MMe M -- I would ask you to accept my apology here. You obviously have many skills that would be very valuable in a community.

I have carried water every day for seven years. That is, I don't have running water in my house, a thing most people consider "going backward". In fact, most people think I'm crazy to live this way, so I rarely talk about it. I guess I'm just saying that it is possible to live with pre-modern conditions with no feeling of lack or want or wishing it were otherwise. Frankly, I am grateful that there is water here at all.

I am all for lightening our burdens when possible.
