I have been reading a lot on slowing down, simplifying, and accumulating less stuff. Eric is/was a boy scout and is all for the rustic life with very little dependance/contact with the outside world. I am very environmentally conscious and just want to have more control over my life: where the food comes from, power generation, etc. I would also like to co-exist with nature and not disturb it. There's already enough of that going on in the world! I will let you know when we have made our dream come true and you will be welcome any time. Perhaps you could teach me some "farm" tips :-) I want to get away from the “normal” city life more and more every day.

I wish more people had the same realizations. I applaud you both! It would be so great one day to be able to visit your properties (not sure if you're thinking of a proper "farm" or not). Life great out here in the country! You don't have to be a pea-brain redneck to appreciate it ... Wow! it’s great to hear from both of you. I wish more people had the same realizations.

Eric and I both want to move to the mountains and have a substantial amount of land where we can grow our own vegetables, etc. He works from home already, so I just have to get my shit together and figure out a way to telecommute ;-) Was the above link supposed to be funny? I have one of those zombie blasters on my wall right now!! I applaud you for making your dreams a reality.

I definitely agree that the current social system is designed to keep us slaves to consumerism and our mortgages. I definitely have thought seriously and even talked w/ Kelly about the logistics of just buying a plot of land and then starting w/ a pop-up and outhouse while building my own small place. You are certainly welcome to stay with us at any time for as long as you like. Keep in mind though, no matter simple you make your living space, always make room for one of these: http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/in-case-of-zombies-break-glass Impressive!
