Thank you. There are so many nice places, but I never felt like I was ‘home’ till I got here. I can’t explain it, and I do miss being able to take a day road trip and be in the variety of scenery like the PNW. I miss seeing elk, deer, etc, but we have moose, black and brown bears, weasels of different sorts, grouse, hawks and eagles, squirrels, porcupine, fox, coyotes and wolves at the property. Having a wolf watch you from 15 yards away while you are doing chores miles from anyone is just cool!
I hope you find your place!😀

Here’s what it pretty much looks like now even though this photo was taken in the late 90’s.
I’m planning on keeping the same blue, but the trim across the top of the doors and the back fender markers are coming off and it’ll be lowered up front and converted to Porsche 5 lug so I can put a set of Fuchs on it.
Engine and trans both need to be done so I’m thinking of building a mean 2110cc or bigger.

Here it is in 80 or 81 at El Toro Marine Base.
My mom bought this as her first car back in 74 and I’m fairly certain I wouldn’t exist today if she hadn’t.
My Dad said he couldn’t resist a cute blonde in a cool car and the rest is history.

This is pretty close to what it’ll look like other than the color.
Typical Cal-Look 70’s VW style. Lowered with a big ass motor capable of doing 12 sec quarter miles.

I assume that you used to believe the earth is round because it's a pretty widely held belief. Kind of like most of us understand that the sun is the center of the solar system etc. It's one of the many things that are a commonly held belief where we really don't have any direct confirmation other than what we are told by our elders and taught in school etc.

What happened that changed your belief that the Earth is flat. Is it because it looks flat when you're standing on it? Because a lot of people used to feel that way, back in a time frame when people also thought you could make gold by mixing urine and lead just right.

Did something happen? Was there a video or an article or something that let you down this rabbit hole?

Do you believe that alchemy is possible? Why or why not?

Do you believe that the matter that makes up your body is composed of atoms that are themselves composed of electrons protons and neutrons? Why or why not?

A lot of things are taken on faith that is not of a religious nature.
I’m answering your statement, not engaging with Timmy 🤣

Then again, thinking of the Christmas movie malarkey, maybe everything IS of a religious nature since God made everything 🧐
