Ranch vs Farm? Anyway, here updates

Well, Happy New Year. We spent NYE sleeping. Drove back in the rain to LA on NY Day.

I’m starting to use the photo albums at Facebook, and will be UL most pics there, because it’s so much easier.
This weeks trip was getting the Hazel nut orchard location anchored, Future House placement, covering up some washouts in the pond, planning location for the Pecan trees, Lister Generator checkout, and some of the solar gear delivered. The shop is mostly watertight, but condensation from the skylights is troubling. Maybe after the slab dries out, this will cease.

Cap & Trade Bill - ready to loose your house?

Marketable title for our homes will be taken without compensation - certainly a gross violation of the fifth amendment, though not without precedent.
“Under Cap and Trade you must “retrofit” your home or you can’t sell (goodbye real estate market)…
“The Administrator shall develop and implement, in consultation with the Secretary of Energy, standards for a national energy and environmental building retrofit policy for single-family and multi-family residences,”

Larry Desmond - KZYX essential water program

 Recorded in LA via internet.  My IP address is “floating” and as it gets re-assigned, the audio stream stops, and while I re-establish connection, I loose 30 seconds or so.  Enjoy. (sorry, WP makes me split these to very small files.)

Planning

Came across this, and wondered if I can be so responsible:

“Think of the oak beams in the ceiling of College Hall at New College, Oxford. Last century, when the beams needed replacing, carpenters used oak trees that had been planted in 1386 when the dining hall was first built. The 14th-century builder had planted the trees in anticipation of the time, hundreds of years in the future, when the beams would need replacing. Did the carpenters plant new trees to replace the beams again a few hundred years from now?”  -Danny Hillis
