My most treasured possession
What's your most treasured possession? What would you rescue from a fire (be it for sentimental or purely financial reasons)?
My Great-Uncle left me his visitors book which along with boring people like the Queen and Harold Wilson has Spike Milligan's signature in it. It's all loopy.
Either that or my Grandfather's swords.

At this point
my thought is to try to buy some land in West Virginia, because there's nothing- and I do mean NOTHING- in West Virginia to attract yuppies. I think I can probably manage to buy a very large chunk of land there for an amount I can afford, and the taxes are minuscule- a ten-acre chunk I looked at a year ago had annual taxes of a little over $300. If I can afford the land, I'll build out there as cheaply as I can, doing as much of it as I can, and one day I shall utter a curse directed at the rest of the world and go in there and not come out.
Well, maybe not- but I like to think about it, anyway.
