What does everyone do for a living?

[horse]

Nothing anymore...I was laid off today....

Actually am pretty happy about it as my boss was the biggest a*****e I had ever met in my entire life....

Living off the land is hard and is why a lot of people do not do it. If you are willing to live off the land, be prepared to live along with nature. If you fight nature? nature will bite back.

Living off the land while traveling is extreme and gives an incredible sense of freedom and independence that nothing else can compare to. But this doesn?t mean it is for everyone. You never know until you try! Everyone has a duty to do in life.

Horse,

Looks like you have a pretty good method of living.

I'm curious about one thing, why do you have a radar detector?

The radar detector picks up police cars.

The Idea of getting a radar detector came when I got a DUI on horseback in Death Valley. I thought it would be a nice safe place to ride this expansive valley while drinking some beers to relieve monotony. It took several days to get from one end to the other! Park Rangers have very little sense of humor!

The judge threw it out of court relieving me of a big fine! After that, I thought of getting an alarm that could tell me when police were in the area, to prevent a hefty fine. I try not to drink and ride but I do ride down a lot of famous streets like Hollywood Boulevard and the Vegas Strip. If a cop is in the area, I will know and can get off the road. It's not to break the law but just to be there.

Normally, the police have been very nice and helpful. When riding through Los Angeles, they told me vacant lots to camp in and many times, checked on me through the night. Most of these places were high crime areas. I?m planning some inner city rides in Dallas and Atlanta GA next!

I guess finding the right place to plug in the radar detector( on that horse) would require a clear mind. I enjoy my beer, also. Nobody can accuse you of leading a boring life! It's great to enjoy life like that. Keep going and be safe!!

Yeah, I'm that crazy old man people like to poke fun at. You know, the one you see shuffling along the beach, big baggy shorts, flip flops, a week's growth of beard, swinging a metal detector and screaming at the sea gulls. Heck, it's to the point that I'm glad there's medication for what ails me, or I wouldn't even be able to do that much any more. I don't know though, is it that you gotta be nutz to spend as much time metal detecting as I do, or is it that if you're nutz, you just don't have much else to do with your time. I guess in my case, the clue is that I always wear headphones, even when I don't need them. That way, I'm hoping that people passing by will assume that I can't hear them and won't try to strike up a conversation, not that they would be likely to anyway, the way I must look to them.

Well fredsanford,

I would approach if I saw you using a detector. You never know what you can learn unless you start asking questions.

As for the people who poke fun, they don't have a clue. If you see someone else screaming at the birds it's probably me. Be sure to say howdy.

Thanks, Joe. I'll talk to you if you approach. Actually, I can hear people talking just fine with the headphones on. It's kinda funny though, when people talk about you when they're close by because they think you can't hear them because of the headphones:

"mommy, what is that man doing?"
"he's looking for things that people have lost, like coins and stuff".
"what is that thing he's swinging around?"
"It's called a metal detector, now let's go, don't make eye contact, he looks dangerous."

I took an early retirement. So my wife went out and got a job, go figure.

The thing is -- people who can say they are "crazy" are not crazy. It means they have a grip on reality. I can tell from your post that you're not.

I think I have to agree with that. People who are truly crazy are clueless, about a lot of things including the state of their own mental health. It is true though that I am on s.s. disability, but at my age I've earned it anyway. Besides, I don't look nearly as crazy when I find the really good stuff. Then, I even get some admiration from some of the same people who say I'm crazy. Maybe even a hint of envy. They wish they were crazy like me. Hmmm, sounds like the lyrics to a song. I'll work on that.
