I am not, however, writing my views on SS and the economy in a kidding

Well, that is deathly serious. I'll have to mull that.

I am frustrated with time-wasting nonsense and that frustration is coming out. There are happenings today that are more serious than anything I have seen in my lifetime of seventy-two-plus years. I don't want to get bogged down in them but I would like to engage with people like yourself who study and ponder and are groping for answers to real- life issues that will affect we homesteaders. I don't think the world economy is going to crash. I don't think the USA is going to go bankrupt. I certainly might be wrong.

I want to know enough to make the right decisions to continue to live as happy a life as possible. I have almost all the pieces in place now relevant to what I think makes sense for full-time happy homesteading at Heartwood. But only a fool thinks he knows it all or even most of it. Life is never static. I expect ongoing change and will continually seek better ways.

I always seek balance. Right now I seek the best balance between what is and what might be.

I asked Don and I will ask you: do you know of other lists where I might be more comfortable?
