If my driveway wasn't so steep I'd seriously consider staying put in this house until the cows come home. But that 25% driveway is a killer after a winter storm.

Our votes were counted. October 5th.
We currently live 200 meters outside the village limit. We have butane trucked in, village water, plus a drilled well, and 100% solar for electricity. Trash pickup twice a week, but we rarely put much out.

You know what I hate? People copying me on emails simply to threaten the recipient.

Speaking of winter, who else is looking forward to the new George Clooney Christmas flick?

Think I'll go out and rake up some pine needles. I have lots of pine needles.

Yeah, I took the pains to measure it this year and even I was surprised. It rises 1 foot for every 4 feet you travel.
I'll take a look for a pic.

It's an amicable thing, just wasn't good for either of us any more and it turns out I'm not really big on being a suburban dad in a cul de sac. 50/50 split with the kiddo is what I wanted and what we're doing, so that's good.

what is the other 75%? Gravel, therefore not a proper road?

Oooh - I guess I haven't been reading closely enough. Sorry to hear that it didn't work out, but glad to hear that you're able to move on without a wreck of a relationship.

In the double-edged sword category, my wife bought my favorite key lime pie... a whole one. Now I'm going to feel compelled to not waste it, but I'm also not going to throw the daily calorie deficit out of the window... which means a lot of work offsetting. Oy.
