I know some of you are just dying to see where I live, so
following is a URL to an actual, unretouched photo of my house.
Emjoy!

Didn't the unibomber live in an isolated cabin in the woods? Just
kidding; seriously!

How far to your nearest neighbor?



About 200 yards. Also, at the top of the photo, you can sort of see what
looks like a triangular patch. Well, it's really a paved circle now, but
you can't tell that from the photo. Anyway, 100 yards to the upper left
of that "patch" is another neighbor. My guess is that this aerial is
about two years old. At the upper right is a field that used to be
cultivated by the farmer who sold us the land. and which I rent out to
another farmer.

There are a couple of houses up that way. About 300 feet behind my house
is a mostly stone dry creek bed that goes right to Chesapeake Bay. It's
about 15' deep and 50' wide behind us, but narrows and gets shallower as
it approaches the Bay. You would think it would be just the opposite,
but it isn't. It was glacier-carved, according to the local geological
folks.

Part of what we most enjoy about this place is going outside at night
and hearing nothing but the critters and seeing wonderfully clear skies
with only trees on the horizon. We have a family of foxes living in the
woods behind the house, and itinerant raccoons and possums and deer.

Trade the fox for coyote, and I've got that here in a greenbelt behind
my house - in the city.
