Letters From The Near Future 9
the town in the TV series "Little House on the Prairie" everyone willing to help one another. Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you all, but I've been a bit busy and on the move despite a sprained left knee. Even though we pretty much stayed off the main road accidents do happen and I'm recovering quite quickly, no time to stop and heal up till we reached this spot. Stoney's here as well as his family and Louie C and Ziggy with their family's too. Our radio station KB723 hasn't brought us to much information as you can understand with things in such Chaos. Most hostility's go unreported for those who are still keeping track of human history, and the struggles that have gone on we will probably never know. For now we are hoping that the Earth is done smashing what is left of humanity so we can get along with our lives. The weather is still highly unpredictable as it has been for years, so we have built our shelters into the side of this mountain facing the sun for as much passive solar energy we can collect throughout the day. The dwellings are really quite comfortable and are starting to resemble Hobbit houses. We are strewn out among the tree line or as some call the Timberline. Years ago I remember thinking about moving up here to the Rockies because of a premonition I had have about this day. It sure would have been easier back then, but again as they say hindsight is 20/20. Things are tough but getting more organized with every new day. A few people arrive everyday (By boat) it seems as we can see down into the valley and the new ocean front property line. I catch myself singing that old George Straight song "Ocean Front Property" in my mind several times a day. Thats about it for today, I'll get back to you folks as soon as I can!

Hey! I saw a show on the Learning channel about Earth homes in AZ, WY, CO, Montana, North Dakota...It was like soooo way awsome..everything was powered by the sun for electric..filtered water from the rain...just awsome homes....I think that's the best way to go for the future....

I almost missed this Kenny. Storm took the old gal down. As always a great story. Sounds like a great place to live, along the Ocean.

i dont know how long its been and i have no clue what i am here for but i am alive none the less. the wind is like an angry ex girlfriend, vengeful and unforgiving. it jumps out from behind every rock and hillside as if it had tiger blood coursing through its veins. the walmart bags that dance are entertaining at least. i could spend hours (if there was a single god damn clock left for us to gauge the seconds with) watching those little unmanned weather balloons skip and quiver in the distance. on a lil side note capture all of the batteries you see, gold holds no worth when weighed against the comfort of a hot fire. i almost miss the reruns and infomercials and hotwire ads that used to be the lifeblood we all let pump our little biceps and rock hard abs to it full potential...

I remember I had some wonderful ideas back in the day I got straight from Mother Earth News. One was the design for a Geo home some 20+ years ago, I couldn't get a bank to loan me the money. Oh well that may be changing by the end of summer, looking for a big check! Hope i didn't just jinx it. :))

Kenny, our brass is wearing out but we can still load our own caps so we're going back to blackpowder here in what was appalachia. There's still plenty of game here in the hills. Peace again.

...and every evening some of us would sit around the campfire with some nice bud we grew and cultivated last fall in a makeshift greenhouse. Relaxing after a tiring day and sharing our thoughts...
