I should probably collect more possessions.
Everywhere I go there's aisles and aisles and more aisles, row after row of them. They're stacked on top of each other floor to ceiling with shelving and Pringle's, picture frames and magnets and...
Shopping carts are 3-wide out there, they can't get enough of it.
I should probably get my own walls.
Then I could get a BBQ grill and invite neighbors and strangers over for a swim and grilled shrimp. Everyone I know and don't know would know my address and Pura could invite her 30 something year old friends over to lay out and swim and...
I could repaint them when paint's on sale. Switch all the plastic receptacle covers to stainless steel covers like hospitals.
I should probably have a garage there.
Then we could get a second vehicle to park in it, a truck. We'll drive separate vehicles like people who don't like each other have separate bedrooms or not and just use one for pleasure and the truck to transport sod and mulch and paint and scaffold and...
I'll build cabinets to hang in the garage at eye level so we're not bending at the waist to store stuff we don't have room for inside.
I should probably build a fence around it.
A six foot tall security fence made of fiberglass so it lasts longer than me. I'll energize the top perimeter so if anyone tries climbing it they'll have 15kv DC across their teeth and they'll scream and get the dogs attention and they'll bark their heads off and nobody gets over the fence and...
We'll have two gates, one in front, one in back. Both will be keyed and only we have the pin.
I should probably install surveillance equipment.
Cameras around the house and around the property, one on top of each motion sensor activated security light. One at the gate for deliveries and each door, especially the front. A monitor in each room synced to our phones for viewing and low voltage data for intercom and a Beware Of Dog sign and...
We could have supplies and meals delivered. Clothing, magnets, whatever we want and never leave again.
I should probably barricade the doors and windows or not and hop .¸¸.•´` somewhere else.
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
I have eyes to draw in the sky now and give it up one time for Ludwig. Well said, Ludwig.

I love that there were really atleast 2 stories and 2 walks in this one post! 😅
Love is as good as it gets, I'll take it! I'm glad you enjoyed this one, the pleasure's mine. Thank you more than THIS for the reblog.
You're more than welcome and I look forward to more double dipper stories from you too! 🤣
Good old Ludwig, I obviously am responsible for a whole lot of intelligent things happening. I just cant think of many, Got the silliness in spades tho.
As for putting down roots in a set of walls... Its only a good location if you dont need security or cameras, The fence however is a good idea to deter Jehovah's witnesses. Seriously they even found me here...
Yes!! I'm Christian Right? Back in the day when I had the studio going full time, I had two Missionaries visit the house. We got along great, would chill in the garage and rap. They came by several times over the next couple months. By the time they left, we were inside making music and drinking Coke. 🤷🏼
Wassup Rubido? Thanks for checking this one out. I appreciate all the support you've shown me since your arrival, I don't forget those things, thank you.
Much love man.
👊🏼
Me I'm Christian by default, My Uncle Chuck was a GOOD Christian, let Homeless dudes crash at his house, fed the poor, period. No questions asked, you hungry his door was open. He turned the other cheek in more ways than I can count. After Nam he became a Preacher man. He lived like a Saint until he kicked it a few years back.
He even paid for me and my wifes wedding service and married us.
More importantly he opened a free halfway house, Ran a Youth club, Offered free guidance counselling. He Gave 310% everyday. That man is My definition of doin good.
His wife was English too, Good taste must run deep.
Obviously I only support what I respect, If you started shit postin about depends and scented candles Id have to rethink things. Until then cause your awesome Ill keep readin.
It's people like your uncle I'm 310% comfortable with myself if I can just achieve Not That Bad.
I'll take not that bad anyday, beats complete cunt on my headstone 👍
Probably NOT...!!! Hope you and Pura have a pleasant Thanksgiving day where ever you choose to tresspass upon :>)
Well fuckin well if it isn't a blast from the past. You know I miss your content right? Thanks for keeping an eye on me this many years @angryman.
Having the opportunity to build this virtual relationship with you truly has been my pleasure and I have no regrets. Stay physically fit my man and I hope your mind remains even sharper.
Much love sir.
Well, Mr. @Dandays.... since you value me so much, THIS is another most lucky, celebratory day - since I just posted another exceptionally, gifted piece on/in my blog:
https://ecency.com/abundance/@angryman/happy-thanksgiving-crypto-day
Thank you for the uplifting message. Ditto back at'cha....
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us and the world will live as one 🙌
I bet you didn't know every time I have iTunes on classical piano which is quite regularly I think MiPiano.
💖
Thank you.
😇😇
So I definitely should not change my musical instrument and username ;D
That’s a nice looking property and a great and fun post read
Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)
My pleasure @tattoodjay, thanks for hosting this community. Sorry it took me so long to stop by.
I've been seeing more and more of these Wednesday walks in my feed and, well, I hate feeling left out.
