A sincere thanks to all those who offered prayers and thoughts for my guidance this spring.
After a false start to the wrong area (for me) I heard a voice (no doubt The Father's, but it came in the sound of my earthly father's voice) that said "Stick to your plan." So I did.
Ended up in Lawton Ok. The town itself isnt much, would blow away without Ft. Sill, and at first I wondered if I'd made the right choice. Then I wandered up into the Wichita National Game Preserve, and ....HOME.
Ive always preferred a dry climate and landing here my joints dont ache (as much), miles of trails and lots of little lakes. Bison roaming around, got to be careful driving.
Cost of living is less and I bought a home comparable to the one I sold in Virginia for about 35% and $$$ in the bank.
The one disappointing thing, and this isn not a put down, just an observation, is that the local folks seem to have about the worst health Ive encountered. Overwhelming obesity. My guess is that its largely largely due to the high native/Hispanic being poor and lack of good healthcare, and over all a lower education standard. You go to more educated areas like the one I left, Charlottesville, or Boulder, leftist enclaves ,and though theyre liberal ass wipes, they have education, healthcare, and are into keeping fit. Same with the military population, but better overall fitness.
Anyway, thanks again to all of you and the Almighty.
God is Love.
Maggot out.
