Zone1 I am late

[d0gbreath]

Hey late. I used to love backpacking. I need to be more outdoorsy now. To the point of living off the land. Would that still be allowed in polite society?

An intellectual is just a person that soaks up knowledge, from the areas that hold their interests.
Said to other people than you.
Welcome aboard. The almighty left notches up one.

If you want to take yourself off the board to live in a hovel, knock yourself out.

You know the old saw about 'location, location,location'?

It's a lot more important when you are going to be getting all your water, dealing with your waste, hunting and growing there.

You see, most of the good places were taken a long, long time ago.

I'm 70. My backpacking experience was a long time ago. I don't remember mentioning a hovel. That doesn't sound nomadic enough for me.

 

[norwegen]

Welcome.

Sorry I was late.

 

[BackAgain]

No intellectual would write, “There are several ways in which I am late, I don't share them all.”

That’s a contradiction in your very first sentence.

There are several ways in which you are X but you don’t have all of those ways.

Old saying: Do you fish to hike, or hike to fish?

A hunter/gatherer at your age, not something I'd consider. Can you afford a satellite phone for when you have a medical crisis?

 

[Lisa558]

I am an intellectual, and Progressive....Thanks for the heads-up.

You mean….WARNING.

 

[Lisa558]

Dictionaries are always working to keep up.

I take it you are one of the tedious and poorly educated ones.

You’re showing quite a bit of snark for a new member. Just saying.

Hike to fish. Which is something else that this avid angler has been neglecting.
How can I live off the land, when sleeping on the ground would probably kill me?

Easy, live off the land during the day, and sleep in a motel at night.

Let's call it what it is, arrogance.

This is just warming up.

Arrogance along with ignorance is a Hallmark of left-wingers.

But, it's good you are here. The current band is bleeding so bad they need reinforcement.

 

[ozro]

You realize when you are no longer with us you will be referred to as "the late Late".
Welcome

 

[lg325]

Welcome to the discussions.

 

[toobfreak]

Yeah, when you have to tell people what you are, intellectually speaking,
it's a red flag that he/she/it may be another Joe Biden/'kneepad' Harris

Remember the 8 Ball as a kid you asked questions of? Someone needs to invent one that gives incomprehensible answers to questions like Joe and Kammy did.

They can call it the Biden Ball.

Has the word "arrogance" been redefined to suit your needs?

 

[Lisa558]

He already warned us he’s a progressive. That means he defines any number of words to suit his needs.

My favorite is: racist. This is what leftists call anyone who won’t submit to the ledtist agenda.

So why does a 74 year old cancer survivor spend his last years alienating people? Wouldn't it be more interesting to engage?

There are several ways in which I am late, I don't share them all.

But I am 74, I live just outside Portland, Maine. I am an intellectual, and Progressive.

I used to be a hiker and backpacker, and miss that like crazy.

After the cancer, I wasn't in a good place, so I got an ebike. I had lots of bikes before that, I've ridden my bike across Italy, from the Adriatic to the Med; Italy was great.

I am really into history, and that lead me to people that used economics to understand history better. Starting in the 1970s, stuffy old history came to life when nearly every discipline was brought to bear on history, from accounting to zoology.

I get kicked out of most forums because I do not suffer fools. Don't worry, Mods, I've been kicked out of better, and I don't take it personally.

I will talk about books, a fave is What Hath God Wrought, a pulitzer winning history of the era between the War of 1812 and the Civil War. I had written that era off as uninteresting, man was I ever wrong. It's terrific, and the best writing I have ever seen in a work of history.

I am an old style Fiscal Conservative before it went to hell in a hand basket. I am one whole year older than you so you are a spring chicken. I remember life during Ike where there was little difference between Ike and Harry. The kids don't realize the 1956 Republican Plank

Republican Party Platform of 1956​