Lol none of us like feeling left out
Glad to have you join
That your new property man? Looks awesome!
15 kv of DC is intense, their teeth will be the least of their worries in that! Lol
These things are all nice and fun, having a place where lots of people can come and hang out, enjoy themselves and chill out. I should get it too!
If I could just find the "where." It's probably just me but each time I crest a mountain I look in the distance for another one, 'what's on top of that mountain?'
Negative, not our plot, are you kidding?! I need a snake suit.
Thank you.
Hahaha get a couple mongoose, they should eat all the snakes!
I hear you on the mountains, I'm always looking at ones in the distance at least on the job side. I like what I do but am always on the lookout for something different or another thing that I could do instead.
Mongoose - noted. I wish I was making it up but I'm ruined now. I can't stop thinking of all the places I've been since we got here. I must've been surrounded by them.
With all due respect, I'm glad it's not just me. Job, I get it, I kinda got lucky on that one working my career Union. I was able to come and go as I pleased.
I've posted in 8 different communities now, doing a little science experiment thing out of 10, 2 to go and then it's conclusion time.
Hahaha those damn snakes!
I'm glad it's not me either lol I know a bunch of people I worked with would look at me funny when I would say that I'm getting into this or that out of interest. I like getting into new things and having something on the horizon that I think would be interesting to try. Makes it fun for me since I'm always looking for something challenging to do. I hope it keeps the old brain from aging as well!
How's the experiment going? I didn't think of doing that, it sounds fun. Glad to see you posted in the Wednesday Walk community after learning of it with my last one!
It's going surprisingly interesting actually. I went into this to show I didn't notice a difference, that was the whole point. So much for that! HUGE difference. Joke's on me.
You sound about as unsettled as my mirror, I have a vague idea what it's like in Maine right now. Three months sir. I've chalked everything up to three months and I wish it wasn't that way. If you've figured out how to break that rule I'm all eyes.
Hats, cars, shoes, paint, market, phone, insert random material item here—boring after three months.
Thankfully I make it longer than three months personally for things but I'm usually 2-3 years in things before I'm looking for what to do next. Hive, thankfully, isn't on the list of things I'm looking to change!
Maine is beautiful, though colder than where I'm at lol we are considering getting a bit of land there somewhere since the prices are reasonable. Florida first though, then Maine later.
So...Not your property from what I gathered in the comments. So ... Are you trespassing? Haha it was a fun read with some jokes cracked. I'm glad you're posting more often
Yooo. Now that you mention it I think only one of them had a warning sign. It said some crazy shit though like if you can read this you're in range.
Thanks for checkin this out. My next one's gonna be HWY 441 and that night we hung out with Plants. I saw that sign at the end of the article with those weird tasks and had to make it work. Did you check out Ludwig?
Thanks Ed!
PS - What do you mean jokes?
hehehe I love this post...It really does show how slippery that slope is, doesn't it? I'm not sure how to balance it all out.
I've been super open - not locked my doors - literally kept the door open and told people come on it - no need to knock! Just walk in and say hi! (this was in a camp community where the neigbors all worked together hahah)
and then i've had that so horribly abused.... that it led to me starting to close off doors ... and windows. LOL
then i became somewhat of a hermit LOL
and now - i'm probably incredibly open online, and incredibly closed offline.
I used to feel bad about that, and now I feel comfortable with that. I give time to the people who work their way into my heart. And I keep the gates locked for those who don't really give a shit either way LOL.
I'd love for Lennon to be right - and I think it will eventually be all. right.
But for now... hmmmm.
Imagine. :)
hi you
Thank you more than THIS. 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓔𝓷𝓭
I'm probably just kidding.
Yes, it is slippery. I've always played the game and filled the rooms with things. It wasn't until 2017 when we left the states I had to unload everything. My record collection was the toughest, about 10k pieces.
I had all my mothers things in a storage locker once, everything from her birth certificate to the jewelry she was wearing when she died. They stole the whole thing.
Both that and the record collection were tough to say bye to and, since saying by to both, I've been able to say bye to everything else and learned I feel more accomplished and liberated the less things I possess.
Sorry if I went way out in left field with this response but it's your fault.
💖
p.s.
I looked up on Yelp for that jeweler??
many people complaining over the same type of theft. But how can you prove it???
I guess some sort of tricky spy stuff hahaha but - hmmm my energy goes to other things
The only proof in that situation is either you or a pro stared through a loop and identified the Diamonds characteristics before they repaired the ring. Then a third party could verify the stone per identification afterward.
or ... got it appraised RIGHT beforehand by another jeweler.
i'm fairly certain they would be able to tell the color of the diamond was different if i could hahaha
might was white - this was more yellow. the cut and shape was similar - but the quality was poorer.
