karlunity Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I am back in cali and I am NOT going to leave any time soon. The Villages is a Potemkin village..a place for old golfers to die in. Nope..I have seen the light ...Brothers....while you live...live. Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I think I'm missing something. Was that the Soylent Green Company you visited? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlunity Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Was that the Soylent Green Company you visited? FC Almost as bad. This was a retirement community in Florida. The Hippy saw it and wanted to visit. It is a grave yard for golfers. karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The place was nice but a bit too nice...like being surrounded by salesmen.. karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken98k Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 One of my customers here in AK is originally from ND and is still in possession of the family farm. Last year, he took a friend there to go bird hunting and the guy loved it so much he bought a house there also. The funny thing is the economy isn’t too good there and real-estate prices are way down so the guy was able to buy the house with his credit card.

Man ken i don't know where you get your info, but ND. is one of the fly over states that are in the black low taxes and cheaper land. and at this time they have over 100 rigs drilling,the bad part is other people are moving in and driving up land prices and taxes.I still own my grandfathers homestead and got 70 bucks a acre nice place where you can still own mineral rights.just need a gusher like in the gulf.

I don't recall all the particulars but he said the guy paid $18K for a 3br house and put it on his Alaska Air visa. He spoke a lot about bird hunting near a reservoir in the western part of the state but I don’t know if that were the house was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best thing about participating in a Shuffle Board tournament is you wont have to worry about your Polident holding like you might shooting Mausers.
