    I see it is 64 degrees in Duggins now and that you have a population hovering around 216 or so, maybe slightly larger now.
    This is a forum of friendly, helpful people people and maybe an old sorehead or so. Hope you enjoy the forum.

    Not questioning, expressing surprise you saying you were a menenite, no reason i should be, I was just surprise
    Well, actually I was referring to myself but since you piped up and come to thank of it all, do you represent it or resent it. I may have found the other one.:(

    I am clearly not Old Order Mennonite. In fact, the first computer I ever used was in the early 1980s when the Brethren (Mennonite) Church, that I was a treasurer for, bought a computer for me to keep the books with. My first computer was the same kind since I went out and bought one, a Coleco Adam.

    Actually, neither, but expressing surprise and thinking, I may have to revise my estimation of you
    since I worked with a group of these menenites when they first moved into the Seminole, Texas
    area down southwest of Lubbock, Texas. I'll tell you about sometime when I when I get my thoughts
    together. On the basis of the knowledge I have, I raise my estimation of you to a B minus.

    Greetings and Welcome to our place.
    Some of the best people you'll find behind a computer show up here.

    Remember when I lived in Nebraska, that when I traveled though Missouri, you people had all the trees!
    You could share a couple with us 'plains people'. :)

    Live in Tennessee now, so I found enough trees to keep me happy!

    Welcome.:D

    @Ken Anderson There is an article in True Stories and Fabrications Regarding my encounter with a group of Mennonites (I may have misspelled Mennonites earlier somewhere above. Apologies.).

    We call it misery, due to our irratic weather. It was 28 this morn, but by 4:30 it was about 65. Will be 34 at 3am. Wind velosity was about 25mph. We have weather & wind like Chicago. That & the Puppy Mills are the only reason I wish I had chosen another place to retire. But, move are killers, so this is where I stay.

    @Ann Shonert Greetings and welcome! Your location immediately caught my eye, as my wife and I lived in the Ozarks for 13 years beginning 1999, REALLY way out in the "sticks", Reynolds County, 21 people per square mile! Big hills locals call mountains, acres of Blackberry Canes, lots of both good and bad: Copperheads sunning themselves on the dirt road in winter, terrible blood-sucking green-headed flies in summer, they taking second place to the horseflies, which often bit my back THROUGH my shirt!

    We were in the middle of Mark Twain National Forest, 8 miles from Bunker, MO, pop. 394. 23 miles from Salem, pop. 4800. My wife's grandparents when she was little operated a restaurant/motel in Van Buren, right on highway 60, I think. Her fond memories (as well as reasonable property values, (we bought 90 acres for $40,000 with a nice livable farmhouse on it), brought us to MO from the Phoenix, AZ area.
