Some good advice.........

I want to live more green, I was raised with most of these things in practice. My parents did most of this because it was cheaper. My mother was a big fan of "just go put on a sweater". I now live in a house that was built with leftover lumber and tries its best to be low-impact. I want to build my own place someday (soon!). This is what I want: http://www.simondale.net/house/index.htm I can now be a hobbit. Hobbits live pretty green, they ate local produce, didn't drive, their houses were the difinition of low impact.......I think Thoreau would have loved the Hobbits.
Check out this Walden site:

very readable.
It could be that I also come to all of this genetically. A great, great, great, great, great (I don't know how many)Uncle was a contemporary of Thoreau. He also gave it all up to live in the woods.
I find it very interesting that I was raised in the city and lived in a city up until fairly recently. But the minute I left I found the quiet that I have been seeking. I don't like big urban spaces for more than a few minutes, I hate the mall, even Costco makes me kind of dizzy. Most of the men I know find it interesting that I hate shopping. (Because women as supposed to love shoes and shopping.....how sexist). Anyway before I come off sounding arrogant or self-important I will stop writing.
