Homestead mailing list

[bob ford <bobford79 AT yahoo.com>]

I'm not exactly your age, but very close; I'm in your generation.  I don't 
give those type identifiers on the list, because there is always the chance 
that a business associate or a relative could join this list without my 
knowledge.  My views on issues such as religion are not exactly mainstream.  
 
I am too old to do some things that I would like to do.  And, I'm certainly 
too old to react in ways that I think a principled and rational young man 
might react to the destruction of the culture and the Constitution.  I've 
never spent more than one night at a time in jail, 'too old to be locked in a 
cage full time......bobf

Bob; I don't know how old you are, but people are never too old to start 
something new. I've seen this attitude in men I dated; they are ready to 
retire and sit on the sofa until the grim reaper comes for them (why I 
no longer date). I'm 52 and feel like my life is just starting a new 
chapter. I moved from the city to start homesteading at 40. At 50 I 
divorced and started a new life as a single mother running a farm alone. 
Every day is an adventure.
