Some of us live in the country because we just plain want to and try to do it as sustainably as possible. I have lived in cities and the concentrated pollution and noise etc. input levels don't agree with me or my health. We have a bus out to Danby but unfortunately it stops at 5, so that means carpooling or driving for meetings. In other parts of the world, I was able to catch later buses out to the country-because there was higher demand.

I keep asking people who live outside the cities, villages, and hamlets whether they can think of their house as a farmhouse. That often sends people for a loop, but a fair number have been able to say "yes, definitely." I'm still figuring out whether or not my own house will work that way. > I thank Wendy and Jeanne for their generous responses to George's > "spunky" comments about the necessity for postponing our meeting. I should probably clarify that my note about plowing sidewalks was serious, and that I enjoyed George's remarks too.
