It has been a long time since I last blogged, reasons abound. Any who, a lot of small projects are being worked on around my little homestead, trying to make a livable place out of my chunk of the western Mojave. Yesterday while digging a trench I hit a small 1 foot wide patch of hard as cement sand, Caliche I believe it is called. I chiseled away on it for about an hour from both sides and decided that is where the last valve on that line would go, thus bridging the dirt from ages past.

I have been on my soapbox in other venues about the food we eat (and should not), the use of materials, nuclear energy, and a plethora of belief systems. I occasionally get interesting and well though out responses. More often than not I get short form answers that have been fed to the flocks or handed down by political agenda. If I have one goal during my life (outside of personal happiness) I believe it would be to wake up the minds of others and make then think critically of events around them.
