Agreed. I’ve stopped getting that magazine since I’ve been reading it since I was a teen and there’s not much new under the sun anymore. ;)
I was not knocking your post. It was just something I had read since the mid 70’s. I was a hard core Mother Earth News back to the nature and so forth for a number of years until I learned how hard it was to pull that off. I had a 40 hour job and have had for 45 years until I retired. It’s a glamorous looking life until you actually live it. I don’t regret any of it. I have learned so much in my inconsequential life. I could get by for a while without all of the modern conveniences, but not over the long haul. Thank you for your great posts!
