance being covered using I-35. Steve, however, would have 27 miles worth of driving to do. Ahhh… Google Earth.
I should hope we will see each other again, as if we don’t, it will only mean the barbarians have overrun my fortifications and my head is currently being used in some crude and more violent version of basketball.
As for pointy stick fences, I will likely need your guy’s expertise. Let me know his going rate for fence pointying and an estimated time to complete the job, and we’ll see if we can work something out.

the second swipe was a non-PIN, credit swipe.
