ANCIENTS: After Baltimore there are still other coins

That hurt, we just got another 4 inches last night.

I still do not have a campgate with doors. I keep getting outbid or they are just too expensive.

 

By the way, it was near 90 degrees here yesterday and the pool water was at 85 degrees (I need to turn down the solar heaters). Ya'll are welcome to come for a swim.

 

OK thats it, I'm in! I will see you in December Bing.

 

Hater. There were 6 cars/trucks in the ditch on my way to work. We are at 28 degrees right now.

 

Ugh. Think of how many coins you could have bought for the price of that pool!

 

It's good living right around the corner from this :

 

Just think how many if I hadn't bought the house (which already had the pool) and I lived in a cave somewhere.

 

Just like steve?

 

Don't worry Bing, come to Connecticut and you could spend twice as much and get something 5 x smaller and 3 x as crappy.

 

Lol, isn't that the truth. I choked when I saw prices in suburban Minneapolis versus prices in Des Moines. I could buy nearly a mansion in DM for the price of my little cabin on the lake here.

 

We moved to Florida from Washington D.C. What a change in the COL. This house would sell for well over a million in the D.C. market. Much less than half that here. But still, the fact remains I could have bought some pretty nice coins with the money I have in this house. Oh, and my cars, especially my '67 Mustangs. I guess I have a few bucks in those as well.

 

The same is true for myself. We've got an acre and a half of fairly isolated property (one neighbor) for the cost of a small condo in a big city. You just can't mind the smell of manure on the cornfields in April.

 

Hey, I grew up on a cattle farm in West Virginia. There is nothing so sweet as the smell of cattle manure on a frosty morning!

 

Cow and horse manure is fine, one gets used to that. There just is no getting used to pig or chicken manure. You can smell them spreading that stuff for miles, and would completely ruin your day if you lived nearby.

I guess a reported from the NY Times was covering the IA caususes once, and was driving along a country road and a manure spreader covered his car with pig manure. That man never again traveled to IA, and never had a nice thing to say about the state as long as he lived.

 

It is a horrid, otherworldly stench.

 

Yeah, we get some of the pig/chicken slurry going onto the fields about this time, and you're right: it's positively vile.

However, we moved here from the inner city, and nothing is as vile as life in the inner city.

 

When stevex6 coins were made, Home Depot had a sale on doors at that time. :>)

 

I don't like the smell of a chicken farm or even a dairy farm, but there is something about a beef cattle farm. I suppose it brings back good memories about times lost.

 

I think you are most probably right Sam. 'Ol Jerry has a way of finding some fine examples
