Thank...Jay, I'll be following your blog daily. Thanks for the opportunity to pick your brain & follow your process. I have very similar goals & motivations for getting there.

Even if your worst fears come true we will not be eating each other (a joke, I realize). Rather we would be forced into a much simpler lifestyle, perhaps to our benefit. In the US we have reached a point of affluence that is damaging our environment, yes, but also our minds and bodies (IMHO). TV is a very negative contributor. We have so many "labor saving devices" that we build "health clubs" where we perform "artificial labor" to maintain our health. What is mandated as essential in a dwelling has become ludicrous: a home thought to be opulent in say, Ghana, would here be illegal to occupy, it would violate so many building, health and safety codes. Good luck in your project! I am at the beginning of thinking all this out myself - so I will be looking to you for inspiration and ideas (as in the past). <BR/><BR/>Owen McCallOwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03564865895067847383noreply@blogger.com
