I have a well, there is also a spring fed stream that boarders my property. I am using solar for power, and may put up some wind turbines on my workshop roof when completed.

Welcome to come visit some time and check it out.
how is your springfed stream doing in this drought......(assuming your droughty like we are a bit north) .........my springs are down to a small trickle and my creek is mostly below the gravel other than some very low spots

It goes from a few inches to over 10 feet when it rains heavily.

Spain is the most woke country in Europe. If you have kids, don't move there, they will be as heavily indoctrinated with the LGBTQ agenda as anywhere in California.
 
Not making any statement with this. Simply think it's interesting. Since I've never been to Spain I can't speak as to the veracity of the contents so take it fwiw and dyodd.

Police in SPAIN and the United States: SHOCKING DIFFERENCE ❗

I Closed My Offshore Bank Accounts - Here's Why​

Nov 16, 2025 #offshorebanking #internationalbanking #livingabroad
As a relocation specialist, one of the most common questions I get is "How to open an offshore bank account?". But most people don't realize that they might not need one. In this video, I'm sharing why I closed eight of my international bank accounts and why, so you can decide if you need one to manage your money overseas. I also share the hidden risks nobody talks about, and what actually works instead.

Even in our own country, I think less of my two neighbors who just bought land and built their houses and stay strangers most of the year. How are they a real part of our neighborhood? If and when they decide to really join us, I am completely open to accepting them. But for now, they are the absent strangers in our nine or ten owners in our mile of highway.


Some people just want their space and to be left alone. That does not necessarily make them bad neighbors.

It doesn't make them allies; or make them "part of the community." When a house burns down, they're not gonna be part of the group pitching in. And if the power's out for an extended time, and there's food to cook; and cold-storage capacity to ration...the people you see every day, even if only to nod to, may well be vital keys. The person who's sometimes there, who ignores everyone...is probably either going to be absent (if he has other resources) or a taker.

I'm not opposed to suburban living, but this is one of the less-appealing aspects: The social sterility. I've lived in small towns and major cities. Just knowing there's someone who I can count on, or maybe can count on, who's not hostile, who's not looking for a way to bust down my garage door when TSHTF...is a blessing.

In a crisis, your most important asset is going to be...people. If you have none, it's only a matter of time until you die in your sleep, or at least are robbed blind.
 

Kind Multi-millionaire invited me to his villa in Hong Kong​

Jan 2, 2026 Life as a foreigner in China
People know Hong Kong as a city of coffin-sized apartments. But I discovered a side of Hong Kong most people never see. Meet David, an Irish multimillionaire who has lived in Hong Kong for over 16 years. He invited me to his spacious villa with stunning sea views. Looks like a good life, right? But a few years ago, he hit rock bottom, had to start over, and managed to rebuild his life. We talked about Hong Kong’s future challenges, what “New Hong Kong” really means, and what foreigners still misunderstand about the city today. Enjoy!

Ever read the Bram Stoker classic, Dracula? The book. As written.

The narrator is invited to the Count's castle - his guest - and for the first week or so, he finds himself welcomed. Of course the Count has strange manners and is only willing to entertain after sundown. It takes the young guest a couple of weeks to realize he's not a guest, but a prisoner, and Dracula is literally "son of the Devil."

That's what I think of when I read/hear of someone's account of being a guest in a fabulous mansion in Hong Kong, Peking, Dubai, Trashkanistan...places where they chop your head off or shoot you close range, face in the dirt, for saying or thinking the wrong words or thoughts.
