I hate all these out of state transplants!

So the term I love, “Okie” is a negative word, that could be potentially taken by some as an insult? I’ve heard this before but I never really thought it was bad.

It was still a common insult in central California in the 90's

Every time I’d heard the term before moving here it was not used in an endearing way.

I am the Okie now

I was fueling my pickup up , there was 4 vehicles counting mine. 3 of the 4 vehicles had Texas tags.

Now, you don't suppose those Texans might have been up here visiting relatives?

Wasn’t me. I got home on Thursday.

I seriously don't think so. They've drove the price of land up just like the Chinese. Some of this rocky Hill sides are $10,000 an acre .

I’ve got some class A farm ground for sale at that price. Might even get a B&C class whitetail off it as a bonus.

It would hurt my heart to sell my place, but for $10k/acre, I believe I could power through the pain.

Where you going to go if you do?

Folks offered me $80k for my little postage-stamp lot with vintage 63 house in poor condition. Still owe $33k on it, and how am I gonna afford to replace it? I'd need at least $120k. Nobody with any sense would give me that much for it.

That’s the problem. If I sold out, there’s not much chance of me being able to afford a place that offers the same “amenities”.
