nothing to do with USD. I know I'm going rural, and soon. But,
"location" or "direction" will be influenced by questions like
those., and others.

Bob, I have snipped out a few lines from the above...
I value my life by what I can give my children and grandchildren and other people. In that way, you can make the arguement that I allow others to validate me. Maybe so. My assets, my financial worth, wouldn't be enough to buy matches for my funeral pyre.<g>

Maybe I don't understand you because you measure your worth in dollars..I know what little I have, EarthNSky(and really Countrwide still owns this farm, but for the sake of argument), I would never even think of trading it. It is part of me. Perhaps because you have been fortunate enough to have money and multiple properties, you are not so attached to a place. I know you love your dog, and he/she is probably within 10 feet of you as you read this...mine is...do you think your dog values you?
Can you, would you, tell us where the properties are and maybe something about them? Perhaps we can help you decide by giving positives and negatives.

Bev
