Happy New Year! I'm obviously still crazy.

While I'm no longer a serious point and money grubbing farmer, I've gotta admit ... I am still farming. Things are a bit different now as I just sort of do whatever I want around the farm without chasing rewards so much. What more do I need? I have more than enough land to make farming it all a heavy-duty clickfest from hell (especially if/when I'm outta gas).

I think I log in as much (or more) for my neighbors than I do for myself now. I have 12 orchards loaded up and producing seedlings more quickly than I can get water cans to grow them all. I harvest the orchards at random times until I get at least one seedling to post for neighbors and ... well, unless I feel like planting some crops that's about all I do.

I might check the winery for sales, buy some goods or bushels from neighbors and make a couple bottles of wine here and there, but I don't put much effort into. Why bother? It's Farmville.

The farm has a whole new look since last you've seen it. I covered it with sand. I like to pretend I live at the beach and pay local strippers to come play nude volleyball to distract myself enough to not notice there's no ocean.

C-ya 'round the farm.
