The DU Lounge

and that desire continued through January 20, 2021.


That desire is still with me but it's not as intense as it had previous been.


I'm not Italian nor do I have Italian ancestry although I has been using gate-away.com to look at Italian properties for sale during my intensity phase. Particularly I was looking at properties in the Abruzzo and Molise regions of Italy. I definitely had one house picked out in Montefino and another house that was 45 minutes from any veterinarian. I liked the house and the property that was 45 minutes away from any veterinarian but it sold and I can't remember what area it was in.


I discovered that to be an expat that one person needs to earn 31K in Euro (that's about 34K in USD) a year for income eligibility. I discovered that Italian citizens only vote for Congress and Congress elects the President. I discovered that the majority of places shut down for a few hours for lunchtime.

Most recently, I was looking at vacation homes. I found this cabin that had about 30 acres, both on and off the grid options, and located in the Adirondack Mountains with bears, deer and streams about 6 hours away for a decent price. I never did win the lottery so that I could purchase this peaceful and isolated gem. It would be fantastic to find an insolated place like this to have an entire quiet month of July.
