Happy New Year. Man, you are outside of the box on that one, and I mean it in a good way. Leasing land? Yep, not a bad idea. In another country or even continent? Might be something to that. Certainly not one of my "in the box" thoughts. I've become stagnant in time. The other day was doing a phone repair in a courthouse, and out of a courtroom walks an attorney on his cell. He's bitchin out his secretary for dropping the ball on his and his family's 3 week vacation to Austria. Mind you, this courthouse is in a rural Illinois county with 1000+ acre farms, at a minimum. I'm watchin this guy and remembering skiing the glaciers in Austria when I was stationed in Germany, and only because the Army paid my way to Germany. Most folks, myself included think in terms of taking a vacation from the Midwest to Florida, or Hawaii if leaving the continental US. And here's this guy bitchin out his secretary for flubbing up one of his probably countless vacations to Europe, Asia, Africa, and you get the point, and he's basically doing it from the middle of a frozen corn field. Leasing land in a foriegn country? Oh to be young again and know what you do now. Not a bad thought. Sometimes, "outside of the box" aint a bad thing. I'm guessing that folks don't rise to the top thinking "inside of the box". I certainly haven't. Thanks, Mark
