The whole subject has been my mental foil for the past month while I have been making necessary repairs to one of the most important parts of my moving castle...the part that could put me in prison for vehicular homicide if something goes wrong....the running gear.</span><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> This is my 3rd time's the charm assembly. I am tasking myself with taking full responsibility, and giving myself enough time to do so.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> The 1st assembly was done by the 2 people I was working with at the time. They put it together while I was at work, as a nice surprise, but they didn't measure twice.π The distance between the center to front and center to rear shackle hangers was not the same, 1 was 28" from center, 1 was 29" from center, which caused them to hang unbalanced as I kept building and weight was added. At least they were equally wrong on both sides.π</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">A few years later I also needed more clearance for the tires. I wasn't parked on level ground at the time, in more ways than one. I was working for a non-profit environmental organization, and one of the board members offered to let me park at the back of his property....where I discovered in closer quarters he is an alcoholic who started sexually harassing me. I was hit by a car for the 1st if two times while riding my bike out there, then I fell off a waterfall quite by accident. I over estimated my physical strength while climbing near one and fell into and down it. After recovering enough from all this to be able to address the issues that kept me trapped with that creep I was more than anxious to get my house out of there.</span><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The 2nd time this was built (1st time by me) I was in a hurry and made the faulty assumption that the current position was basically right, just kinked due to the ground. I was very wrong.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">This is the near conjunction of the moon, Venus and Jupiter of February 22nd, 2023. </span></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ8M8PzfgzAuECSxYLHn1wQ__-YmQJxK4eYSKRANVYxObbocmQ_0C9KoStf4URj6P_srOAtfF1lflNk-sjfVUPaZFe9G7Z4_Oz1UxoZhys9q-HZGVO-w91GFVIG5xJh88UBqeLw1ytqNVEKklPTXzR9Xd2B1wX2D388M3rFlO_95z1_W7vX84PCHyJWA/s2048/IMG_20230310_095640.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ8M8PzfgzAuECSxYLHn1wQ__-YmQJxK4eYSKRANVYxObbocmQ_0C9KoStf4URj6P_srOAtfF1lflNk-sjfVUPaZFe9G7Z4_Oz1UxoZhys9q-HZGVO-w91GFVIG5xJh88UBqeLw1ytqNVEKklPTXzR9Xd2B1wX2D388M3rFlO_95z1_W7vX84PCHyJWA/w300-h400/IMG_20230310_095640.jpg" width="300" /></span></a></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Now, under more auspicious stars, and with the conviction that my years of experience in construction and as an over the road trucker I am competent to fix this right.

Having regained all my physical strength and mobility, and especially able to enjoy running again, the screws were backing out of my bones, protruding up from under my skin.

