This cabin is about 10 miles down the mountain from me. Feds keep us all in state of alert and worry about losing our property. F***ing swine terrorize us while real criminals go merrily on their way. Helicopters buzz and guys hang off the electric poles for hours pretending to work. I watch them thru binoculars.
