There is only one way left to escape the alienation of present day society: to retreat ahead of it.
Growing up in Georgia, I used to think people up north or out west were so different. They're really not. They're just regular people who live in small towns. They grow up and try to raise families and have a job and go to church and play softball. It's that way everywhere.
I don't want to spend my life not having good food going into my pie hole. That hole was made for pies.
