Not sure which one is Mike, but Peter Laskowski has a remote home in Waitsfield, Vermont.

This is kind of funny. In the last month I've quit driving to work, I turned my back lawn into a vegetable garden, and I'm getting 2 chickens for the eggs in the next couple of weeks. I certainly don't think of myself as a survivalist though. I just have this urge to be more self sufficient lately.
As far as oil/gas prices go, I lived in Europe when gas was $5/gallon in the 80's. They did just fine there and with lifestyle adjustments we'll do just fine here. It's going to take a while though for Americans to change their consumption habits. I kind of feel sorry for those who will be teenagers in the next 5 years and beyond. I think they are going to miss out on that American rite of passage of getting the driver's license and just cruising around on weekends. Teenagers driving for anything but errands will soon be a thing of the past. |

I need to increase the size of my vegetable garden. I'd like to grow more than just the usual squash, lettuce, carrots, tomatoes and potatoes. Corn would be good. So would radishes and cucumbers.

I planted a whole lotta corn yesterday. I'm planting another 4 rows in 2 weeks so I get a 2nd harvest (we have a long growing season here). I love fresh corn.

I carpool to go play basketball. Does that count?
