OK, But Why Costa Rica? A Story In Pictures

A question I often hear is, "Yeah, but why Costa Rica? Couldn't you just reduce your cost of living by living in a less expensive part of the United States?  Like Alabama?"

It seems like an easy question, but the answer … isn't.

There's a long diatribe about economic disobedience, the high cost of selfie-sticks, the unmitigated shitshow of state-sponsored violence, and distorted cultural values.

For instance, why in the name of everything holy do I even know the word "Kardashian"?

It sounds like an STD.

"My butt itches!  But I took a bath?"
"Sounds like kardashian, dude."

So, with the value of your time in mind, I humbly offer you this pictorial and woefully incomplete explanation of my current life choices.
