AT THE END OF THE WORLD 1

       AT THE END OF THE WORLD

Here at the end of the world, they have very strict rules that have become laws. However lawless the people may seem, with their sustainable farms and large firearms. They all revere the laws of their choosing. Perhaps the democratic system has worked for these people.  Hell, I don’t know.
There are heavy restrictions on controlled substances. Tobacco is widely frowned upon. Consequently, smoking is prohibited in just about every public space and the majority of people will not let you “use tobacco” on their property. Drinking is not aloud on beaches. There are very few bars and they rarely stay open past 11. Nightlife extinguished.
OK then let’s talk recreation. You may not touch the turtles, don’t even ask. Beware of Bees. Flushing toilet paper down the commode is iffy behavior. Watching T.V., (everyone does it but no one talks about it).  Beaches are all public access but most of the waterfalls require a little B&E.  The public education system here is worse than in Texas so having a book club with the locals is out.  Sad (or good) music makes up about 3.5% of all music played. Showering needs to be kept under 20 minutes and dishes need to be washed without having the water running.
The trade off; every window should be a painting. You can eat wild fruit all day long any time of the year. Along with wild fruit there are wild chickens, pigs and steer. Shooting is encouraged year round. People spearfish and have cookouts. Everyone here is down to camp- Tent be damned! There are some resident young people. Lots of resident weirdos. I haven’t seen any homeless people since I got to this town but come to think about it, I know several people who just live outside. Did I mention wild horses?
