When I used to live and work in Chicago, had a friend that was an elevator repair guy for one of the two large elevator companies. He was the oldest guy, so his company just figured that he should be the guy that works on the oldest elevators. Yes, he worked on the newest ones too, but when it came to the real oldie moldies, they were his. So, he was the guy that worked on this one "steam powered" elevator on the north side of the Loop. As a telephone repair guy, I had been in this one building that had a steam powered elevator and told him about it. That was one of his, he described it to a "T". So he's telling me about the guy that invented it and made them, and now the guy is worth mega $$$ and had his own island that he lived on. Talk about few if any neighbors. He had none. But, when my buddy had problems with his steam elevators, that's who he called, the guy on the island for tech support, and they would talk endlessly, mostly because the guy was glad to have someone to talk to.
Be careful with that "I want to live in Montana where my nearest neighbor is 50 miles away" stuff, because bears don't make good conversationists, and they get moody, very moody, and they do not take "No" for an answer.
I like my privacy, but I like people too, especially hot chicks that tend not to live in log cabins in the middle of a forest.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
