we're living near noscow - about 7 km off. i'm used to calling this place moscow. i want to buy a house in the wild. the villages are half-deserted (those that are not deserted yet), but then good big houses go very cheap. around $2k apiece with a good chunk of land. and how are your goings going?
And what would the broadband be like? Or any form on infrastructure, for that matter. When places start to die, the services tend to fall into disrepair too.
"around $2k apiece with a good chunk of land"
OK... Decides to sell all my junk, move to Russia and buy a little village! Though I suspect I'd die in the first winter...
So, if you do buy such a place, would you move there permanently, or is it to be your dacha?
As to my goings on, they're all good. Except for my car repairs, which were about a quarter of the cost of a nice big house and a good chunk of land in Russia.
And it's Spring this week! And been feeling like it too. Though it all ends next week when daylight saving kicks in and the mornings revert back to Winter and the afternoons to Summer, thus bye, bye Spring! Bloody Communist governments and their tampering with our clocks!
i hope to live there for some years before the locality turns into a desert. public services are shrinking as people move to bigger places (from which, in their turn, people migrate to towns and cities). 10 years and probably even less years ago the fields there used to be cultivated, and now they are mostly not, which makes the place very beautiful, but deserted. i actually need a company - i don't mind seeing other people even daily as long as there are not too many of them, they don't interfere, and they are civilized to the point of being bearable - so i guess i won't be able to live there permanently, but i really want to leave moscow for a month or two now and then so that my total time there be more than 1/2 year. i would also like to spend summers there. sell your stuff and come over, we'll make a decent middle-sized village, the two of us. so daylight saving time was invented by russians? i didn't know. it's called 'summer time' in russian a cow from moscow

That sounds promising, given the world's suddenly got a food shortage. Meaning it might become economic again before it turns to desert.

Flirt!
It's called Summertime here as well, but no - it wasn't invented by a Russian. It's just to my mind the ultimate in centralized planning. "Tomorrow comrades, you will all get up an hour earlier than today - and I don't want to hear a 'why' from a single one of you!"
Invented by this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Willett Who God I see killed off before he had the pleasure of seeing the evil he'd unleashed on the world.
I, on the other hand, have invented the Space Clock, which is a clock for those living in space. It inserts an extra hour into every night. Thus those who think they've slept for eight hours have actually slept for nine, which ensures everyone starts the day in a good mood.
I've not been following the story, the world having become all too complicated of late, what with having to factor global warming into everything. I did hear that rising oil prices have made producing bio-fuels more valuable than growing food, hence there's been a switch to that, but whether it's even part of the problem I wouldn't know.
