Not much more to say, really, but thanks.

I have three trees to get cut- hiring a service, I do not have the skills or ambition to do so myself, and I have a bucketload of other crap going on. I just want to get it all under wraps before winter sets in. Ed Hering visited for a while on Sunday, which made it relaxing, and he’s not offended when I talk with him but keep working. it was a very nice visit. I wish there were more time for that kind of thing.

I look sometimes at the vacant land behind the pond and think about having a small two story cottage there, a sort of a monks cell. I think I can live so cheaply as to be almost free. I don’t have any fantasies about “off grid” but the idea of minimizing my footprint appeals. Don’t think I can talk the wife into it though.