I would like to say:</p><p>Yes, it is very painful to live through and recover from orthopedic trauma and invasive surgeries. However, the ongoing pain and suffering caused by opiates and their powerfully addictive consequences, not just for the patient but for everyone in their life, is far more unbearable than any physical discomfort could ever be. Mind over matter is possible. IMHO the character development that can come from living through, managing, and overcoming chronic pain is a far better option than throwing away the potential for you to discover the power of your own body's healing abilities by papering over it with drugs. Is it not the case that all medications are only tested against what we call the placebo effect , which is really our own ability to heal, recover and find natural balance? </p><p>For those who suffer from chronic pain, I'm not suggesting there is shame in medicating through it. I'm only saying that all of our choices have consequences. When it comes to our health and our interaction with modern medicine we must have as much agency as possible. In my experience, the horror and trauma of dealing with the abuse of a drug addicted family member is not worth the relief from personal physical pain.</p><p>Speaking specifically about character development, I am a big fan of the five factor model of personality, which I remember through the acronym CANOE or OCEAN: Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness, Extroversion, Agreeableness and Neuroticism. The trait I most closely associate with the character development I am refer to here is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscientiousness">Conscientiousness</a>. Here are a few of my thoughts, not informed by any formal study, just personal observation and layperson curiosity about how modern social science describes psychodynamics.</p><p>Firstly, it is the easiest trait to fake, and whether you want to seem less creepy, live to 100, or kick a drug habit, the expression "fake it till you make it" goes a long way. It takes time to build up good habits, just as it does with physical abilities and tolerances, so making a conscious effort to be conscientious is a reasonable effort in the short term. It basically comes down to short term impulse control, which has a knock-on effect of helping curb neuroticism. Who doesn't want to feel LESS neurotic?! </p><p>Secondly, being conscientious has a two fold benefit in that it makes one seem more trustworthy to others. There are obvious benefits that come from being viewed by others as safe and reliable, regardless of if someone is faking it or not. It might seem that agreeableness would be more closely associated with being seen by others as a good company, a lovely trait to have naturally. But, it much harder to fake if it doesn't because body language and facial tells come MORE naturally, and worst yet, being too agreeable makes a person prone to being taken advantage of. Being someone who is not easily fooled because they are aware and alert, through their efforts to be conscientious, while also attracting the benefits of being prosocial, helps develop a sense of personal security and confidence. Again, this helps decrease neuroticism, and who doesn't want to feel LESS neurotic?</p><p>Thirdly, and this is based on research, if someone is trying to abstain from drug use the number one strongest determining trait that predicts a positive outcome is conscientiousness. This trait also helps give someone the willingness to work hard to achieve their therapeutic goals, be they mental, emotion or physical. Circling back to neuroticism, this trait has the lowest association with favorable outcomes for treatments because of the resistance to making necessary changes, and the lack of impulse control that characterizes drug use. I personally believe that drug use and addiction is a person's attempt to regulate the nervous system. But they are attempts that are doomed to fail in the long run, only leaving a trail of wreckage and destruction behind them.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB6zi5dNF7_r6qKbIUPuCSvrU-4msYMGyHkmmbbl-oL-VPNNR4WSF9IolBifGYCTR-5gJ8WV8pXnOeV9z6K2Y4-y04npxtwLhCXEnRj0M9YhGBOPwgGw0dD_4Ch44UmAGIzGOvQLv0oNDGoP-Ri2bwooWbI3Za6zcEiG52_76tf19r774oP3rJAJKtAA/s4608/IMG_20230307_181549.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB6zi5dNF7_r6qKbIUPuCSvrU-4msYMGyHkmmbbl-oL-VPNNR4WSF9IolBifGYCTR-5gJ8WV8pXnOeV9z6K2Y4-y04npxtwLhCXEnRj0M9YhGBOPwgGw0dD_4Ch44UmAGIzGOvQLv0oNDGoP-Ri2bwooWbI3Za6zcEiG52_76tf19r774oP3rJAJKtAA/s320/IMG_20230307_181549.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Dr. Grande & his YouTube channel is a personal favorite of mine.

I indulged my retail therapy needs buying books researching for it. During the summer and fall of last year I worked a local driving job and had time in my home to consolidate and focus my vision for the project. The note taking and research continues, but now I am back out over the road again and have set up a little corner of my truck as my writing space. <div>.</div><div>I am beginning the process of typing up, editing and refining the chapters I have already scribbled into a pile of spiral bound notebooks. At a delivery the other day I dumpster dived a zz plant from a indoor plant decor place, and brought it into my corner. They thrive in low light, and it's the perfect creative companion. Slow steady progress, even, thick glossy layer upon layer of pages and leaves.<div>.<br /><div>This process has been great for my memory. I think of a few things and work to remember them through out the day while I am driving, until I can either take a break to jot them down in a notebook, or find the pace in the typed text and get it into the computer document. Taking time at home to go over all these piece-meal contributions and synthesize them is very relaxing, and a reasonable task. <br /> <p></p></div></div></div>Gretchen Elsnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04381817721220676815noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433407774550344925.post-85150068722064435682021-01-08T08:53:00.005-08:002021-04-14T11:53:44.963-07:00Interiors Inspo<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I have been making notes for a novel with pop-up illustrations titled "Light and Smoke" for several years, and now those notes have fed into the rough draft of the text. I am traveling to British Columbia now for a family celebration, and when I return I'll go under the knife. While I am recovering I will write the second draft.<br />
<br />
I think that this blog is finished. I have built my house, but adventures of moving it around will happen who knows when. I hope I will be able to walk again. Having my home to live and heal in is a simple and amazing grace. I guess this is the climax of the adventure this blog was about. I am still alive and able to thrive and be creative even under the most difficult and painful circumstances. Thanks for reading, and visit www.egretion.blogspot.com for other creative work. <div>All the best. Peace, Love and Relentless Fucking Optimism.<br />

