Homestead mailing list

[bob ford <bobford79 AT yahoo.com>]

I know no homesteader types in real life.  None.  I have been to a few 
gatherings over the years with people who claim to be, but they were only in 
town for the weekend "show".  (I've met Mike Oehler, people like that)

As far the other stuff, maybe I am conflicted, but I think I am actually 
directed more, now than ever;  and maybe I've been a little too open , on the 
list, lately.  Thank's for putting up with my nonsense.  My life is not that 
complicated.  If it were not 'me' living it, I could probably tell me excatly 
what to do .....bobford
