Where Have I Landed?

This place....
 Of all things different than I knew before sure makes for some very unique experiences.
I highly recommend something different like this experience my family and I are going through.

Lessons Learned first week of Feb.

A driveway that requires 4 Low is much cooler than one that does not.
"I just wanted to make sure that if someone wanted to come visit, they where serious about it."

After many weeks of rain I now understand how all these trees got to be so green, tall and abundant here.
Lots of standing water and flooding and
9 Species of mushrooms per my kids verification in the Laws Sierra Nevada field guide.

I learned our kids get
900 per semester for kindergarten in home school. That increases every year as they get older. Budget cutbacks reduced last semester to 800.
Im not complaining I would and will fund it myself and I was shocked at how much they actually got, more than I thought.
A school just above us, one that is nearly the oldest in California is being threatened to be closed by cutbacks and no coin. Those kids would have to bus down below us at something like 5am. That means kids standing on the street waiting for the bus while half awake commuters (like me) head down the hill to work.
That scares me for those kids and their parents.
You would think our children's education and safety would be our first priority.
Shame on them.

I learned I have slowed down and that has helped me.

I learned 3.5 cords of firewood for 450 bucks and a reversed ceiling fan is much better than 500 a month in propane gas.

I learned allot of people don't lock their cars, you never hear that door opening beep beep.

I learned Larry knew even more than I ever imagined.
Just a man of infinite wisdom and teachings.
He taught me more about organics via Oak Mulching and making your own tile grout and a bit about the history of cock fighting.

I was invited to a live stalk auction.
"How do you get em back?"
"well sometimes it could be intristin."


If its to be done.
If I have not done it.
I am doing it.
