Speaking for myself, I think it is fully good that we have homestead  
list members at all stages of urban-to-homesteading lives. This list  
stays viable because it is like a garden. Some plant seeds, some  
nurture, some harvest. I would encourage all lurkers and wanna-bes to  
contribute when they can, to learn what they might, to be encouraged,  
to give and take as they choose.

We can address the other important issues you raise at another time.

Fwiw, I think the Finger Lakes area is excellent. If I were forced to  
leave here and live in a place with real winters I would take a trip  
and look around up there.
