Hey, here's an idea! Let's live the homestead life and be as insulated as 
possible from the rest of the world's problems.

Which of course brings us back to the need for reliable cash to pay those 
unreasonable people who only take cash, check or credit card, like the tax 
person, the car registration and insurance persons, the seller of those 
many items we can't produce for ourselves, etc. I am still open to new 
suggestions.
