I've been to Gene's Heartwood.  It reminds me of my own home turf.   I 
am not quite as far out-I don't think, but I have just as much privacy 
and seclusion.
Gainesville?  Why would anyone looking for culture go to Gainesville..I 
believe West Plains is about 30 miles or less-from memory it seemed 
about 30 minutes away.  I am 30 minutes from town, one way Calhoun, the 
other way Rome, but the distance is a bit less..

35K

We knew absolutely zero people here.  Family was two hours away.

Later tonight, I will put a aerial shot of my place up on myspace.  I'm 
gonna watch West Side Story(the original), and then I will do it.
My friends, because I don't get out that much are mostly neighbors.  I 
have lost contact with most of my city friends, whom I never had much in 
common with anyway.


Bob, does your wife enjoy gardening, sewing, or anything that might in 
any way be considered a rural pasttime?
