UPDATE
My regular daily article for Wednesday is below this entry, just scroll down. I tried to sell my junk land lots ten months ago with no takers. Let's try again with a lower price. I can't imagine leaving Nevada, so why bother keeping them? Descriptions to follow. I've turned the first three years and three months of Bison Blog into a free e-book. Go to http://www.bisonpress.com/ for the link. 1800 pages to wade through. No index, no table of contents, no organization. If you want to, I'll split the profits if anyone wants to do a "Best Of", organized, etc. I don't have the time. Beware, low profits! I get $25-$35 a month for ALL my e-book sales combined. Not bad for $1-$3, minus 20% fee, books, but still not a fortune. Also, I'm blogging again on my film review page. Today's-Zombieland. http://www.bisonfilms.blogspot.com/
MY LOTS
I am selling my two lots, one in east Arizona and one in east Texas. They are both very small, suitable for a cabin or trailer. I am selling below my cost. Factoring in inflation alone I should be selling them for twice what I paid. However, as I can never realistically expect to see them it seems foolish to keep them. Plus, I bought them sight unseen. I have no way of knowing how good or bad they are. I don’t know if the claims made about them are true. So, by selling them cheaply I am pricing in the possibility of misrepresentation from those I bought from. My descriptions below are as I was told, not as I have seen or can guarantee. Also, part of the price is you are required to do all paperwork. You must figure out how to get a deed filled out. You do the paperwork, send it to me to sign, I send it back to you. You file it, you pay all fees. If I wanted to be bothered figuring out how to do the paperwork I would have listed these on E-Bay for a lot more money. The last time I checked both areas had lots in excess of a thousand dollars, at a minimum. So don’t ask me to lower the price. I’ll sit on them before I do that. I paid $450 for the Arizona lot, I’ll sell it for $250. I paid the same for the Texas lot, but I bought title insurance for it ( which I got ripped off on from First American ) so I have a total of $700 into it. I’ll sell it for $400. Go on E-Bay, I don’t think you’ll find land anywhere as cheap.

The Texas lot is in Henderson County, about sixty miles east of Dallas/Fort Worth. It is next to Cedar Creek Lake, just off the junction of roads 334 and 274. Gun Barrel City is five miles away ( has a Super Wal-Mart there ). It is two trailer lots, end to end long ways. I don’t have the measurements anymore, just imagine a mobile home lot in a park for the dimensions. I have been taxed both by Henderson County and Kaufmann County. I don’t know if Kaufmann is a scam or if there is a weird duel county property tax for schools of something. I paid it since it’s under $5 a year. Just something to be aware of. The lot is supposed to be zoned for trailers, with the utilities available for hook up on a dirt road alongside the lot. Beware that the area has double the national unemployment rate, and that was years ago before the current Troubles. Tax # 3715-0000-3410-500. Lot 341 and 341A, Oak Tree Estates.

The Arizona lot is in Apache County. It is thirty miles from St. John’s and Show Low. At the intersection of Hwy 60 and 61. From Hwy 61, turn off at Little Ortega Lake and drive ten miles over dirt roads to the subdivision. From Hwy 60, it is five miles from Vernon ( one assumes a VERY small “town” ). I can’t imagine the roads are still in good repair. Perhaps the county roads, but certainly not the subdivision roads. But I don’t know. If I were you I would assume you need to hire someone to find the lot. Lot is eighty feet by 145. It claims to be zoned for travel trailers but I have my doubts as no other land in the county was. They all wanted mobiles or stick built. But perhaps since it’s not been invaded by Yuppies yet…Tax # 107-35-477. Concho Lakeland #6, Lot 2, Blk 18

I have maps, but they are fuzzy Xerox copies. I’ll send them with purchase if needed. Let me know if you have questions, but I think I’ve given you as much as I know. Jim jimd303@netzero.com

Be careful of those property taxes when they do that, we just got stuck 4k because they goofed in such a fashion.
I might be interested in your Texas land. Could you download Google earth, (it's a free download) and locate the property via GPS coordinates? If you take your pointer and point at the property it should show you the coordinates. I would like to check out the area it is at via Google Earth.
Thanks.
You are going to have to go through the county web site for maps and such, sorry.
I have a freind who is interested in buying some land in the U.S like what you have for sale. Do you have a link or can you suggest a site to view the property?
The Doom is thick out there...
I'm in the process of dropping off of the Internet. I'll write down your addresses so I can still send ya the odd letter. I'm at the library, lost internet at home, so it goes. I'm amazed I'm on the 'net now, except the library is on a gov't server and thus not under attack I guess.
Welcome to Deflationworld! Everything is selling cheap, cheap, cheap, and soon human life to be cheapest of all. Plenty of people out there could buy your land on a credit card, but woops, no credit card any more. Or house, car, or anything they can't carry on their back and didn't get stolen out of the homeless shelter. I used to make $70k-$80k a year, now it's a few thousand, IF this year goes well. Prepare for DOOM.
As I keep saying, you're a genius writing prime Doom, but you're not doomy ENOUGH. How are you going to survive when your job goes away? How are you going to survive when $10 a bag wheat berries go away? This may not be the easy-to-put-off decade in the future, it may be NOW. As in, this year. I know you're busy but are you preparing NOW? Are you adding wild caught or foraged foods to your diet? Have you planned for when that $20 a year or so property tax becomes something you have to work 6 months to save?
Rimfires. Lousy for MZB sized game but great for hunting and assassinations. Have you got any? Old bolt .22s may still be in pawn shops where you are, I'd get a few if I were you. And ammo. Ammo's drying up where I am, but may still be easy to get where you are. Get it. Bury it. Treasure it.
Older comms. The Internet is dying. I think it's under attack or Google's empire is. I'm on a gov't computer at the library right now, everything else is down. Get into radio, CB, police scanners, etc. I just got a scanner I can listen to a ton of stuff on, cash, no paper trail. I get everything cash, no paper trail. Police scanners are for fat, nose-picking basement dwellers with no social skills. They're also for people who want to know what the fuck's going on around their area. I'm an Extra class ham op and if life goes well, I'll never have to transmit again. Basically hams are the former, basement-dweller types. No community in the ham community. I'm ashamed to admit I'm a ham. But at least I know how to put together a hell of a listening post. Even old $5 garage sale scanners are great, as long as you're not getting the old dinosaurs with plug in crystals you're good. I'm ashamed to admit I was up at 2AM listening to the cops chasing high school kids and oddballs in dark blue hoodies around in the fog, but already, and I haven't spent the time programming the bugger yet, I have some idea of what goes on around my 'hood while I was assuming all the normals were in bed. A few oddballs and lots of 'narks' with prying eyes. Shit, who cares if HS kids hang out and talk in the schoolyard at 0'dark thirty? It turns out someone does, so the schoolyard may not be a good place to hide out if ever out at 0'dark thirty myself. Or, a good place to assume my vehicle may be safe for a few hours. The most measly bit of penny-ante info is important and will be more so these days.
Plus a scanner and shortwave etc is entertainment when the internet's gone. And it's gonna be gone soon.
I'll check in again when I can. Probably going to be more seldom now. Off to write your addresses down. Bye for now.
