who here lives in the sticks because cities are too costly?

^ how beautiful, Jimmy. I have enjoyed your posts over the years talking about your home. Good luck with the chestnuts. A noble exercise.

there are a few days when it still is so quiet, i can hear the blood rushing in my cranial capillaries, the sound of my heart thumping in my chest is both audible and palpable as i stand outside.

I feel like I live in the city because its too expensive to move away.

me and my boyfriend have thought of like maybe trying to move to Montana, wyoming or alaska since those places still seem to have a lot of nature and perhaps there would be less people than in colorado when we want to go on hikes. Just sucks you end up missing out on seeing the wild critters when there are tons of people on the trails that are close enough to make a day trip to, because a lot of them are noisy or its just there are so many the critters are no where to be seen.

I like to walk quietly and stop and observe, but when there's constant bicycles and people being loud..almost like they are there more to socialize than to look at nature its kind of hard to do that. I think montana is a less popular destination than colorado perhaps so maybe there the trails wouldn't be so crowded. Also maybe less likely to run into idiots throwing dirt at a rattle snake...that was probably one of the dumbest things I've seen on the colorado trails.

But for now we're kind of stuck where we are at, but maybe eventually we can look to getting out of the city.

in seattle the cheapest can of tuna at a typical grocery store costs over 2 bucks. out here, 79 cents.

We live far enough away to have kangaroos, fruit bats and possums on our street.

But I miss city life, as a single bachelor having the freedom to walk onto a tram in the free zone and move around wherever I wanted.

So $4 gets you 425g and 0.90c gets you 95g

I lived in Manchester city centre for like ages near the MEN arena like over the way from it, everything was on my doorstep but it was miserable in a high rise apartment, no garden or space or anything. I moved out to Yorkshire a while ago and it's just so much nicer, space, garden, low costs - far nicer people to deal with on the daily.

I kind of don't even really see why I bothered with the city anymore it was rubbish in comparison to the countryside.

$1 for a can of tuna is pretty cheap in NYC.
