Urban Survival

In just about every area of my life, I have to be constantly seeking more knowledge. My philosophy on knowledge, often times we have to empty ourselves of the wisdom and knowledge that we "think" we have in order to grow. So I thought maybe focusing on urban survival skills in the next couple of weeks might be a good time to learn some new skills. Kody Lundin is a good teacher on this subject and an interesting character as well. Check out his video on YouTube:

Stuck in my head




I have Reuters as my home page so every time I visit their website and see this horrifying image of the Pelican covered in oil, my heart sinks inside of me. Perhaps because that image only reaffirms my belief that humans are recklessly destroying the environment and (for the most part) the earth.

Rain barrels


These are the rain barrels we have been using to water the garden. We have four (65 gallon) barrels and would like to get two more to place on the other side of the house.
