How close do you relate to your ethenicity?

It seems like everyone is moving to Colorado. This used to be a relatively quiet, sporty state where a majority loved the outdoors. Now we have so many who don't assimilate. Getting crowded here, for real.

And all those outdoor spots.... they are getting trashed. For the first time in forever, lots of peoole are vandalizing hiking trails, etc.
And one trail we used to hike now has a 3 hour wait to begin the ascent... AFTER you've made a reservation!

And its costing $45 vs $5 to get into national park land... guess they need more employees to manage the influx of people (and their garbage)

I live in the lakes, so our year round population is pretty low compared to the rest of the country, but we get a LOT of visitors, mainly city dwellers, and a lot of them bring their city ways here, they park like bell ends, they leave litter everywhere, they lack respect and you can normally spot one a mile off.
And all through summer it's swarming with people.
It's difficult to find solitude in the mountains with so many others around.

I had set out to go up England's highest mountain this August.
I got to the bottom of it, looked up and saw a snake of people going up and down.
I turned round, jumped in the car and went somewhere else.

This is gonna be an unusual one, but appropriate for this site.

Accident means it was non-intentional. Regardless of the chemicals found in his blood (If it was tested at all) or contents of his stomach, one will never ever know what was going through his mind at the time of the accident.

Accidents have a cause, not a purpose.

This was written in the paper the day after it happened, so to write accident would just be presumed at that stage.

The inquest would show all details.

Yes.

When you look at what happened on the last day of his life, it does not reflect rational thinking on his part. For one reason or another, he was at the end of his tether--and it could have been drugs, or alcohol, or a combination of the two.

Or he could have just said to himself, "The hell with it."

I had a brother-in-law to commit suicide. His wife had been having an affair with their pastor. The wife, a real shrew, was divorced him and took the kids--and was getting the house he built with his own hands. Then he wrecked a second vehicle. He opened the glove box, took out a .44 magnum revolver, walked into the woods and shot himself. He figured he had lost it all.

So just before pulling the trigger, he must have thought, "The hell with it."

His ex-wife is now living in the house he built, and if what happened affected her at all, she has not shown it. I cannot imagine how she could live there after all she had done to him. She is very likely a sociopath, and cannot empathize with others.

I advised him to go after the pastor with a lawsuit, which he did. The pastor, sensing the noose tightening around his neck, went into his garage, started his car and sat in it until the carbon monoxide took his life.

It was all like a Greek tragedy--you know, those plays where everyone dies.

I was going through my own trials and tribulations at the time, so wasn't any real help to my brother-in-law. It is something I will always regret.

But we cannot bring people back or change the past. All we can do is change the future . . .

. . . and believe that somewhere, somehow, sometime,God is going to right all wrongs and wipe away all tears, and bring us all to a better place.

Thank you Sherlock.

And well written.

If he did do this on purpose, that does seem like the type of method he would have chosen.

I grew up in a corn field in Indiana, it was kind of redneck just a bunch of farmers in jacked up pick up trucks with guns.. ha ha. And my dad was the veterinarian who worked on everybody's horses, cows, and pigs so I knew everyone. Or at least they knew me, I was the little kid that always rode around with him and held the pigs while he castrated them.

But when people think of the north they think of New York or Chicago or Detroit. These big giant concrete jungles that are nothing like the midwest cornfields and farms. Yeah I am the poster child for middle America. If you look "deplorables" up in the dictionary my picture is there.

You couldn't pay me enough to spend any amount of time in the south of England, it's way too busy and too many buildings.

But I'd spend an endless amount of time in the southern states of USA.

I have visited a few places in North America, hated new York for how big and busy it is, but apart from Florida I haven't been to the south.

Would you rather be intelligent and live a lifetime being poor or be not that academic and be wealthy for life?

What are you relying on for your wealth? Thinking smarter or working harder?
Usually, your labor is tandium to your wealth.
Most of the time.

I work way too hard to be this poor!!

And here I thought all along that you were Scottish. You're a born again rebel too.

Haha

That's cos I moved there around 21 yrs old, and spent a long time moving all over there.

I was living in Scotland when I joined original help, and honestly never thought I would return to England.

If I hadn't settled into such a remote pretty part of England I would have run back to Scotland a long time ago.
