Ever Hear Of A FUGO...?

Of course you haven't...at least not many of us have. The government did a very good job at keeping all the news about them from not only the American public...but from most of the military as well..! The reason? The PTB didn't want us to be concerned!

Once again, a clear indication that we have always been and will always be kept from some very important facts, but only because the government doing it "For Our Own Good!"

If you believe that, then I urge you to read this story, or go to the history channel and watch "The Samurai and the Swastika"

Officially; in the waning days of the Pacific War Japan tried a last ditch ploy to hit the United States with a terror weapon. That weapon was the Balloon Bomb. It was supposed to set fire to the West Coast and drop anti-personnel bombs randomly on the U.S. In research after the war it was found that the Japanese built 15,000 of them but only launched 9,300. A little over 300 Balloon Bomb incidents occurred in the U.S. and Canada. The only casualties were a woman and five kids in Bly, Oregon on a church picnic, who found and moved one. It exploded, killing them all.

Here's a video that tells a little more about it.



Well, that was a morbid way to start the day, wasn't it? I hope that the rest of the week will be more enjoyable than today!

Just remember, any day above ground is a good one! So, if you wake up on the right side of the grass...you're on the right track for a good week!

Now, my friends, let's get some coffee and sit outside for a bit!

10 Acres And A Well...?

You know, when you look at as many pieces of property as I do...once in a while, one suddenly pops up that really catches your attention!

That's when I first saw this little gem. I read the description, looked at the pictures, and studied the location a number of times. The closest town is really a "village" named Climax Springs. Here is some more information from Wiki-pedia about Climax Springs.

"In 2007, businesses included a video store, a realtor office, bank, gas station, concrete company, and a building materials center. Today As you enter the small town of Climax Springs you notice that it still remains a small community with a population of 80 in City limits.in the past year the town of Climax Springs has received a new library in great condition and a new gas station next to the "friendly market"

Sounds like something out of a Norman Rockwell painting, right? But what about the property itself? This acreage is mostly pasture (pictured below) with trees (pictured) toward the West end. It lies gently rolling to level from the county road all the way to the back and is drivable over the entire tract.

A new water well (pictured below) has just been drilled on the property and according to the well driller pumps 35 gallons per minute. Since drilling NO PUMP has been installed in the well.This is a perfect tract for horses, cattle, a home or just recreation.

The pond (pictured) was built to Missouri State Conservation Department standards and is between 1.5 to 2 acres in size. It is fenced from the rest of the tract and has an automatic waterer for live stock. There is also fence along the county road and back of the property.

Just one more thing about this property. The mineral rights come with the property! That's almost unheard of now days...! Anyway, the property was up for bid starting at $25.00 for the down payment. I checked on the seller, got good reviews, and put in my bid.

To shorten the story a bit, within a few days I was outbid...big surprise! Two days later, I got an email from the seller telling me the winner had backed down, and wanted to know if I was interested. I told him yes, we came to an agreement, and I BOUGHT IT!!

I didn't want to say anything about it until I had the paper work, but I got it today...so I wanted to share the news with you!

So now, I own 10.2 acres with the mineral rights, along with a brand new well, and a 2 acre stock pond! Mostly level pasture land with gently rolling terrain and a few very large trees, fenced on the front and back.

I've said before that I'm a simple man and it doesn't take much to make me happy! This just about does it, I'd say! Sorry for the long post, but I tried for the short version...

So, my friend, let's get some fresh coffee and sit on the patio...I can bore you with my plans about the future! BTW...I still have my land in the desert. Can't have too much land, I'm thinking!
