Hmm...err...the dome over my property isn't in this year's budget, I'm 
afraid, so I can guarantee lots of snow. And ice. I have a picture of my 
driveway from last year...the entire 200' of it is encased in about 2" 
of ice. It was 3 days before I could get out. But the dogs always get 
the good seats to watch TV.

If I didn't have kids at home, I'd consider renting rooms to people who 
enthusiastically wanted to farm. I think a small group of people could 
whip this place into a productive farm and share the profits. By myself, 
I can barely keep it standing.

Honestly, though, it's hard for me to fathom all that stuff with the 
yen. What will happen if the yen goes below 70? The world ends? I'm 
obviously clueless about global finances. The economy in this area 
hasn't been great for years; I keep looking around, but don't see 
anything changing. Some rural areas, far from civilization, seem 
somewhat insulated from world events, or maybe 'it' will just take 
longer to hit here.
