title: Land for Love and Money (Vol. 1): True Stories, expert advice- farm, ranch, recreational and residential large and small. Told from the ground up.
author:  Reid Lance Rosenthal 
description: Reid Lance Rosenthal purchased his first piece of land--a ranch property--at the age of eighteen. Three generations of a family steeped in land and cattle preceded him, and from these past generations he acquired a deep and abiding love of the land and its energy. This respect, and the reality of the skills necessary to properly select, plan, improve, enhance, and preserve land, and real estate of any size or type have grown and been honed by successes and failures over more than forty-two years in real estate, ranching, land use, conservation and management.

  every day, you tend to ruminate about such things. I kept telling myself one
  more rotation and then I'd never work another oil-drilling job ever again. I'd
  tell Miley to fuck off, and we'd go our separate ways. I’d take Avery with me,
