I realize this country is in a pickle with all the real estate and now is the time to take advantage of investment properties. I'm mainly interested in obtaining properties that are a great value and which I can rent out. I want to build portfolios in various cities and go from there. These properties must be close to move-in condition or ready to move-in. I will not spend too much money on fixer-uppers! I will not spend high prices on all homes. I buy cheap because that is where the investment is. I just might hurt your feelings with my price, but that's the way it goes. I am also open to several types of deals and finance options. Just let me know. As long as it is legal.
My corporation is an LLC and I want to keep it simple enough to who I work with can assist me in the right properties and value for what I intend to do.
I also have ideas as to what we can do together and with others in order to fill homes with people and bring communities back to life. These ideas of course will have to work with city elders, investors and businesses. More on that once we get to know each other. I look forward to meeting you.
PLEASE NOTE: If you can't reach me via phone, email is best because it goes directly to my phone as well. Sometimes I am just too busy to be interupted as I take my time very seriously. I'm also a graduate student and when I'm focused on school, that's it! So, you kind of get a picture of how I prioritize my time.

These floor mats will work just fine, but I wish there was some way that your plant could reduce the strong vinyl odor before sending them. Maybe you can send them through a heating process for a length of time. I have received floor mats from you in the past, and have to leave them outside for a few weeks to reduce the strong smell before I put them in my cars. If I don't, the odor seeps into the seats etc. in the car.

mexican bean beetle control options
So, every year my beans get chomped on by the mexican bean beetle. I think the name is actually mexican bean LEAF beetle, but since they take little bites out of the beans leaving unsightly black spots...
So, who is troubled by them and what ways have you tried to control them that didn't work well?
What ways have worked well?
I was thinking of giving Safer BioNeem a try this year.
Bt is a natural insecticide (actually a bacteria) usually used to control soft-bodied pests, such as cabbage worms. There are different bacteria involved, and you have to get the right one for the specific pest.
For bean beetles I do two things. One is hand picking them. And the other is interplanting petunias with the beans, which helps deter them.
I don't know if you are aware or not, but Sevin kills 75-100% of the earthworms in areas it is used.
Unfortunately while this fact is well researched and documented it isn't something the company puts on it's label.
If you value the role worms play in creating and maintaining productive soils this is one product that should never be used.
Don't mean to lecture and I hope nobody takes it as such, it is just that I have found so many experienced gardeners who do not realize that Sevin is an extremely potent worm killer (again, because the makers don't see fit to tell us this).
Sevin and the like are forbidden in our community garden and bean beetles were rampant for awhile this spring. I'd never previously worried about them since they were always cyclical in that they'd often really chew up the first few leaves and then be gone for the rest of the year. However, couldn't get away with that this year with probably 30 gardeners growing beans and every one in a near-panic mode from seeing so many holes. In the end, I did advise dusting with rotenone 1% and the problem vanished. After a week, no fresh holes anywhere in the complex.
I plant petunias and marigolds but still get eating alive by the Mexican bean beetle. they start with the green beans then the butterbeans and finally the peas. Last year I attended an Heirloom Garden lecture by Dr. Bradshaw from Clemson University. He runs a couple acre Heirloom vegetable garden at the SC Botantical gardens and his beans are never destroyed by beetles. This garden is 100% organic.and his secret is a parasitic wasp from India that only eats MBB larvae. I also does not over winter in North America so you have to buy each year. I ordered some and this is the first year I am not eaten up with the MBB. The wasp (Pediobius foveolatus) is the size of a sugar ant. The adults lay their eggs on the MBB larvae and the developing maggots devour it from the inside out. Then they emerge in 10 days to start another generation. They are 100% effective and only eat the MBB. Adult wasp feed on necture. The University of Maryland is the only place that raises them but they don't retail only wholesale through other companies. I bought mine through Bio control in Tenn. I have attached a link below. I will have some info on them and will bring some live wasp if still around to the 3rd annual AHSC in Berea KY. this Oct. ( Good excuse to come)
Here is a link that might be useful: Pediobius foveolatus
Great tip, Roger. And I hope you can bring some. Either way, be prepared to discuss them (I will make time for you), because beans are such an important part of every members' collection.
BTW, for those interested, the AHSC (Appalachian Heirloom Seed Conservancy) Fall Conference will be October 6-8. Nonmembers are invited to attend.
