My name is Dave Clingman, and I live in a bus on 205 acres in the Sierra Nevada foothills, outside a small town called Coarsegold.   Mind you, I don't OWN the land; I merely stay on it.  And, no, I am not really a cowboy -- I have no cows, and I am no boy.  But I certainly enjoy living here, with this laid-back (aka, Easy Going) life.

I enjoy outdoor activities, but not the competitive sports.  For example, I enjoy backpacking or sailing (though I have no boat presently), but I do not care to play football or basketball.  (A friendly game of baseball or softball can be fun, though.)

I also enjoy indoor activities, such as collecting things and reading.   I used to collect coins and stamps, and I still have a large assortment of each around here somewhere.  Presently, however, I am collecting prepaid phone cards.   I got started doing this when I began my phone card vending business.   All the companies that want my business constantly sent me samples of their cards.  I simply add these to my collection, usually after using the free long distance time on the cards.  (If you have any phone cards, please tell  me about them, thanks.)  As for reading, I enjoy science fiction and fantasy.
