Tami -
I spoke too soon, as I have since read a bit more of Gary's blog
entries and have to adjust my former statement: I have a similar
penchant for self-reliance and tinkering my way through problems
perhaps, but probably not at all like him with his rants. I don't
completely disagree with questioning government, etc... I'm just not
as single-minded!
I was hoping there would be more material on your blog describing
what you all are up to down there... I'm reading between the lines
but I'd like to know more!
I think I'm reading that your main goal is to establish a
sustainable homestead there, away from the expected ravages of a
collapsing first world economy/infrastructure and with the many
advantages of a tropical climate in terms of energy and food
scarcity?

Tami -
I just tripped over your profile and followed it to your
blog... Your story sounds very interesting!
I happen to be in Portland OR right now, though my own
"homestead" is in NM. I have an adult daughter here in
Portland and another in Denver.
I'm at a crossroads in my life at the moment and one of
the things I am seeking is a more grounded, meaningful
life. While I *do* have land and some water rights in a
rural environment, what don't feel like I have is true
peers, and more to the point, an intimate partner who I
can share this kind of life with.
My spiritual preferences align with yours, I recently
started a (limited) meditation practice. I don't smoke
(anything) and like my alcohol in social moderation.
I might be a bit like Gary, from what I read in the blog.
I *hope* I fit your stated interest in vulnerable yet
emotionally strong and not carrying too much past damage
to be good relationship material. We are all, of course,
works in progress!
I am not as healthy as I want to (or intend to) be, a few
years of stress and neglect in my middle age after a
lifetime of easy vitality and health caught up with me.
I'm working at shifting that, but such things are harder
to "undo" than to do in the first place!
I admit that Panama seems like a LOOONG way away right
now, and maybe a bit on the warm side for my nordic bones,
but I share your distrust or mal-ease about the US (and
all?) government... I want to be a good citizen of the
world, it just isn't that easy in our current climate!
Would love to hear back from you, I am definitely
intrigued!
