What I like the most about where I live is there are only 127 people in the town all total.
Everybody knows everybody and if something happens and a person needs help the town is there to help. My closest neighbor is a 1/2 mile away and for a neighbor you couldnt ask for a better one. I don't have PG&E I run my house off of a generator and solar power, I also have
a pelton wheel that generates power from water. I dont have any heat in my house except for
a wood stove, and the stove takes on the average 5 to 7 cords of wood a year to heat the house
in the winter. The only bad thing about needing that much wood is I usualy have to start collecting wood in May and hopefully can finish by September 0r October. During the winter
I spend alot of time removing snow and working on things that can be done inside.
During deer season I try to get a deer for my winter food, because sometimes I cant get out
to go to town to get real food or meat. Most people cant live like I do because they need stores
and other people around to socialize with. I don't care about socializing much because most people I know have to drink to feel social. As for stores I know we need them for certin things
but as a rule I only go to the store when I have to.

As for what I would change I would like to change the fire department. The fire department
is volunter and most of the volunters only show up when they want to. The reason being is
because they are usualy to drunk to respond. During the summer there are alot of water
rescues because people ignore the warning signs.
