Re: 9 banks fail - evening news? Underwater Pumpkin Carving.

Years ago as the Director of the Chico Peace and Justice Center, just prior to the invasion of Afghanistan, I proposed a coordinated closure of personal bank accounts, and total default on all crediit cards, rather than ineffective marches. The group was aghast: what will happen, what will they do?
The fear of the government (under W mind you) was palpable.
But, you want change, yes?
Not if we can't tell what they might do, martial law, economic collapse...
Well, it happened anyway, but at their hands, not ours.
I no longer put any more than a couple of hundred in my bank, use cash the rest. Keeps a lid on spending, and allows more freedom to move, to negotiate (Cash will be King again, my mom used to say, a Depression-era child), and to keep the banks from closing down on us or the G-men from confiscating...
Pigs, Taro and Chickens

I've just moved here from California to live with my son and family in the Kurtistown area. He has a small taro patch 4'x10' out back and would like to expand it. I have no expertise with this climate or native cultivars. Would anyone be willing to meet with me at our home or yours to learn enough to get started?
Much appreciations,
