    ie "The good kind"...


    In other news...i'm not sure how I ever got anything done while I had a job.

    "RETIRED" and never been so busy.

    Also. One good thing that comes from having an illness that will some day, be the death of me....I quit worrying about all the other things that can take me out. At peace with the world. Time to have some fun!

    Lots of official rules and no one enforces them, they just make the lawyers happy.
    I have non carb approved jerry cans and no one has ever stopped me from filling them or carrying them, yes we have laws but no one really cares. Now if something happens, the lawyers can say that was against the law, a nice CYA for them.
    The only time I ever cared was when I saw someone filling one in the back of their truck, I made them stop and put it on the ground.

    That is just stupidity.

    Bozeman/Belgrade is expensive. A 2 bedroom rental will cost you over $1000/month. Buying a no frills 3 bed house On a half acre lot would be at least $350k, might be able to find a condo for $250k. If you want some land around the house plan on $700k and up.

    Other areas in MT are cheaper but jobs are few and far between in those areas.

    Oh we have plenty of that here. Bozeman has probably quadrupled in size in the last 20 years. And housing is ridiculous.

    I can't imagine. It's been over 25 years since I left, and we bitched about the cost and people then. :annoyed:

    And thats why prices are so high here....people like you who are used to paying sky high prices. Before folks from CA and other high population states started moving here housing was more like $400 for a rental and $200k could buy you a 4 bed house on 5 acres.

    Same thing here in my area. The only good part of it is that my house value is going up considerably.

    Just noticed you live close, I am in Spokane. We took advantage of the housing pricing skyrocketing last year, sold two houses, one in Kendall Yards for double what we paid 4 years prior and got probably 3 times what our other house was worth.

    The wife and I bought in Liberty Lake 10 years ago and loved it. A small town feel with 3 golf courses, no crime and a nice little lake 3 minutes from the house.
    Now they are building homes and apartments as fast as they can. The damn traffic is ridiculous with only 2 options to access the freeway. Our little slice of heaven is starting to go to hell.
