Food Security, harder than I anticipated...
Hello fellow evokers,
I must say, figuring out a plan to improve food security on a local level was far tougher than I had thought. After quite a bit of consideration I have arrived at a plan. It may seem underwhelming on the surface, but I believe that if you really take the time to consider what I want to do you will understand my reasoning. Before I tell everyone about what I intend to do, a little background is in order.
One thing that you are going to have to come to… Continue

23 March, 2020: The Best Day of My Life
"Wake up Michael, you're going to be late if you don't get your lazy butt out of bed, its already 5:15."
Thankfully my beautiful wife was blessed with the capacity to function before 9AM. If not for her comforting reliability at waking me I would spend my mornings running an hour late in a wrinkled shirt and mismatched socks.
As my feet hit the floor that old familiar thought runs in my mind. "Its a good day," I say to myself, a habit I've kept…

A fact based world view........ what a novel concept!
If you have ever used or heard the phrase "the developing world" then I recommend that you listen to the words of Dr. Hans Rosling. Any of you who found you way here through TED.com as I did might already be familiar with the wonderful talks given by Dr. Rosling. Using a brilliant visual graphing program called gapminder, Dr. Rosling has set about to change the way in which the world views itself.
Personally, I was truly inspired the very first time I watched one of Dr. Rosling's… Continue

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
