When you are an absentee land owner, you have to be very aware of what can happen to your place when you are not there.

That is one of the main reasons that I try to be nice first.

When I say "be nice," I don't mean to allow them onto my place. I mean to say "hey, maybe you didn't understand, but now you do."


Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
