Thank you.

We are.

It is just now dark at Heartwood and we have concluded another late- 
day philosophical exploration fueled by Stone India Pale Ale and 1554,  
brewed by New Belgium Brewery, the first, and possibly the only, wind- 
powered brewery in the reportedly great United States of America. I am  
resolved to write predictions in my journal for one year, two years,  
three years, and, well, that is likely enough. Whatever sorting we  
have done by then will likely be working or not and I will have  
adjusted.

Writing predictions for the future, responsibly, entails analysis of  
current conditions and application of known human responses. Right now  
I am not feeling highly optimistic. I am very glad that I have some  
well-watered land and tools.
