What happened this Fall (2005)



We got a boiler, it weighs 1500 lbs. It was free.


It's for running radiators, but all I have it doing so far is preheating the domestic hot water.



The Forest Service did an operation on a nearby mine,  they dug up a bunch of dirt in the creek and threw it in this
hole about 100 yds uphill, mixing it with 'biosolids'. Lead levels in the stream bed went up by a factor
of 5 (I think, at least 2) after this $250,000 'remediation'.







The cabin and crane pix I took in Show Low, Angela taught a real estate class there in September.

No measurable rain since October 18. This is the warmest fall and winter I can remember here, great
for being outside, but I hope we don't get another wave of bark beetles killing our pines, we've already
lost 30 percent.

The outside world seems to be disappearing.  TV, radio, computer, newspapers, have nothing to offer. (Movies
are stil good though) Where are all the new inventions?  The under- 40 generation is clinically depressed, and the people my age are cranky and brittle. The top 5 selling drugs are for anxiety and depression.  I should excuse myself, I'm probably not objective. When you get old and exercise, it's not to get better, it's to delay getting worse.  Why hasn't anyone
complained about our technical civilization's destruction of the family unit? My generation had stay-at-home moms,
the under 40's don't.