I'm sure the carat size was also slightly off (why the stone didn't fit exactly into the setting anymore)
i'd love to actually do this if i had time to do it. LOL and money
cuz of course you'd have to be willing to let go of a stone! and get a junk one in return
but the thrill of nailing those bastards.....
Oh yeah an appraisal will identify the characteristics. It's a rough world out there.
But I got my hair did today so meh.. world shmirld.
pics or it didn't happen

What in the hell does a Sasquatch with a big gulp and a pizza equal winter Olympics?
Another great Wednesday post I've read today, plus your sense of humor and beautiful pictures. I am marking this as 100 @dandays. Perfect :)
Since I haven't been walking on Wednesdays recently (while my other friends have been going for a walk on Hive every Wednesday), I'll be posting tomorrow :) It's better late than never haha.
Enjoy your Wednesday :)
I'll be looking for your Wednesday tomorrow then.
Wassup TrangBaby? I appreciate you keeping an eye on me. Thank you. I've seen quite a few of these Walks now and have quite a few images saved so here I am. =}
Always a pleasure when we cross paths.
What an absolutely perfect post and perfect scenery. 'nuff said. Stay well :-)
Off to google Ludwig!
EDIT: Wow, he's going to keep me busy tonight, not sure how I have never come across him before. Thank you :-)
Here I go again about how I'm still trying to put together a proper thank you. 👊🏼
For searching Ludwig of course. My pleasure sir. I hope you're not the only one who googles him. I read his bio and reacted like you, 'how in the hell am I just now hearing of this person?!'
You might also want a gun to protect yourself from thieves and foreigners.
Also knock knock I'm here with your !PIZZA delivery.
Do you mean probably want a gun or was might intentional? I need clarity before I proceed with this response.
I'm not even gonna answer the door yet.
Clarification: You definitely want a gun.
Dodged a bullet on that one!
LOL,
!BEER
which btw pairs very well with guns

Interesting read.
Timely as well with black Friday approaching. Makes me think about consumerism, which I'm thinking is the idea?
Mono-e-mono Leaky, sometimes I need to remind myself of these things. I sure do appreciate you keeping an eye on me, each time you drop a line it's always pleasant. Thanks for being cool. 👊🏼
Did you get a chance to check out Ludwig? I can not explain how I've never heard of him til that day.
👊
No I've never actually heard of Ludwig. I don't know many philosophers other than the obvious ones
Sounds like living the dream.
Say again please. I was sleeping.
E Flat Minor on repeat.
Sounds like an alarm clock.
Yeah an alarm clock ignored, obviously.
Snoozed...
I think he's checked out for the day.
That quote from Ludwig, very poignant. I've imagined the world several times like that especially when I read/think about ancient societies that came close to living like that. The term for it is Communal Living, humanity can surely bring it back more consciously and deliberately and on a larger scale, but the obstacles to getting there... A good percentage of people would outrightly say they do not even want any part of that at all.
Well so much for intuition.
When I see Nevies content or response, I think funny. Humor but not dark, kinda edgy, funny. And now you went all philosophical. Yooo! Wassup man?
Communal living (I swear my damn autocorrect had communism just now instead of communal), "Imagine." I really enjoyed this comment.
I didn't know who Ludwig was before that sign that day. I feel neglected but I've been catching up since. Communal living philosophies I trip out on regularly like how bad we've fucked this place up. A long time ago "shelter" was paradise. Now a price tags is placed on paradise and "shelter" is derogatory.
Thank you!
Well, if you ask me I'll say I go philosophical all the time alongside the humour stuff😈😅
This is really true, very profound of you.
You also know that everything that has to do with communal living now is viewed as socialism and communism, especially in America. But I think that's mainly when its the government is behind the project, Communal sharing would be more acceptable and even generally better when it is pushed forward by private individuals and everyday people rather than the government.
Much love my man. Very well said.
Before I got to the finish I was thinking it has to be private, we'd have to do it ourselves as the people for it to work and you took the words outta my fingers.
Good morning ! That was a nice walk. How did ya sleep last night? At least you didn't have to worry about getting stuff stolen, since you have so few processions. I have always been a no frills kinda gal, mostly out of necessity. But there's nothing wrong with thoughtful gift giving. It's when it's excessive that bothers me. The best things for me are those homemade ones, like a picture drawn by a five year old or some yummy fresh baked cookies, or a pair of wool sox. Simple but thoughtful. The last thing I need is diamond rings, give me a good pair of work gloves and I am good to go.
But for myself, owning land has always been top of the chart. With land anything is possible, you can grow food, build walls, put up fences or not, live free, let the dogs run, shelter the family.
As much as I love to travel, there's still no place like home.
Enjoy the day.
