a taste of FSJ
Here is my "livable for the below average" space. yikes! So I bought a shelving unit for my private room to neccesitate with: coffee maker - toaster oven - mini george foreman (key!) - microwave - mini fridge - dishes/utensils - water jugs - canned anything - cable - tv/dvd - anything a one bedroom apartment needs (other than plumbing)that is below $18 from wal-mart. I am set up! No longer use this downstairs "get together area" with my roomies. No need. I am an island up here and I love it.
My neighbour who I met the day of the virtual tour production (and havent seen since...) She was upset with me. "Don't be take'n pictures of these homes from the outside! The outside don't do them justice! The insides that matters ey...mine is beautiful through them doors..." I told her I believed her and that I would take her word for it. Couldn't flip the picture for you but you also can't see her missing teeth on the bottom rack that I was going for...you get the idea. Back to the virtual tour....ps the bike is her lawn ornament.
Major difference from city to colony. They all drive huge vehicles. Here is how I do against the local traffic.
My "driveway" or garage if you please. Consider it is gravel and pretty much one big pot hole. The pot holes in/out of my "home" are big enough to lose a small dog in after a rain fall if the dog can't swim. Dangling the honda through rutts/holes has become a regular driving hazard. And, my car is always this dirty.
More to come on the FSJ virtual tour soon...I just dont have time right now. I got people to meet, and meters to install!
Ciao!

Its like you are at the polar oposite end of the world from me! People here drive tiny vehicles and take immaculate care of their miniscule gardens. I'm in the land of ceremony and bureocracy and your in the land of raw and uncut.
Do we ever learn a lot!
Gosh...you are priceless! I miss your quick witt and general view on life! :) Your invite to FSJ gets more and more tempting by the day! I can't wait for Christmas either...it's actually not that far away. 58 days til Christmas to be exact, and 53 until you get home (yeah, I just counted)! I miss you buddy...your blogs brighten up my day because through your adverse circumstances you are able to put a positive spin on things and make light of your situation! Few people could do what you are doing! Love you!
James
