I am building a cob cat house so that the process of building with it is demystified a little. It is coming along well; the process is very intuitive. As the author of one book on the subject put it, the knowledge is ingrained into our DNA, more or less.

So that I can avoid building restrictions, taxes, and permits, I'll be building 200 square foot buildings, adding separated nodes as time goes on.
Was looking for land in San Luis valley up in Colorado, but the climate is too extreme. Now looking in southern oregon/northern california. Of course, my friend and I are nowhere near being able to pay for it. How hard will it be to save 5 thousand dollars?

There were firetrucks and hazmat units in the local park's parking lot, directly in front of children and their parents at the playground. Their crew of 10 or 12 people were gathered around a single park bench. We are being conditioned so thoroughly that the need for real independent journalism is becoming an emergency. I suggest we all get a video camera as soon as possible.
----
I have crossed some lines so far that there's no way to go back. No one there to welcome me, should I decide turn back. And why should they be? I left them so long ago, standing there with empty arms and unanswered questions. What self respecting person would still be there after I've been so ungrateful?
I hope I have learned something about that.
