That is a real problem. Many times when asked to conserve we are asked to
cut consumption by some percentage. If you have been conserving and living a
reduced consumption lifestyle it can sometimes not be possible to reduce
farther. But in the eyes of the authority figures you are not doing your
part. It is the tragedy of the commons again and again.

By the way I am now in Alabama and heading toward Enterprise. Watch the
journal for more when I can update.
