I never caught up with my school work.
My mom died of cancer right before my eyes.
My 30th birthday came and went, packing up tons of shit.
And I sent Scooter off to his new home.

Can this be the last time I have a week like this?
(It did, however, confirm that Laura is the BEST)
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:


A year ago today I was on my bike trip from Georgia to Texas…
Day 9: Bay St. Louis, MS to New Orleans, LA
Unreal.
A group of us from NCSU went to Uruguay from December 7-17th to visit a variety of organic farms and to establish relationships for future studies. Since the climate there is similar to NC, there are a lot of practices that can be used in both places. We saw a lot that impressed us, and a few things that could be improved. This year, a few Uruguayan students are coming to NCSU as part of an exchange program. Yay!
Here are some pics.
The rest are in my CEFS in Uruguay set on Flickr.
