LOL,,,, Not firearms for this particular regret, but a lost opportunity in property I sure wish I had a time machine.
As a teenager and earning pretty good money at that time, if only I could've seen ahead.
A locality that I used to frequent for surf fishing, was about 1/2 hr drive from the nearest town.
The land that followed along behind the sand dunes (which were only about 3 dunes wide) was owned by an old hermit.
He had his cabin built right on the edge of the dunes, and a simple 5 min walk through the dunes landed you right on one of the best surf fishing beaches in Sth Aus.
Well the old fellah died, and his property (approx. 200 acres) was put up for sale. (even back then it was real cheap)
I thought that if I bought it I could run a few sheep on it, and have good fishing access.
But the area was pretty dry and no-one else was interested either.
So I never followed through.
That land stayed unsold for a couple of years by memory.
Now ( because it is Terra Rossa soil ) all of that land plus all of the other adjoining land for about 12 kilometers, is under grape vines and worth a fortune.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,,,,,,, if only,,,,,,,
I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!
I've come to realize that,,,,, the two most loving, loyal, and trustworthy females in my entire life were both canines.
