ok, so that everyone knows, i know she's hot. I decided that having a wife that some people might have some impure thoughts about was a sacrafice that I was willing to make. Just think about it for a second......times up. Some people get jealous or angry when someone comments about wife or girlfriend, I don't. Within reason that is. The funny thing is, when we met just out of high school, we were both very geeky. Age has been good to us. I love going back to my hometown and seeing the expression on all of the jocks faces when they see that I have, like chees or fine wine, improved with age while most of them are declining. Anyway, thanks for the comments. Should I post a bunch of our pictures from cancun four years ago? Not...... Oh, here is the kicker....She is both smart and funny too.

Ok, just found this thread and thought I should give it a try... My wife and I at a party in San Francisco about a year and a half ago. http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/8377/couple5ps.jpg align=baseline>

With any luck, this will be a growing and learning CJ. I am using a couple of Mods and buildings (which I shall try to give credit for as they come to pass) that will hopefully add to the realism. The only cheat if you will, is Peg's Garbage Chute. Mods NAM Rain Bridge Height Slopes As of today, July 24, 2005, I have not even started the first city. So, hopefully, you can watch us grow from the ground up. History: Gilmore is provence in the center of the country. It was turned into a National Wildlife Refuge at the turn of the 20th Century. After a large and sustained fire, which destroyed all of the flora and fauna, the President pushed a bill through the Senate that took away the Refuge status of the land. This bill was met with large opposition, failed and resulted in the President losing the following election. The following five years were a trying time for the country, Global warming was in full bloom, causing hurricanes and major flooding of the Southern Region of the country which misplaced nearly 1/4 of a million people. Major droughts in the Mid-west were causing farms to fail and a food shortage of epic proportions. Unfortunatly, due to the countries previous stance on Global issues, we were unable to import food and resources. In the sixth year, a second term President was forced to renew his Predecessor's bill after a large eartquake on the Western coast misplaced 3.4 million people. Land was at a premium and a fertile, open land like Gilmore was needed to keep this countries hopes alive. This time the bill passed without opposition. Due to the countries financial troubles, the Provence was split into several sectors for development and each sector was given a meager $500,000 to start anew. An amendment was passed allowing development to start as a sort of Beta site for the rest of the Provence. Founders moved throughout the land looking for the best place to begin development. An area in the middle of the region where the five major rivers merged was chosen and the small farming towns of: Gilmore Heights, Goshen, Riverview and South Haven were begun. This area recieved the name Founders Point and would become the center of the Region. Building began... http://img307.imageshack.us/img307/4610/gilmorethumb5wm.png align=baseline>

This is insane. I have got so much to learn. Well done.

Wow, I am in awe. Your storyline and photo editing are quite wonderful. I will mark and continue to watch grow. Very well done.

Update: The new trees rolled into town on the 9:00am freight train to Goshen Station. There was a small group of supporters in the parking lot ready to help with the planting. The mayor had this to say, With the new addition of trees, I see nothing but growth for our small community. This trial is going quite well, and we have been given news that once our population reaches 50,000 we will be able to start branching out into new, unexplored territory. http://img344.imageshack.us/img344/4346/budget3jt.jpg align=baseline> http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/3394/mallandgifts2sx.jpg align=baseline> One of the most exciting things to come about in recent days is the announcement that a large retail mall will be built in the area. Ground was broken yesterday and the mayor accidently tossed his shovel of dirt on the brand new shoes of the local petroleum mogul, thus forcing Mr. Gas as the locals call him to keep his new Mega-Station gift wrapped until an apology is recieved (and a file is located). http://img325.imageshack.us/img325/2845/highrise3eb.jpg align=baseline> The Highrise on the right is our newest addition to the High Wealth Housing Boom. It seems that wealthy citizens of this great country cant get enough of that Founders Point air. One woman descibed it like this, I love the smell of fresh lumber, pig farms, flower groves and industrial gasses in the morning. http://img349.imageshack.us/img349/1161/playersclub7be.jpg align=baseline> And finnaly, the Mayor purchased a lot on the river after finding out that his idol and boyhood hero, Goob Hefner was moving in to one of the new villas. The mayor stated that, I have been enjoying Mr. Hefner's books and clubs longer than I can remember. You just cant beat the type of entertainment that he provides. I cant wait till the first party.

Gilmore Radio................ Our top story tonight, Robert The AleKing Wood, well known Timber lobbyist and beer producer convinced congress to spend 1.2 million dollars to Spurce up the new frontier of Gilmore. In his speech on the steps of Capitol Hill this afternoon he said, maybe add some trees to help mix it up. A special train of pre-grown trees will be brought into the area as soon as Monday. Also in the news, local printer and publicist group U.S.K.C. (using Stuff Kinkos Cant) stated that the new flyers to promote Gilmore are too big to fit into envelopes and must be downsized. That's all the news for this hour and now back to the fireworks response radio special. Ooooohhhh.......Aaahhhhhh........Ohhhhhhh.....

Update: Founders Point came to life one sunny day when the first farmers and their families were brought into the region by ship. This area was shocking to most of the people that were brought here. Where has this land been all my life? commented one flower farmer. I have never seen soil this rich and ready for cultivating. said another. Quickly, small outposts started to develop. After several weeks of talks, Industry leaders were able to convince manufacturing entrepreneurs to bring their production back from overseas and into this new land. There were promises of Tax incentives to those companies that would bring in High-Tech and clean facilities. http://img322.imageshack.us/img322/1323/founderspointall5of.png align=baseline> An overhead view shows all of Founders Point. http://img315.imageshack.us/img315/1040/southhaven6kr.png align=baseline> South Haven, a sleepy farming community in the southern part of Founders Point. South Haven is famous for Creole style cooking and quiet afternoons. On a clear day, you can see for miles. Sometimes, you can even see the smoke rising from the Electric Plant. says town councilman. http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/4345/goshen9ia.png align=baseline> On the north side of the industrial park is Goshen. Goshen boasts a reputation for having the first graveyard and the first school in the new Province. When 4 year old Haley Smithers was asked about this, she said Yup, last week Mommy took my brother Billy to school and then took Ma'ma to the cemetary. Ma'ma still hasn't come home. align=baseline> Gilmore Heights is quickly becoming the place to live. With it's vantage point from the bluffs overlooking the valley and it's proximity to schools, factories and the river, it is the town of choice for the young professionals. align=baseline> Riverview is the newest of the regions towns. There was nothing here but farms and fishing till that Basket company just had to have land with a view of the river. says one farmer. Now they got that damn fancy pants mayor living down there too. Next thing you know, they will want to put in a highway or something. he went on to add. align=baseline> In related news, the Founders Point Governing Body passed a resolution this week for engineers to begin work on the survey for the highway...
