Well done. I’ll be listening. One of my long goyim complaints is being called anti-semitic or anti-zionist (I’m neither) after being critical of Israel especially w the right wing Netanyahu gov’t

Criticizing Israel’s government as one would criticize any country’s government is not antisemitic. What is antisemitic is *delegitimizing* Israel. Being critical of a particular policy is one thing, saying the state should not exist is another.

We used to live in 29 Palms and now we live in Yucca Valley. We love living in a forest of Joshua Trees! 😃

That's awesome, my bro runs the big Humvee tours in JT and I moved my mom to PD so I'm out that way a lot. It must be a little cooler summers up there? I'm thinking of looking for a property there.

The summers here in Yucca compared to 29 are a huge difference. Like 10 degrees cooler.

We really like it here. We’re considering moving to somewhere else cheaper but haven’t decided yet.

Perfect! It's so difficult to find that balance of price, location and climate. Have you looked into Apple Valley?

I'm really not sure. But it's a real big development so lots going on.

Right now we're leaning more toward Las Cruces, New Mexico. We could get a better place for a third less than we're paying more and there'd be other cheaper cost of living too. Hard to justify staying in California right now when I can do my journalism job from anywhere.

Oh that's a great idea. Probably no mosquitos there, which is a big factor for us. We're pretty flexible too, but it's hard to find golf, fishing, direct flights, etc.
