Hey folks, I've got a squat on my family farm in South Dakota. I moved out here to build a house and start a fruit farm, hoping that once it was starting to get awesome out here, people would come join me in a communal living situation. Then my autoimmune disease went crazy, I ran out of...

Can you swim to Canada from Michigan? Oh wait, I guess you can't, because it's November. How do you get to Canada now? Apparently that park was fake and has always been patrolled, and there is a library building that is built on both country's but that is also monitored and it's successful...
