All that I see on their website are sheds, barns, and garages.

These tiny houses are fancy and stuff.

I applied to Northern Arizona University's summers-only program. It takes an extra year, but it is easier to get in, I would be in lovely Flagstaff in the summer, but not the winter, nor the rest of the year.

I am sure that I would quickly tire of the hippies.

For a couple of years, the lowest pay that I ever saw for a school SLPA was in Flagstaff--$13.50 an hour for a college graduate.

It went quickly.

The other day I found a position in Marana, a little north of Tucson, that only offered $12.58, and there was not any indication that there would be extra pay for experience.

The minimum wage is $12 hourly in Arizona.

The sales tax in Flagstaff is 9.18%. Fort Mohave (wherever that is) has one of the lowest sales taxes in the state, 5.6%. It is 11.2% in Superior. Page is 9.9%.

My brother's SLPA is finishing that program. She says to expect to pay $750 a month in rent. Curiously, she lives in an ambulance, but she and her husband are looking at 3,000+-square-foot homes on at least an acre.

Weird how she would be able to park her old house in the garage of her new house.

I lived in various tents and shacks for a year in Afghanistan. I would probably spend most of my time in the library. I told the other SLPA that I could buy an old van for $1,500. She said that I could stay in a campground.

There are several near NAU!

So many complications. First of all, I need to get in, and they may want me to retake some or several classes first. Second, here is a 2002 Odyssey with 250,000 miles and a parasitic drain.
Allegedly everything else is fine, but they want $500:

Here is a 2005 Corolla with a manual transmission for "$1,395" at that lame dealership that had some 300,000-mile Prii.

It is entirely possible they want $500 in fees and I would want to have a mechanic check it out somehow. Someone told me her dad is a mechanic, he found all kinds of problems with a car from that place, and the dealer tried to get him to lie and say that everything was fine: https://showlow.craigslist.org/ctd/d...051046088.html

They also have a 2009 Corolla with a manual for "$1,995:" https://accushineautosales.com/inven...oyota-corolla/

Then there is that parts Accord...
