Nomadics and Learning sections (and some thoughtful thoughts)

In California..
(From Wikipedia)

Slab City or The Slabs is a snowbird campsite in the Sonoran Desert 156 miles northeast of San Diego, used by recreational vehicle owners and squatters from across North America. It takes its name from the concrete slabs that remain from the abandoned World War II Marine barracks of Camp Dunlap.

Several thousand campers, many of them retired, use the site during the winter months. These "snowbirds" stay only for the winter, before migrating north in the spring to cooler climates. The temperatures during the summer are unforgiving (as high as 120 °F) (48 °C); nonetheless, there is a group of around 150 permanent residents who live in the Slabs all year round. Some of these "Slabbers" derive their living by way of government checks (SSI, Social Security, and Social Security Disability) and have been driven to the Slabs through poverty. Others have moved to The Slabs to learn how to live off the grid and to be left alone. Still others have moved there to stretch their retirement income.

The site is both decommissioned and uncontrolled, and there is no charge for parking. The camp has no electricity, no running water, no sewers nor toilets, and no trash pickup service. Many campers use generators or solar panels to generate electricity. Supplies can be purchased in nearby Niland, California, located about four miles (6 km) to the southwest of Slab City.

Nomadic Furniture: a.k.a Ikea today.

These are a couple of books I have and can bring in to share. I like the idea of being able to build something and then break it down when it comes time to move. These books are all about that and DIY.

A fine idea

Dr. Seuss strikes again. Dr. Seuss- "an architect of social change" is an article about how The Sneetches book by Dr. Seuss puts out a message to children about equality. I have read many of his books but not this one. As a young girl, I loved Dr. Seuss books because of the illustrations and they were fun to read. When I got older I realized that there are alot of important messages in those books.

These are great books to give to your children, and frankly, maybe even politicians.