For details, contact AHSC at firstname.lastname@example.com
Whew, that Pediobius foveolatus is expensive!
The 1st year I gardened here, the MBB attacked my limas. I handpicked. Then I didn't see a one for the next 3 yrs. Then last year my beans suffered another attack. I always hand pick and that does work to keep them under control but it can get tedious.
Gardenlad, any idea where I might find the BT that's specific to MBB? A google search turned up nothing.
Here's the deal with the Bt. There are several different strains of Bacillus thuringiensis. If you have the kind that is labeled for caterpillars, it will not work on ANYthing but caterpillars! If you have the kind that is labeled for mosquito or fly control, it will not work on anything but those critters! However, there are a couple of Bt strains that are labeled for MBB!
Bt var. San Diego OR Bt var. tenebrionis
These would be specialty products, but have seen them in some of the catalogs.
Thanks Rhizo, I was able to google that up. Now where do I find this stuff?
Here is a link that might be useful: Bt var. San Diego OR Bt var. tenebrionis
Hey, Brendan. That article is about the Bt strain that affects caterpillars, which is Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki (Bt-k).
Again, it has nothing to do with the other bacillus strains.
Peggy, I'll bet that some of the on line places that sell biological controls sell the MBB bacillus.
AKA Peggy, yes the wasp is expensive but when you grow as many beans as I do (I have over a 1000 feet in beans/Peas) It is very cheap and to be 100% effective. I checked out Bio-controls website and they do have the BT San Diego, listed for Potato beetle control. You could e-mail them to see how effective it is on MBB. But again with the wasp no spraying every week just release and forget it mother nature takes control.
Why is it that parasitic wasps that are uber selective are always from a different area than what they are selective for, these Indian wasps seem to eat only Mexican beetels larve, There is a Canadian Wasp that seems to eat only amber marked birch leaf miners which are from europe, how did these wasps end up wanting to eat only one thing, and have it be a thing that lives so very far away from were they are found?
Good question, I will have to find that out. My quess would be that the wasp feeds on something else in its homeland and through trail and error reseachers have found that they will also eat for example the MBB and no other native insects, but a very good point.
Rodger's guess about the wasps and beetles makes sense to me. It's analagous to tomatoes, which we grow far from their place of origin and get pollinated (well, really just get an assist) by bumblebees, which don't exist in their native environment.
My only garden insecticide is rotenone dust. It works well on bean beetles. It is completely nontoxic to humans and other mammals, although it will kill bees and fish. However, my gardens have no drainage into waterways and I do not use rotenone on plants in flower. I use a light application and only when necessary. I don't mind holes in leaves, I just don't want the plants decimated. I don't know if it is toxic to earthworms. I'll check on that because it would concern me.
Seems like the predatory wasps would be a good solution for community gardens, where the cost could be divided among many gardeners. It might be difficult to get a concensus on doing that, but it might work.
-- My only garden insecticide is rotenone dust. It works well on bean beetles. It is completely nontoxic to humans and other mammals, although it will kill bees and fish. --
You may want to take another look. The information I have suggests Rotenone is moderately toxic to humans and mammals. Studies have shown that rotenone reproduces symptoms of Parkinson's disease. It is also highly toxic to earthworms from what I have read, but rarely actually kills them due to breaking down in the soil quickly.
Here are a couple links for further reading:
I don't think that the bee is a good parallel really, we use European honey bees to polinate, they are generalized polinators, there are south american honey bees too that are generalized polinators, I'm just confused about specific critters like parasitic wasps that eat only one type of bug round these parts, and beetles taht are used to controll one type of plant.
Great information. I'm part of a community garden, and that wasp sounds like something we might want to invest in. I grow green beans in my small plot every year with great success - however, beetles are almost always rampant by the 4th of July. This year, they've not really started yet! I've always handpicked and think it does reduce the damage and keep the plants going.
username, I am so glad that you brought the information about rotenone to the forefront. This chemical has raised some yellow flags for me for quite some time.
Has anyone experimented with and observed anything of interest regarding Neem for the control of beetles? I sure have heard and read about great results but have not had the opportunity to try it myself.
