Walkable Communities

Hey - I just bought a house near down town Willits - never mind that it is a cool house that I am exctied to fix up and be in….never mind that I have to downsize my closets ( yes, yes - a good thing, Iv’e heard from almost everyone)

The best part is that I am finally in a neighborhood - a place where people know each other and say hello and walk to work and make time to lean on the gate ( I hope)

After years of living “up the mountain” - in a mountain suburb of our village, a beautiful place - but must drive my car back and forth every day…I am going to reduce my gas consumption, get some better quality exercise and make new friends! Check it out, everyone…maybe you are ready to make a move too…it is becoming a back to the future trend….I plan on biking to work, walking to the movies!

As for other ways to change my lifestyle - I now have a sunny garden plot, a solar hot water heater, and enough sun to put up solar panels as well!

The 70 year old single pane glass is a pain, but - I think some thick curtains ought to help next winter…
