the adventures of buckaroo bonzai
The more I read about Peak Oil the more it scares the shit out of me. Fortunately, Laura and I have a place to go when it all goes down.
But I wonder if we’ll get there soon enough, if we can build our house fast enough, and become self-sustainable enough, in time to weather the storm?
This is what I think about.
That, and buying an arsenal.

Here we are, at home:
My mom is in the hospital battling cancer.
I found out today that my old landlord, Donald Keyes, passed away in May. He was hiking in the Grand Canyon with his wife and a few friends and had a heart attack. I guess if you’re going to go, it’s good to do it while you’re having fun with the people you love. He was a great guy, more like a good friend than a landlord. And you gotta respect when a guy with a degree from Yale does all of the maintenance and repairs on his properties.
Athens misses you already, Donald.

I wish I could have said goodbye.
Now that I’ve taken care of my car ordeal (well, at least for the moment) and actually have time to spend here on the weekends, I’ve started to do some volunteer work. It is insanely rewarding and I am meeting some really interesting people.