This being the second time I have recovered from broken bones, the stability of my home is a blessing that gives me such great strength. Being with my wonderful husband now almost makes it enjoyable at times. Shortly after being discharged we talked about whether this experience was going to break us apart or bring us closer together and what we needed to do in order to survive together. The sucess of being able to talk openly and honestly together, and for our words to have meaning through action is the work that makes this time enjoyable.. Not being able to build and finish up little projects is only annoying at worst. The most painful part has been finding out that friends and neighbors we thought were actually friends and neighbors aren't. The old saying goes that when you're down you find out who your true friends are. We are very thankful to have found those people. Another meaningful expression is that if "friends" were $ I'd rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies"- and that is exactly the case. As painful as it can to see people's true colors as being turdular...we are thankful to get rid of the turds. As some people go we have more focus to share love, respect and enjoy a deeper level of friendship and trust with good people. Plus now we are more resolved than ever to get the fork out of this crazy backwater southern shithole town.<br />
I am getting stronger, not sure how well the bone is re-growing yet but we'll see next week. I can stand and walk for longer periods and distances, and have regained pretty much my normal flexibility by doing yoga and feldenkrais exercises. Thanks to my friend Pendra for turning me on to the practice so many years ago. Water jogging every other day is huge. The water pressure helps get my heart rate up to force blood through my legs, where I need the tissues to be thriving.<br />
I used to play the viola, and have been practice again with an instrument given to me by a friend, one that her daughter never really took to and has been living in a forgotten corner. Keeping time with by tapping and lifting my foot has helped quite a lot. So has resuming my sewing work. There will be images of that work soon at <a href="http://www.egretion.blogspot.com/">www.egretion.blogspot.com</a>. Perhaps it is time to return to this work, and my work as a writer, as my livelihood. For now working the machine peddle is a good work out, and being creative is helping keep my sane.<br />
<div>
In the meantime, here's a snippet of Haydn for ya! </div>

