"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined."
~Patrick Henry
Living simply, off-grid, and close to the land.
Once an engineer, now a homesteader in the Sierra Nevada. I write about life, nature, and the quiet joy of living a life by hand. Welcome to my cabin.
I'm a Dad. I'm a Star Wars nerd. I'm a movie buff and critic. I hate the prevailing social narratives, so I make plenty of social commentary. I retired young and am living that expat life. I love exercise too little, food too much, and have a ton of life experience from which I derive my many unpopular and sordid opinions. If any of this sounds remotely interesting, then hello, fellow strange person!
