Thanks, Jason, you made my day and thanks for the heads up about
participating in the the PRI forums; it is all too easy to dive into chat
in online social watering holes.

Thanks to the forces that invented permaculture, made this this fine list
useful and all the subscribers.

It was probably wasted effort trying to stimulate open, creative,
_innovative_ dialog at PRI's forum$ as everything probably revolves around
the $$$
rather than around the art and craft of permaculture and how to deliver it
to the world's inhabitants. Speaking of which for a fascinating,
candid view of much of how the rest of the world lives browse through this
thread at Reddit, fast becoming one of my mot often visited
web resources, and for daily news too:

Also this one is fascinating and useful!

Have you done any hiking up in the high country above Boulder like along
the Continental Divide or on trails such as the Ute Trail which leads to
meadows, very rocky terrain, chained lakes in valleys fed by glaciers?

Last night watched an old VHS videotape production of Wind In the Willows,
created by a New Zealand company. This is the very best version available,
hopefully still available online, used or new - found my copy at a thrift
store plus a newer version with English actors and actresses narrating.
Also found a copy of Disney's Fantasia which is delightful; lots of
wonderful imagery.