This time has also allowed me to brush up on other fields of interest. I realized I don't know much about biology, chemistry and evolution so I started out with some excellent science explainer videos produced by a fellow named Jon Parry and his animation project "Stated Clearly." <a href="https://www.blogger.com/Genetics%20and%20Evolution:%20https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLInNVsmlBUlQT_peuWctrmGMiLngK-6fb">Here's</a> a playlist about evolution and genetics that got me going, and <a href="https://www.blogger.com/The%20Origin%20of%20Life:%20http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLInNVsmlBUlREtDyJ2VpCLWK50Ua-cegZ">THIS</a> playlist about research into the origins of life has blown my mind! These videos in particular explain the basics of pre-biotic chemistry and the RNA World theory that I found so compelling I had to learn more. So, off to the local library!<br />
Now I am reading "The Origins of Life: From the Birth of Life to the Origins of Language" by John Maynard Smith & EΓΆrs Szathmary. Despite the grandeur implied in the title it's a very engaging lay person's read- at only 170 pages! In general as a thought experiment I have a chance now to contemplate how the apparent lack of cooperative brhavior - which in large part I find due to the vast differences between how people present themselves as being cooperative online but in fact behave selfishly, affects our ability to behave collectively to actually help another survive- or in my case, recover. Perhaps the breakdown in the ability to actually copperate in favor of inagining coorperation is a control for forcing actual survival by cooperation. How can any of this be expressed in action if not first the conflict be resolved inside the individual- and then resolved first in a shared reality of language. Language doesn't stand in well for action - which seems all too often to be the go-to assumption these days. All I can say is that in order to recover and stay sane too I realized it was time to delete my Facebook and Instagram accounts. I had only started them to run my business, which has ended because I can't work to keep the permits and insurance current. Returning to the practice of creative self expression is the healthiest, most authentic course of action, which speaks louder than words.Gretchen Elsnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04381817721220676815noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433407774550344925.post-35138295985257949832018-01-10T06:07:00.001-08:002018-01-10T06:13:29.131-08:00Nature and Love Provides<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I have cooked myself many meals, sewn myself clothes and a quilt for my bed. I have built myself a bed and a house to put it in. Now I am mending my broken legs, making bone for myself. I can't believe I am not in casts. This leg in 7 pieces with so many holes cut into it, I can handle it freely and I am standing to put my weight on it and walking a few steps at a time. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I can push against an elastic band and feel the muscle in the back of leg that was shredded a bit by the bone shards operating more or less as it should. The ripped muscle in my thighs has processed the huge bruise and repair the trauma there too, and I can put pressure on it. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> With my socks to cover the bandage wrapping, when I am relaxed and free from pain, I wouldn't even know they are broken by look or feel. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">When there is pain it is so varied, I understand now the expression: a symphony of pain. Sometimes it is a burning ache, or shooting pains radiating and throbbing up through my body. I am very thankful that I am experienced at sitting completely still in dynamic tension, because the episodes of pain cause a great deal of tension that I need to manage.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I have been taking <a href="http://www.homeopathyforhealth.net/2010/02/16/symphytum-officinale-a-homeopathic-first-aid-remedy/">symphytum-officinale</a>, in homeopathic pellet form, the common name being comphrey, and knit-bone. I used to grow comphrey in my garden! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">My friend brought me a 2 oz vile of homemade poppy oil and comphrey salve. In the first weeks this oil took the pain away, completely localized low dose therapy. I used it perhaps once a day when an episode of pain was upon me, usually after exercising.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">My dear friend Renee in Gibsons sent me some of the healing massage oil she makes. It is beautiful and has amazing healing properties. The Arnica and St. John's Wort is mixed with such beautiful floral oils, and almost sends me into a swoon as it eases away the pain. She just got her business website up online. When it says that the products are all made with prayers infused by women on the BC coast, it is true. I was there this past summer when several women of many different backgrounds came from afar to meet with her and infuse her ingredients in days of prayer and love. < 3</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> I am also thankful for yoga and feldenkrais practice I have spent so long conditioning myself to. I need to spend more time in mediation to help balance my emotions. </span>Gretchen Elsnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04381817721220676815noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433407774550344925.post-9437454196507119692017-12-10T16:52:00.002-08:002017-12-22T08:17:22.422-08:00New HardwareOn Tuesday the 5th I was hit by a car. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> I was attempting to make a left hand turn from the center lane across two oncoming traffic lanes, who were stopped at a red light. I was signalling & </span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">the vehicle in the left lane was allowing to me to enter their lane to proceed and check the oncoming right hand lane. A vehicle did not see as I was moving forward to look around and plowed into my front tire. My weight was on the front, so the impact spun the bike 180 degrees, I landed on the hood of the Jeep, they stopped suddenly and I was thrown. I saw my right leg snap with the sky behind it. Landed, rolled into the gutter. My leg heel was also fractured, road rash and bruising. My helmet protected my head and my tiger backpack protected my torso. I believe the two young college kids who were in the Jeep were distracted while driving. Texting and driving is a huge problem here. I just don't see how they could have failed to notice the stopped break in the traffic ahead of them, could have failed to see what of me was visible... they couldn't bring themselves to speak to me as I lay there in the road. Bone fragments from my tibia were lost in the road. </span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span>
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> I was brought to the hospital, surgery to clean the wound was performed, I rested for a day and underwent a 2nd 4 hour surgery to insert a nail through my tibia and a wire through my fibula. The old hard ware from the previous ankle break in 2015 was in the way of the new, so they took it out and gave it back to me. Hex head self tapping screws and a plate: titanium. Look away if the photos below will make you queazy. </span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span>
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">The narcotic pain medication is powerful and horrible. It is an effective painkiller, but it makes me incredibly paranoid, anxious, and irritable, which I just have to keep admitting, and remembering that I have two broken legs. 6 days after the wreck and I have stopped taking it, in favor of a few Advil for days when I am just laying still. I know about the pain of broken bones and the soreness and muscle bruising. If I need the strong stuff for days when I have to move okay, and when the script runs out I will thank GAWD. I am terrified of this drug. The addiction of hydrocodone is a hell that I know all too well from childhood, and I will be very glad when the meds run out, even if I have to lay in pain. I don't think there is a family in this country that hasn't been touched by opioid addiction, and this experience with the drug is heart-breakingly close to bad memories from the last break and from growing up.</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span>
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> There was enough bone loss that there is a question if there is enough bone to bone contact for healing to occur. If not it will require a bone graft in about 6 weeks. If I do heal on my own it will be 6 months before I can walk. I worked four jobs: a handy ma'am, with the local stage hand union, running my business, Pedal Promotion, and as a model. I will be able to continue 2 of the 4. It would be really fantastic if more clients hire my business because not only would it keep some income coming in for me personally, but also pay the people who work for me $15 an hour. I am so deeply thankful that I built my house, so that even when horrible things like this happen I know I can reply on the stability of my housing. I have recovered from one major injury there, and in that case I didn't have the use of my upper body strength, and my home wasn't nearly so complete. Also, having stabilized the cost of my living expenses means that I can buy higher quality food to rebuild my body with.</span><br />

