,,Things to See

There are two kinds of people in my world: Those who say I'm crazy, and those who envy me...

It started in February, 2007 when I got laid off from my job. I found another job in April in Charleston, WV. What I did not find was a place to live. I could live in an apartment, but I'd rather spoon out my eyeballs (and I'm not crazy for that idea). There has been little in the way of a place to live, and even less that I'd want to live in.

Necessity being the mother that it is, I started camping in the Kanawha State Forest. When my wife comes to Charleston for a few days a week, we've been staying at Motel 6. After a while, I realized that what I really wanted to do was to keep right on camping. My wife initially didn't want to go along, but she agreed to do this if we could get a bigger tent.

We figure we can save quite a bit of money. With a house, there are a lot of expenses.
