That’s how all these pub states are run.
Wanna talk about some cities?
Inner city Baltimore?
North (and other parts) of Philly?
Detroit?
Ran well huh?
Apparently, better than Alabama
Living at a fish camp is like living in a “Summer camp” for adults. Where else is your water bill $16 dollars a month? Where else do you access to so many delicious fish, craps, shrimp, oysters, crawfish? Where else is theft almost unknown; your neighbors guard your property. When your rent for waterfront living is less than $200 a month, your water bill is $16, most camp dwellers have plenty of money for boats, trucks, ATVs, canoes, guns, and entertainment.
This remarkable lifestyle is being recognized by smart even high educated people. My friend Gerald who is lecturer at the University and former currency trader on Wall Street is now building a luxury cabin at the camp. With Gerald, there are now three Jews in camp improving diversity. I myself prefer living at the camp to my nine bedroom Mediterranean mansion on Pensacola Beach. My power bill on the beach may soon be $1,000 a month. On the beach, my water bill is a minimum $100 whether I use any water or have the water turned off at the meter. Saltwater flyfishing is much tougher than in freshwater, and you need more expensive gear. In the Delta, I can catch 100 good, tasty fish in a day, and I only catch a few cobia a year in the Gulf.
There isn’t much poverty in Baldwin County. It is the wealthiest county in the state. The same is not true of Mobile County. When I go to Mobile, I carry my concealed firearm. Mobile is something like New Orleans. Go two blocks outside of an affluent neighborhood and you wind up in one of the hoods or as they call them in Europe “No Go Zones.”
Outside of bigger cities, living in Alabama is flat out wonderful. People are kind even those fleeing Chicago. Chicago people cannot believe they put up with liberal tyranny for so long. They love the Crimson Tide. They love not having to lock their homes.
I know because I’m sure those comments weren’t made by someone that leans left? And I’m sure it’s as absolute as the title of this jerkoff, “neutral” posts indicates huh?
Holy crap bikki, install solar panels! Not only do they shade the roof and keep it cooler, but with that electric bill they will pay for themselves in 2 years. Even if Florida may not encourage it as much, solar is definitely worth it. My power bill in Los Angeles for the last 6 years has been $0 a month year round.
Yea, and this may not be a concern for an older gent like bikki, but the challenge is if you are going to sell the home. It can effect marketability depending on the deal you arraigned with the vendor.
What deal? Are you talking about using a solar company as your service provider (ie. they own the panels and bill you?)
I own my solar outright. The panels significantly increase my home value, since anybody making the purchase would then enjoy free electricity.
Correct. If leased it becomes a real problem because the new buyer has to assume the cost.
If owned then I agree. If it works for you financially it’s a win.
The only pain in the ass in that case is if you have a roof issue. Makes maintenance, repair, replacement so much more difficult. Real pain in the balls.
That’s a great idea 305, but I plan on selling the beach house. It’s too big for just me 9 bdrms and 6 baths, 7,700 sq ft. I am going to build a new, smaller home on four acres on Escambia Bay. I own the street leading into the property, and I will put up lavish Italianate gates on the road.
My new house will be one of Mediterranean splendor. It will have gorgeous gardens with columns and arches palm adorned with flowering bougainvilla. It will be solar powered but the panels will be in a corral away from the home. The solar power will also be used to heat the pool which will be a long lap pool. I plan on swimming all winter. It will have a six car garage and a 300 foot dock. At the moment, I have been clearing the land with my chain saws and Bob Cat. Clearing four acres is a task at my age. I turn 80 next year. The new home will sit on cement piling and will have a huge covered porch facing the bay. I figure that from the monies I receive for the beach house, I can build the new one and still have a million left over that I’ll use to spoil women.
You’re so transparent.
That sounds very tacky, bikki, if I’m being honest.
But who am I to tell you how to enjoy your new, SMALLER, 6-car garage home…
305, Most houses built on pilings have considerable utility area underneath, most often used as garages. Nothing extraordinary here on Pensacola Beach to have a six car garage.
Tacky is a poor word choice to describe timeless Mediterranean architecture and gardens. You live in California where there is a profundity of classic homes.
Here are some exquisite homes in Nice, France.
So transparent. So sad.
Eh, gaudy Mediterranean columns look really bad on US homes. They’re a staple of every tasteless McMansion I see, built by homeowners with delusions of grandeur. You would fit nicely in one.
“Alabama has the worst poverty in the developed world”
Just laughing at this headline again.
I don’t think the deep poverty in Alabama is especially funny. But maybe some people are a bigger fan of raw sewage than I am.
Trash is trash. Can’t be fixed.

Wow…I can see both your halos shining from miles afar!!
