Hi my name is Mort

[NumbSkull]

Norton you seem to be a little strange. Are you a stalker?

Milt's place is Milt's business. But I will give you a few words of advice about this or any other small rural area. Unless you already have a pocket ful of cash or know somebody or have the skills or business sense to start a business you will find it tough to survive. I have seen lots of people come here attracted to the small town atmosphere and low cost of living only to find they cannot sustain themselves much longer than the bankroll they came here with holds out. It is a hard fact of life that rural America is not for the faint of heart. If the economics does not get you, the weather will. Yep I have seen a lot come and go.

It was a Dodge truck. But yeah I never thought about that. but now that you mention it I have not seen that truck since we got back.

I have always been the misunderstood type! I never have had a Black Van , but have worked in the past for a U. S. Law Enforcement Agency which I prefer to not mention by name. But we drank large quanities of alcohol rather than hinder the consumption of mind pleasing beverages.

Sorry Mort but I guess I got the impression that you lived in a rather depressed area where the intelligence level was also somewhat depressed. I had not seen any posts by Milt himself and that is why I inquired as to his status through you. I will look elsewhere for a place to bring the Mrs. where she may enjoy the company of down home friendly people

[NumbSkull]

Do not misunderstand me Norton. People here are friendly but there are only a few that are making money. Some agricultural people are making money and some service industries are making money but everybody else is just treading water. This makes it tough for people depending on a few jobs to make a living. There is some call for hunting and fishing guides but even that depends on somebody with the money and willing to pay you to guide them.

Glad to have ya back, Mort! Where in Montana did you go? I don't envy you driving through eastern MT in the winter.

What might throw a monkey wrench in the works is the possibility we ourselves might sell out and move farther south. Me and the Mrs have been talking more about it and while it is highly unlikely we could ever leave this country it is still a possibility.

I think you'd make a great surf bum in Costa Rica.