People I haven't seen in a while have been asking me lately, "Did you ever finish your house?' or "Are you living in your house?".<br />
Yes.. and Yes... although with home ownership it will never be completely finished. There is always something to do, but at this point I just keep making it more deluxe. Many people, when I answer their questions, admit that they never thought I could build it in the first place. Hum.<br />
<br />
Anyways,<br />
<br />
I had installed some through bolts in the low side of the roof when I worked the solar panel rail supports into the roof trusses, intending to use them to mount an extra climbing rock hand hold and a cedar sun deck up there. It's hard to find a private and safe place to work on an all over tan! Plus, it's peaceful to be up on the roof and now the square footage is increased a tiny bit more. It has been a deluxe dream since the beginning.<br />
<br />
When I bought the standing seam roofing for the steep pitched side they didn't have enough to do the low side, and I bought galvanized corrugated instead, but it has caused some corrosion where it was cut. I wasn't able to get right to the projects the through bolts were for because of injuries, so a little bit of water has been dribbling down them onto the ceiling panels, and caused some mold, and separation of the panels from the frame.<br />

Can you kinda see the orange colored spolching of the mold?<br />

The panel around the stove pipe with the mold had to be completely replaced, not hard to do. I just popped the chair rail off and pulled the panel down, cut a new one to fit, caulked it and painted.<br />

Fixing the roof took about 12 hours. I forgot to take pictures, but while the metal was up I added a water proof sheet of plastic, kind of like a pond liner meets a fiber house wrap, and then installed the aluminum standing seam roofing over the top. No fasteners showing! (except on the overhang, they just lead to the gutters) No roof penetrations exposed to the weather. No leaks!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to build up the wall along where it meets with the roof with some strips of pressure treated wood, screwed, flashed, caulked and painted. </div>

And here shows the propane hose, should that ever be required. Finishing out the paneling under the sink has been on the to-do list for a while, and recently I bought another piece of paneling to fix some water damage to the ceiling, and there was enough left over to wall up this area too. The re-roofing is finished!!!! Standing seam aluminum instead of the over lapping galvanized metal roofing I used at first, because I didn't have enough of the standing seam. The cut edges rusted and dripped corrosion into the joint of the exterior wall and the roof flashing. Bolts I had attached to the trusses and that penetrated the roof from below, to mount a cedar deck and another rock climbing hand hold.....[ work I did before the injuries of 2015 and that remained unfinished], leaked around the temporary seals I put up there, and rotted the paneling of the ceiling. So, now all that is fixed and this project in the kitchen is done too!<br />

This is the food grade lidded bucket I used to make the under the sink sand filter, using bulk head unions. On occasion I add alum to the water, and close the spigot on the bottom so the water in the bucket has a chance to suspend the particles and then it comes out less turbulent when I open the spigot and drain the bucket. The owner of a local bakery: <a href="http://independentbaking.com/">Independent Baking Co.</a> gave me the bucket. Thank you!<br />

Fixed up an old egg crate with some wheels to store what-not in under the sink that is also easy to move. My work as a stage had has taught me how convenient and easy life can be with stuff is on wheels and you can roll it around. House on wheels full of stuff on wheels. The toilet is on wheels, the storage crate/seat, now the sand filter and this crate. Next the chest freezer.<br />

And there's lots of room to arrange things underneath, and a second egg basket held up by wood cleats under the counter top, which usually holds dishes that are waiting to be washed. Keeping the dishes in a dry holding state like this helps keep the whole situation more manageable; having things pre-scrapped into the compost bucket and given and wipe to get it all residue free and dry helps keep the washing water less turbulent and easier to filter and recycle.<br />