Parasitism is a fascinating subject. The evolutionary mechanism is remarkable! There are many organisms so locked into the life cycle of another, that they would become extinct if the other creature were to die out. That's something of a flaw, don't you think? ;-) Others evolve to be less species specific, thereby increasing the chances of success. The insect world is full of parasites and parasitoids. Finding ways to use these relationships has been a source of interest to us measly humans for thousands of years. Hopefully, we don't see too many examples that end up with results we didn't intend! No one predict with certainty how any given organism is going to act and react when introduced into another environment.
Here's an article some of you might find interesting.
Here is a link that might be useful: FYI
The bean beetles have moved in and set up permanent quarters in my bush green beans. I don't see any on the pole lima beans yet. They've already done significant damage to some plants. I have Neem oil and would like to use it but I'm afraid the temps are to warm to use an oil spray. But I'm afraid if I don't do something soon they'll be wiped out. I have rotenone but I hesitate to use that too.
What if I shooed all the bees away, sprinkled rotenone and covered the beans with remay for a couple of days? Any thoughts?
Please let us know how the neem works for you, Peggy. I got a late start this year with beans (actually the rabbits set me back ;-) so I will be giving it a try not too long from now if they show up again. Can't imagine they won't.
Most beans have been sprayed and so noted on the calender. It was a bit time consuming though. As I turned the leaves over to spray I HAD to smoosh any beetles and eggs that I saw...it gives me such pleasure. One thing about Neem, it leaves a milky residue on the leaves so it's easy to tell if you missed any leaves. I'm sure I missed plenty so I'll continue smooshing/drowning them over the next few days.
I still have other, smaller bush beans that need to be treated. I don't see any damage on those yet. I think I might put remay over them to buy time and I'll give all pole beans a blast tommorow AM. I will report back in a week to 10 days.
Just wanted everyone who was interested in Roger's comments on the predatory wasp to know that he will be giving a presentation on organic pest & disease control of legumes at the Appalachian Heirloom Seed Conservancy's annual Fall Conference, October 6-8, in Berea, Kentucky.
Non-members are welcome to attend.
For information about the conference, or for membership data, contact AHSC at email@example.com
By the by, in addition to the line-up of great speakers, and the ever-popular Saturday night cook-out, the conference includes two formal seed swaps. Last year something like 80 common bean varieties were sold and/or traded, plus butterbeans, limas, runners, and cowpeas of all sorts.
The seed swaps, alone, might make attendence worthwhile.
Oops! Time flies doesn't it? Sorry I didn't report back as I said I would.
I sprayed my beans with Neem on the 4th...the weather people predicted the temp for the following day to be 77°. Well...it was actually 84° and within a few days after treatment, it looked as if someone had poured oil on my beans. I didn't think they'd survive but they have. It did seem to help reduce the population of bean beetles however. The bean plants that were sprayed look terrible as if they have rust. None of the other beans (in other parts of the garden) have this "rust" or whatever it is. I finally broke down and dusted with Rotenone once. Otherwise I continue to handpick. Production doesn't seem to have been affected but some of the beans have small holes like I've never seen with MBB.
I have a severe problem with the bean beetle, not the mexican bean beetle. Do you think Pediobius foveolatus would be effective on this beetle also? I was thinking of planting again, even though it is quite late because green beans are one of my most favorite vegetables. I'm in zone 4b, do you think I have a chance? Are beans daylength sensitive?
I sprayed Neem oil on my melons and squash to try to control flea beetles. Did nothing that I could see. I continued to lose plants. So I finally dusted with rotenone. Two of the squash are still alive. So I dusted some of my brassica with rotenone, because they were being eaten by something else, not flea beetles, the holes are too large. Looks like a caterpillar of some kind, although I haven't seen what's eating them.
Lilacs, have you seen any white cabbage or yellow sulfur butterflies fluttering around?
I sprayed with Sevin a month ago to control flea beetles on the radishes/turnips/beets. Still have enough earthworms to keep the moles coming to the buffet. The only beetles I still see are the fireflies resting on the bean leaves during daylight hours.
