I've lived in New York State all my life and have been smoldering for a long time at the quixotic (attacking windmills) methods used to change anything here. We in our small upstate county think things should be one way and the 8 million people in NYC out vote us everytime.
I was a drunk for 35 years and have been sober for three. Towards the end of the 35 year drunk, I purchased a Liquor store and operated (managed it for the state) the store for about 5 years.
Free alcohol & drunks aren't a good combination it turns out, as I was drinking a Quart of Tequila a day before the whole thing imploded. Arrested for DWI and put on probation for three years, losing the store, and about to lose a very important woman. I came to realize from inside the haze that something had to change.
Turns out it was me!
I was a member of the FSP (luking most of the time), but it just doesn't seem to be right. Not that they are not wonderful people. I feel as though I will have the freindships I made at the first porkfest forever! I just feel drawn more this way than that way.
I still owe a bunch of people money from collapse of my business and I am working everyday to try to pay what I owe. As things work out, I will be closer and closer to moving to Wyoming.
Thanx
