She said it's six. I told her my money is on you.<BR/><BR/>And finally, if I'm allowed a third topic, I wanted to remind (or inform) you and your readers about the GBA(s)FC #2, which kicks off May 1st over on my blog.

The only caveat I would add is this: depending on how much of a mess society winds up in, you could find you need more resources / skills than it would seem at first glance.<BR/><BR/>Making something like this work, through any catastrophe history suggests the community <I>might</I> face, would require very careful planning.The Wandering Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404559867270050616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21629015.post-41960038909920700692007-04-29T16:04:00.000+00:002007-04-29T16:04:00.000+00:00I definitely share your dream, Debi.