Was reading all your posts on Mexican bean beetles because for the first time ever this year I'm really battling them. They started on the green beans and are now on the winter beans. I was away for a week on vacation and that's when they decided to descend, apparently, in very healthy state. Always before, I could squash as I found them and always won the game. I'm worried I might not this year. So, we've started a great squashing campaign, and we will take no prisoners! I sure don't want to use pyrethrins--for one thing, my neighbor keeps bees---there are so many good guys out there that I just don't want to go that route. My husband, who's a biologist by training,thinks that the Bt which I use on my broccoli--successfully-against the cabbage worms will work on the bean beetles...the larval stage, of course. Even though they don't become moths or butterflies, they are truly caterpillars at that stage. So, just finished spraying all the beans to the best of my ability. Whew. We shall see. I'll post updates so you all can know the results.

"Engaging SCIENCE fiction"
Here is for once a novel that lives up to both parts of the genre's name: SCIENCE FICTION. Wow, what a concept! That said, it is only enough to make the book work, it is not science for science's sake (and I am a Latin teacher). It's not as 'hard' science as James P. Hogan or Geoffrey Hoyle, but neither is it just the pabulum of space-magic or space-romance or a mindless space-war snack-book. I would describe it as light-to-moderate hard-science fiction, as well as a galactic war story; it's also a romance, and, refreshingly different, for a hard-SF --from a woman's perspective. This one will make you think and challenge your intellect. It's not perhaps one of the greats of SF, but it certainly is a captivating book that gains momentum as it goes along, and I had already purchased the first sequel five minutes after I finished this one.
The reader, Anna Fields, is quite engaging, and though she may not portray the best or widest range of male voices, she does at least as well at those as most male readers do for female voices; as a male, I did not find her male renderings disrupted the book or made the work any less enjoyable. She was able to give enough individuality to a sufficient range of characters that after the first hour I knew most of the characters by how she read them, and that's more than one can say for a lot of professional readers. I would certainly not shy away from any titles she read, and indeed consider her a plus for any work I was considering.
"A fascinating mystery with a great dectective!"
This is the second of the Inspector Montalbano novels and it is much stronger than the first. You should begin with The Shape of Water, although this book can stand on its own, you will know then get the several internal references in the story much better. If you enjoyed the first novel, you will like this one even better.
As with the first novel, the characters and atmosphere of Sicily are strong. You will feel like you are there, and the narrator, Gardner, does a great job, so this book makes a wonderful commuter companion in the car or on a long trip.
The mystery itself is first-rate, and you must hang on quite a bit through the book before the meaning of the title becomes clear, but it is well worth the wait. Once again Montalbano steals the story though by now you'll be familiar with his motley crew of detectives who bring to light the wonderful sense of humor of the author, Camilleri.
Persons also with an interest in wartime (WWII) era Sicily will also find this story of interest.
"A new favorite detective!"
This is the first of the Inspector Montalbano novels and it is a good place to start. It is an excellent book which is more character than plot-driven, and although the mystery of the second novel (the Terra-Cotta Dog) is better, I'd still suggest starting with this book for general character introductions. Oddly, an earlier reviewer commented that the characters were flimsy and I cannot disagree more. Montalbano is not a hard-boiled American style detective, so perhaps if you are expecting Sam Spade you'll be disappointed. But Montalbano is a strong character, unique, worthy of a Dexter's Morse or Allingham's Campion, and I would recommend him to anyone who likes an excellent mystery with a non-American flavor for a change.
Inspector Montalbano is very particular about food, but it is part of who the man is, and unless you are starving and can't find something to eat, these parts of the stories are excellent atmosphere and are NOT repetitive, as I think he rarely eats the same thing twice, and may inspire you to try some new things. He has other quirks as well, but he develops and grows in the four that I have read and listened to so far. Once you get a quarter into this first story, the Inspector's character will grab you and although mystery is intriguing, it will be the personality of Inspector Montalbano and the aura of small-town Sicily which I think you will find the most interesting. I can only guess, listening to the English version, that the translation of Andrea Camilleri's work is close to the original, but other than feeling like you are in Sicily when you listen to this, you won't notice that it wasn't originally written in English. The reader, Grover Gardner, is also excellent and he does the other Camilleri books that Audible has.
As of this writing, Audible has the first four books in this series, but not the fifth, The Excursion To Tindari (2005), although they do have the sixth one.
"A delightful treat!"
