I'm just an old country boy. I try to avoid town as much as possible. Directions to my house include "turn off the dirt road, and it's another half mile up the driveway".

I am an older gentleman now in retirement. I have paid my dues to the thieves in suits and hope that I can survive my remaining years while retaining whatever human(e)ity I have left. I don't take vaccines or meds and have not seen a Doctor in over 20 years and surprise, surprise, I am still very much alive and kicking.
We will not vote our way back to a civilized America. This mess can only end one way. Looking for peaceful resolutions to all conflicts, but not willing to waste a lot of time with elected political liars and the media that supports them.
