Remember how mowing the yard was typically a boring but yet quickly done and easy task when you were a child?

Then you move out of your parents home into an apartment where you have no grass to worry about. After a few/several years pass you buy a house with a yard you gotta mow yourself. You think “Man, this ain’t as easy as it used to be!” That 88 degrees used to be a walk in the park, now its giving you a heat stroke and giving you attacks of the heart.

Yeah, you remember that now and curse the day you chose not to buy a riding lawnmower with a fan and a cooler and two cup holders.

Oh yes, you can never have too much fire.

My father came down to Burkesville with Norma and I to meet her parents. All went well. We burned a decently sized bonfire full of Cedar. In addition, my father had a chance to shoot an AK-47, and partake in the beauty that is the Undiscovered Country. After actually spending time in such desolate (1,200 people as of the 2000 census) farmland, good ole’ boy country, my father has determined that he may not actually like to live in an area where you can’t see your neighbor a mile away. Myself on the other hand, oh glorious primary source of randomness on this website, would very much like to live that way. Once a month trip to town to obtain goods, food et al, rest of the time spent on the farm with my wife, dogs, cats, wildlife and land. It’s all a matter of living simply and within ones means. I can do this, contrary to popular belief.

I am more at home in the words, on a farm, growing my own things, than I am driving to work four to five times a week listening to people go on about some worthless want, rather than an absolute necessity. It’s not that I don’t like technology and gadgets and human advancement, but more like there is an extreme concern over humanity’s inability to survive without it.

Do you know how to build a lean-to in a rainstorm and make it stable enough to stave off the winds and have it built in a proper direction for maximum protection, with only trees, branches, and brush laying around? No tools, just you and your bare hands, tennis shoes in a muddy forest. How are you going to obtain sustenance? Drinkable water? Do you even know what would happen to you if you ate only the meat from a rabbit that you lucked into catching, instead of eating everything from it; intestines, eyes, bone marrow? Protein poisoning is what you’ll get, rabbit meat is so lean that your body will begin absorbing itself to get other nutrients and fats that it needs, making you very ill and eventually collapsing and dieing, only a mere mile from humanity.

Maybe you should get together with some of your buddies, and go on a camping trip, and learn how to survive in the wild. Learn to canoe or kayak & how to properly set up camp. Do you know why you set up on a higher plain than a lower one? In case of rain, the lower camp will be more likely to flood than the higher one. I have known people who have died from camping on the river front because it was pretty, but while they were sleeping, a rain storm up the river, (which they ignored thinking the rain wouldn’t affect them) caused it to sweep their tents away. The children were saved, but their father drowned rescuing them.

So, long story short, look at the bonfire pictures and enjoy things burning.

1. Do not let your children talk to you in a demeaning way, especially when they use cursewords doing it.
2. Do not let them password protect their computer and not let you know it.
3. Do not back down from them when they’re confronting you and getting in your face over you trying to wake them up at 3pm in the afternoon to get the password from #2, especially if they’re jobless and are only on a computer using P2P programs all day long (Or warcrafting.)
4. Do not let them use myspace.com if they’re under 16, xpeeps.com (The pr0n industrys’ myspace) if they’re under 18 (21 in some areas,) and keep a lookout for sites like xtube.com and pornotube.com (YAY FREE pr0n!)
5. Make them watch Disney’s Goofy Driving Lessons cartoons when they’re learning how to drive.
6. Yes people are out to get your children online, no you aren’t crazy for wanting to protect them, yes you are annoying when you demand that I do it all for you, yes this would cost you around $150 for in house support from a pc pro, no you aren’t paying me to do that much for you. So don’t give me heck when I don’t have the answers for you.
7. Do not give your child a cellphone until they’ve had their drivers license for a year, and then, only give them one that can dial 911 or your number, and no text messaging. Also make sure it doesn’t have a camera on it.
8. You don’t want to know what your kids are doing with that webcam and their IM’s. So don’t ever give your kids a webcam.
9. If you don’t keep up with technology yourself, especially that which your children know and love, you will have many misunderstandings with catastrophic consequences.
10. Don’t let your children study in America