A delightful treat! This book is perhaps a bit slow to start, but it becomes quickly then the art of storytelling at its best. I'm usually one for 'hard' science fiction over books that tend more towards fantasy, and also one to advise fellow audio enthusiasts against books where authors read their own works, but this book surprised and charmed me on both counts. Neverwhere is a thoroughly engaging story, one that I took out of my car when I got home, abandoned my pressing project, and listened to for hours when I really shouldn't have. So fair warning, this story might just be too engaging! And Gaiman could be a professional reader, he's that good. And knowing it's his work as I listened, I was also certain that when he infused a character with a turn of personality that I'm sure I would not have suspected from the printed text, that this affectation surely was in line with the author's intent! I find myself having just finished this with a profound sense of disappointment that it isn't the first in a series of adventures about London's underside. Please, Mr. Gaiman, should you read this, write more about Door and Richard! Perhaps now that I read that is to become a film that more will be written!
"A fantastic story, a truly epic tale!"
Sing me, muse, of the tales of Prince Roger…this book begins a fantastic story, a truly epic tale, absent perhaps the gods of Homer's stories, but lacking none of the humanity, adventure, and lessons of life of those two great ancient Greek stories. In this relatively 'hard science' science fiction, space-war drama, the authors show that they understand the workings of real as well as imagined weaponry, of early manufacturing techniques, and the tactics of war. You will come away with a sense that you have really been in these battles! And yet there is so much more here than the battles, just as in Homer's stories. This fellow Roger, the hero, will likely annoy you at first, but that is intentional. The growth of his character and the bonds that these characters forge through this series of books is the real heart of this work. Here is a story where you can grow as you listen to it, which is read by a reader who seems to care about the story, and which will not disappoint you or cheat you, but will often surprise you. As you listen to and enjoy this first book cherish too that there are three sequels equally wonderful and all now available from Audible by the same reader. What a treat! If this is not the greatest series of four books I have ever experienced, then I have forgotten a work so monumental that such a lapse cannot be excused.
"Preston and Child have gotten cold with this book"
Did I listen to the same book as most of you? I don't think so. The problem with this book is NOT the narrator, though fans of Rene may have to adjust, Scott Brick is one of the best. He does the book justice with an excellent reading. No, the problem here is that Preston and Child have gotten cold with this book. It reads like a who's who of their previous novels, nearly all your favorite characters will make at least a cameo appearance. But somewhere the story has become lost, trite, and worst of all, predictable. What I have loved best about their previous books was that I didn't know where they were going. This one reads like a dime novel. Two absolutely terrible errors were made. First they jump on the 'hero is suspected as villain' bandwagon, which may make you wonder if they are paying tribute to their fans, hating them, or are just plain creatively in a quagmire; and second, the real 'villain' is frankly quite lame. I'm simply neither impressed, interested, horrified, nor anything else by him. You can't even pity the fellow, only hope that the book ends soon. And, I almost forgot. One more awful thing...they don't finish the book. Oh, sure, I'll buy the next one, but it feels cheap. Gentlemen, you are two of my favorite authors, in my top ten with the poet of the Iliad, but need some fresh characters and a fresh storyline.
"Serviceable, but proceed with caution"
What I wanted to know before purchasing this was which translation was it?Audible doesn?t tell you, so I will?it is the current Penguin edition, translated by W. F. Jackson Knight. Not too literal, but yet it stays close enough to the original that if you know the Latin text, you can tell what line number you are on. The famous ?forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit? is adequately but not excellently rendered. You should have few gripes with the translator. As to the quality of this as an audiobook: An earlier reviewer gives the reader, Frederick Davidson, an unfairly bad rap. Davidson is an excellent and veteran reader, and many listeners of unabridged Dick Francis books will recognize his voice instantly. His reading is clear, he varies the characters well enough, and his cultured accent is pleasant. That said, this audiobook has significant problems. Recorded from a Blackstone Audio original from 1992 in format 1, and re-mastered into format 2 for some portables, the audio quality is marginal. It sounds like an old cheap Napster download. For someone not familiar with English accents, I can see why they might be disappointed with the end result. Proceed with caution.
"Walter, I never knew you"
A quirky but engaging autobiographical account, which will both give you great insight into the man whom we know as Pavel Chekov, and all that he is and was outside of Star Trek. The book is absorbing, and well read by the author. Not without a touch of sadness, what comes through most is the man?s great sense of humor and spirit for life. From his interesting encounters with other actors to the sadness at the loss of his brother, the book does what any good biography should do, but few autobiographies are honest enough to do, teach you something about yourself in the process of showing you the author?s own life. Thank you, Walter, for sharing all of this with us.