I hear you. I've never been uncomfortable owning land. Just knowing it's there has always been a sense of security. Well, like any market really. My grandfather taught me that when I was 18. Even the chunk we scored while we were here is comforting because it isn't going anywhere.
Good morning farm-mom, more than THIS. I owe a good portion of this confidence to the Jurg's. Thank you.
I'm always doing things backwards farm-mom. Bought my first home at 18 and, rather than fill it up, I sold it. Seems I've been that way ever since, no children plays a huge role in that. But I promise if I could just frikkin park I'd probably enjoy painting the walls and hanging paintings on them and an art gallery where I could splash paint on the floors and tear carpet out and Puras kitchen and...
Each mountain I crest however, I can't help but look in the distance like "what's on that one?"
💖
Well shite, you could get a home base, something small, low overhead, then prance about the world when you feel the itch. Roots give you balance, at least in my opinion. I like the art studio idea. Think of how much joy that would bring you. Who am I to say, we are so different but I think you are still searching for a place you can call home.
Much love from the farm-mom.
Hugs to Pura!
I vote for not.
I once had a friend move to a community full of people like this. My friends didn't exactly fit in. They had all the right possessions, but they sometimes missed a dog poop in their own back yard and were reported by their neighbors. Once they didn't replace a yucca that died so that they didn't have the requisite number of yucca in their front yard. Busted again! Her hubby did himself in after a few years there. It sounded really good, looked idyllic, until it was awful.
Fewer possessions. Most definitely.
Good morning Owasco, thanks for checking this one out.
I don't think I've lived at a commune that strict but one time fresh out of high school, a buddy of mine and I got a house in a pretty strict community. No cars parked on the street, no trailers in the driveway, my BBQ grills, we didn't last
I have friends who feel accomplished by things like the 1/2 million dollar motorhome they pay for on the side of their house. I, however, feel more accomplished the less possessions I maintain.
I'm probably doing it wrong.
💖
No doubt. But you are happy, and brighten our days with humor, so it's OK.
My first 15 I had nothing...
Funny, I do not remember it feeling so great...
Great thing these days tho, about having nothing. They come for you last.
You remember your first 15? I regularly forget today's month.
Wassup man? Have I thanked you lately for supporting me however long it's been? It's you and people like who gave me confidence to do whatever this is I'm doing. Now then..
The other problem with not owning possessions or having a mortgage or kids or car payments or anything like that is you're waayyy outside the nucleus. That means you don't have family pets, no white picket fence or last name on the mailbox. Know what happens when you skip those steps?
The IRS fucking hates you.
What you write at times bro. It makes one have to step back and think.
I don't think I've picked a better message to wake up to yet. I'm glad I clicked yours first today. Thank you Randy.
That's quite a few "shoulds" and "probablys" man. And each "should" and "probably" was beautifully juxtaposed with photos of the oh-so-freeing open-road and outdoors. It sounds like you know what suits you best, and how to move towards such things, which is all I really encourage for anyone anyway.
As for me, I'm a fairly 'minimalist' dude, but I also like 'having nice things', and I also love communing with nature, so there's a peculiar balance for me going on there.
As usual, another well-crafted post, thank you sir. :) 🙏
Hey thanks Jay! I don't even care if I gotta stop by your page first.
I've been there too I'm sure, like most, I'm proud of my accomplishments and have no regrets. Houses as in more than one and boats and trucks and plane rides and...
I did what everyone does. Not to say I won't do it again. Wanna know when it started? Ok, I'll tell you. They stole my mothers things, an entire locker ranging from her birth certificate to the jewelry she had on when she died. Detrimental and end of the world at first. Honestly though I didn't know what to do with it anyway, I just paid the tab. So much so I even stored the jewelry in there so I couldn't see it. That tragedy was one of the most liberating things to date.
Before we left the states I had to part with everything. My records were a lifetime collection so it was heart breaking. Funny how now the two of those set precedence. I'm rambling, bla bla bla bla bla bla bla... thanks for listening.
My pleasure, and that's a solid way to live, imho, no regrets!
And daaaaaang man, that is quite a story you lived through. When I got evicted and entered my homeless years, I lost an entire storage locker worth of stuff and a hard drive containing about 80,000 songs (my music collection was the envy of the neighborhood), and like yourself, it felt "end of the world" to me at first. Now years later, I look back and think, meh, it was just stuff, no biggie.
Anyway, my point is, I really feel what you've shared here and relate to it in my own way... and the weird irony or dichotomy is that I still dream of 'living larger.' 🤷♀
To wrap up, you rock, and wishing you and Pura a fantastic day! 🙏
P.S. And I don't care that I gotta tag you first ;)

Agreed.
I'm surprised you made this conversation public. I can walk away from discord but to do so here is rude.
I just deleted a bunch of stuff right here, let's not go there. Thank you.
