| Ranching and Land Development |
 |
| One of my great joys in life, horses and cattle |

I've had two ranches during my life, one in Texas while working at NASA, which was leased property, and the one I've already introduced in Idaho which I bought after I decided to change my life. Land development had gotten my interest and I wanted to try it. Furthermore, I was setting up my future financial base, my retirement fund.
I can now say, thirty five years later, that it went well. What I had not counted on was all the politics that it would take to develop a piece of land. Not only were there rules and regulations for subdivision, which I could understand and compensate for, but there were also particular biases on the part of some officials which were nearly impossible to overcome. I have learned a lot about both of these obstacles to developing land.