"Exciting and well read"
If you have read Mount Dragon, and liked it better than the Relic, you will enjoy this book. Child & Preston together have written horror, but this is NOT horror, and closer to Mount Dragon, and though not as elaborate, it has several engaging characters. I had intended just to listen to this in the car, but found myself so taken in by this virtual world that I put the book on at home too. The climax may remind you a bit of Die Hard, but it does not end too abruptly or leave you feeling cheated.

How to Relocate for Fracking Jobs
Are you in a financial, social, or professional "rut"? The booming fracking industry might be beckoning you. However, to take advantage of fracking job growth, a change in geography might be in order. This writer has been there, done that - multiple times. I have deep attachments with two very different parts of the United States: the Southwest and the Midwest. I have actually moved between the two regions - sometimes spending years at a time in one or the other - on five separate occasions. There are obviously pros and cons to this sort of "back and forth" involving two distinct geographic regions: you'll experience life with an expanded lens that few people will ever know. So if you're thinking about a change of scene, read on to find out how to relocate for fracking jobs...
You need less car than you think. Four of my cross-country moves took place with the vehicles pictured in this post. As you can see, I didn't use a late-model Lexus, tricked-out Escalade, or a jacked-up F250 - ever. Every vehicle also doubled as a bed, en route, at least once. (Truck stops are best as crash spots - better security and fewer shady
Get rid of everything big. Furniture and appliances are worth a hell of a lot less than you think. If you can't sell them, then give away your biggest pieces of furniture. If any part of it consists of particle board - trust me, it has near zero value. Lugging any sizable sofa, recliner, fridge, or what have you across several states is foolish. We live in the land of plenty. This fact, coupled with the Internet, means that you have access to either free or dirt cheap furniture anywhere you go. You already know where to look online for a gently used sofa when you get to your destination. In addition, you can check out garage and yard sales, estate sales, Goodwill and Salvation Army thrift stores - the list goes on. There is a kind of karma effect involved with those who move around: as you depart your current residence and leave your five-year-old coffee table behind, you'll much more easily find its three-year-old replacement near your new address. Try it!
Get rid of some small things, too. I'm guessing that you have a number of items that have very low resale value and questionable sentimental value. Be ruthless. That plastic paperweight you received as a going away gift from your Acme Amalgamated Products co-workers in 1995 probably tugs less at your heartstrings than you might care to admit. It's time to chuck it. Americans are getting a little too good at maintaining excess body mass and excess material clutter. If you have to rent a self-storage unit, you have too much stuff. Donate it.
Buy a utility trailer. If you absolutely must take something sizable with you, then tow a trailer (of course, this only works if you have a pickup truck, SUV, or larger car). You could rent a trailer, but why not consider buying one? It may end up costing you less in the long run. Once you arrive at your destination, trailers tend to be easier to sell than cars. There are fewer of them, for one thing; and folks in the market for used trailers usually need them for work purposes, and quickly.
Ship it. Take your prized momentos, framed photos, pint glass collection - and ship 'em. I've actually shipped items like these, using the same packaging (because I never opened them up from one address to the other) back to the same state where they were first wrapped up. (I guess I should practice what I preach - and donate more stuff). Head down to the local office supply store to get packing materials, then visit your nearby post office. The Postal Service provides Priority Mail boxes free of charge.
Upload it. All the photos you have that aren't in frames? Scan them (scanners are pretty cheap these days), then upload them to the many free places online (Google's Picasa, Flikr, Snapfish, etc.) where they can be stored.

My best piece of advice for any move: always take the long way to your new home. We all know people who brag about how fast they can get from point A to point B - the braggadocio tends to involve covering 1,000+ miles in just under three hours, or some similar type of asininity. I never understood this - I guess it's some dumbass macho thing. There are beautiful national parks and monuments, scenic wonders, cool small towns, and great roadside restaurants in every single state. Stop and savor the journey. Why do you need to get from Syracuse to Sedona in a day? Hell, take four days. It's a big country. Couple your move with some sightseeing - you'll never regret it. No one really gives a hoot that you can get from NYC to LA at light-speed, and I don't believe you anyway (even though I'll act like I do because I don't want to argue with you about it). Read "Blue Highways" by William Least Heat Moon or "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac for inspiration.