A major news organization Breaking It Down!!!! This sorties ran as the cover of the New York Magazine on July 9th.<br />
<br />
Make yourself a cup of tea, take a deep breath, turn on your reading for comprehension meat computer program, don't try to read it on your phone. It's long. It breaks distills and breaks down the impending and current effects of climate change into the 9 major categories of impact : the mass extinction underway, the extreme heat that will cook us alive, the collapse of our ability to rely on our food sources and our agriculture, plagues and the spread of diseases, the toxic chemical composition of the air, war and conflict provoked by rising temperatures and shrinking resources, permanent economic collapse, sulfide poisoning of the oceans, and finally the veil of denial and apathy that we are trapped in, and that will ultimately doom all current and future generations if we don't wake the fuck up right fucking now,<br />
<br />
And if you really want to dig into the interviews and research informing the piece it's all there.<br />
<br />
Here's the opening. Click on the title to go to the article.<br />

If your anxiety about global warming is dominated by fears of sea-level rise, you are barely scratching the surface of what terrors are possible, even within the lifetime of a teenager today. And yet the swelling seas β and the cities they will drown β have so dominated the picture of global warming, and so overwhelmed our capacity for climate panic, that they have occluded our perception of other threats, many much closer at hand. Rising oceans are bad, in fact very bad; but fleeing the coastline will not be enough.</div>

Indeed, absent a significant adjustment to how billions of humans conduct their lives, parts of the Earth will likely become close to uninhabitable, and other parts horrifically inhospitable, as soon as the end of this century.</div>

Even when we train our eyes on climate change, we are unable to comprehend its scope. This past winter, a string of days 60 and 70 degrees warmer than normal baked the North Pole, melting the permafrost that encased Norwayβs Svalbard seed vault β a global food bank nicknamed βDoomsday,β designed to ensure that our agriculture survives any catastrophe, and which appeared to have been flooded by climate change less than ten years after being built.</div>

Worms at Work!The population is growing! Soon there will be enough worms to handle the volume, but in the meantime....just soes you knows: YES! worms can turn food waste and human waste into "Black Gold!" So, if you get squeemish feelings every time you drop a big fat juicy turd into a couple gallons of perfectly good drinking water, there IS a better way that not only saves the water but also can feed your garden too! And not only that, but using a composting toilet come sin handy for rhetorical purposes. If you end up, like me, having a nagging, irrepressible urge to talk to others about how to reduce their own carbon foot print, and they try to make excuses, or call you a hypocrite for pointing things out you can say, "I'm not pretending my own shit doesn't stink. I know it does because I take responsibility for it!"<br />

Speaking of a squeemish feeling: I remember when I first started pooing in a sawdust filled bucket...boy did I feel weird! Ever since I was a little kid I felt embarrassed by the plop sound that poo makes when it hit the water, and in a public bathroom I would hold it until I was alone so no one would hear me poop. Saw dust makes no plopping sound, so thinking about that was the first trick I pulled to re-adjust my mind to a new paradigm, but still...I felt so weird when I first got started with this. I would kind of gag and get a creepy crawly feeling when I started handling the composting operation. How incredibly suggestible and habit forming our minds are! Anyways, needless to say, I got over it.<br />
<br />
I have posted this little tidbit before, but it's worth saying again: being a vegetarian/vegan makes human poo WAY less stinky than meat-eater poo. I am used to it now. It's a mild and sweet smell, and I use incense also, which I have noticed is common in bathroom with flush toilets too.Gretchen Elsnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04381817721220676815noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433407774550344925.post-25436547100365154772017-05-01T08:39:00.000-07:002017-05-01T08:39:16.987-07:00People's Climate March, Washington DC, 2017<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I looked up the other day at the faux etched glass ceiling panels in an elevator, and remembered when, years ago, I decided that it would be really nice to have a similar effect in the cabinet doors in the kitchen. So I gleaned a piece of lighting plastic at the ReStore, but it was too flimsy and broke. Then I gleaned 5 etched glass window panes, and have been saving them carefully for years, making sure they didn't get broken.<br />
