   Quite right. You might like this lecture from Dr. Robinson, if you haven’t seen it already.

   Thank you Chad, for the link. No, I had’t seen it before. I appreciate others linking to things. I don’t “drudge” up my own stuff usually 😉 I really appreciate collaborative efforts and sharing, you know, community stuff, the ribs of Agrarianism 🙂

   You’ve posted on my other site, or sent an email through a page or something, before, about some Christian Agrarian articles I have posted. I never got back to you, so sorry!

   I’m in the slow process of changing things over to:

   Agrarianlife.com. Which is a project I’ve not had as much time to work on as I’d like. 🙁

   In any case, it’s now intended to be a “group blog” about living the agrarian life, actually doing it, or working towards it in the future, and have articles like the ones I have from Howard King, and any other things that crop up as useful, needful, and such.

   We need to have multiple agrarian sites out there and my Agrarianlife site has been waiting for me to really put it into action. I did have a message board set up last year and had no activity at all, of course I did no promotion, except in some of Howard King’s email newsletters.

   I work in bursts, getting deeply into topics when they rear up, and I’m feeling the agrarian topic rearing up again, and hope to kick out some good work and read up some more on it. I have a daily living of it and desire to do much more with it in real life, but haven’t beefed up on my reading, in other words.

   I find it amusing that so many lectures are offered on the supposed departure from climatic norms, especially considering that here in the midwest few communities have been keeping records for over 100 years. I read a climatology report on the 20th century and found that in northern IL, a few of the ten warmest winters were in the first decade. A few of the coldest winters were observed in the 7th, 8th, and 9th decade. I am pretty sure the glaciers are coming back!

   I often wondered upon hearing the old folks boast of the monster winters they were used to observing.”When we was kids the snow was so deep and the winters so cold all you could see was the tallest trees and an occasional chimney. Fact was, snowed so hard the roads weren’t plowed out for weeks!” Of course, back then they were plowing with horses versus the hundreds of trucks currently on the county roster, but I don’t suppose that made much of a difference. Looking at the record book, I was not surprised to observe that the snowfall reports were not much different than what I have observed in my lifetime!
