[SustainableTompkins] ST Community Gathering postponed, weather/roads

[Joey Gates]

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 should probably clarify that my note about plowing sidewalks was 
serious, and that I enjoyed George's remarks too.

Thanks,
Simon
