Christmas in 2020
Its December 24th in 2020 and I'm home on my vacation from Peace Corps in Africa. Back at home we're sitting in my grandmother's living room. Her tree has no lights, but is decorated beautifully, as is the rest of the house. Her house is mostly solar powered so to conserve the electricity the house is mostly lit with candles which also sets a more intimate scene and seems to bring us all closer together.

We spent all day researching which foods were best for us and easiest to grow for beginner gardeners and our climate. Ultimately the operation was a success. Now affording organic food shouldn't be as hard because its in our own back yards! I already eat pretty well but I'm taking my own advice and working on improving by cutting out most of the meat in my… Continue

Fourth of July on the Lake
This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
