I figure this climate change effect is going to cause terrorism and fighting that will make what we have seen so far, pale into insignificance. This has to do with a temperature measurement involving the maximum of what the human body can tolerate. The ordinary language term for it is, "wet bulb...
It can be hard to take in the idea of climate change if you see little of it's effects around you. The effects of climate change are not spread evenly around the world. Some parts of the world are mostly colder than normal while other parts of the world are much warmer. In order to get an idea...
I have so far only discussed things about the advantages you might enjoy if you decide to live in an underground home, heat and cook with a rocket stove, and grow your own food. Now I am going to tell you the stuff about the bad stuff you can avoid by changing your current lifestyle to the...
This post is not a continuation of information about Sepp Holzer's methods, but more of an exploration of the category of gardening that his methods fit into. This category is called Permaculture. Here is an explanation of what Permaculture is:
Permaculture - Wikipedia
Here is a link that...
Banana trees are almost synonymous with a tropical paradise. This is very appealing to avid gardeners. If you are not yet an avid gardener, it is probably only because you have not had a really good chance to garden much. I think most of the human race can become avid gardeners if given a...
People in our times are not used to thinking about food beyond what to have for the next meal. A smaller number of people are providing more food for a larger number of people who eat it than ever before.
This situation is aready changing. Our future food supply is already in jeopardy due to...
The first type of rocket stoves that I read about were called a, "Dakota Firepit". They were basically a hole in the ground with a tunnel or two letting in extra air to sort of turbo charge the fire. This idea came from the Native Americans of the Dakota tribe. The fire uses little fuel, the...
People have the idea that living in an ecologically sound way has to be hard and full of deprivation. This is not at all true. People have invented everything we need to live very well, while we take care of Mother Earth.
I have spent years looking up what wonderful people have already worked...
There is one subject that I have not covered here about The Place because it bothers me to even think about it. The Members of The Place vote on whether to accept new people as Members. Sometimes the Members can display prejudice in this vote.
One of these times is when three Catholic Priests...
I am getting confused about what I have already written here about The Place because of so much being eaten by this site. You may have to suffer through some repeats until I get more organized from moving. I found my can opener, so can now eat without going to the expensive local corner rip off...
One of the parts that got eaten by this site was about harvest time. A lot of Members who do not live on The Place come back to help with harvest every year. Harvest is very hard work, but still a lot of fun. Anyone remotely able to help at harvest time does.
Some of the Members who do not live...
The incident with the dead calves goes like this:
A jeep or Humvee is driven by some guys onto The Place. They look like Native Americans. Their vehicle has snow on it even though there is no snow on the ground in the town part of The Place.
There are two dead calves in the back of the...
The Place is or will be quite large. Somebody calculated the size across it one time from stuff I told them about it. They said it must be at least 600 miles across it. I don't really have a concept of how big that is. It just seems big.
There are two main parts of The Place. One is the town...
Once upon a time, a long time ago, I had visions of a beautiful, safe place. I suppose it will be the safest place in the world, if it ever comes into being. I believe it's existence will make the entire world safer than it would be without it.
The one thing that I saw that did the most to...
The times that my critter crew and I liked the best were evenings in the garden. Our garden was very close to the ocean and if it was clear, you could see the ocean in the distance. The fog would creep towards the garden from the ocean. The setting sun would shine on and through the fog, turning...
My Ex told me later, that he wanted to marry me because he thought it would be fun to break my spirit. He did a good job of it, but it is not my nature to give up easily, so I stayed until I was very close to dying from stress.
Gardening and my animals remained the solace for my woes. I went...
My La Mancha goats had interesting ways of showing concern and affection for me. One of these happened when I had to drive to a city that was about 200 miles distant. I was gone longer than my goats were used to. They decided to go looking for me.
The places they looked must have been...
I studied about different kinds of goats and decided I wanted La Manchas. The does give lots of milk with high butterfat content and they are especially good-natured. Billy goats are known for being aggressive and butting people a lot, but even La Mancha billy goats are usually pretty nice.
I...
I wrote another blog post and tried that thing that is supposed to upload it at a time you set. That did not work and it seems to have eaten my whole post as well. I sure get tired of being so untecchie. I don't have time to do anything about that problem right now, so here goes that post over...
Sorry for the delay. I lost part of an entry of a new blog post due to not saving while taking a break. I was going to apologize and post it while I work on the actual post.
That plan didn't work. I got an error message that I can't post unless I have at least 150 characters. It keeps track of...
