re: "The way you are building in NH makes me think that long term to you means years, maybe decades. "

It's almost like I intend to LIVE there, right?

If you're going to hole up someplace, it might as well be nice.

The truth is, if I didn't have a sense of doom for our society, I'd still want to live in the place I've chosen. My brother once walked the land and told me later that it compares with Yosemite. I don't know about THAT, but you get the idea.

Without the sense of urgency, I might have just bought a house in the suburbs somewhere and never even considered moving to the country. But I'd still have had dreams about it. Ever since I was a kid, I've loved the outdoors. I used to play in the woods every day when I was 8. And I read 'My Side of the Mountain' (about a boy who runs away and lives alone in the wild for a year) when I was about that age. It obviously had an impact.

I have yet to meet the person who has been to NH and didn't conclude that it was a gorgeous state. Too bad it's changing, but that's to be expected in a state surrounded by Massachusetts, Vermont and Maine. I don't know what I'll do if it ever gets rid of its 'Current Use' law. I might not be able to afford NH anymore. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it doesn't happen.

...I think it also depends on who is doing the talking about TERM of survival. The way you are building in NH makes me think that long term to you means years, maybe decades. Long term to me means maybe a year.
