What a horribly boring title. But since I haven't the foggiest what to start writing about, it will have to do. First of all, CaraDD and I belong to each other and Ellesmira, gardendude, emmyloo, and rosethang belong to the both of us. You can check CaraDD's blog for the pertinent geographical information.

I am a teacher. The people of Oakland pay me to perpetuate the values of the community and hopefully put some mathematics in their skulls. I wasn't always a teacher, and am in the final stages of becoming permanently certified. While I'm off educating the local youth, CaraDD is homeschooling our four.

I also play music. I play guitar (and occasionally percussion) with the worship team at the Drain Church of Christ and I play for the Wednesday night CrossTrainers (1-5th grade).

As far as homesteading goes, I am interested in depending on a centralized food industry as little as possible. The primary reason being that local food is healthier. It's healthier for the body because local food is grown for nutritional value, not shelf life. It's healthier for the local economies because of all the intermediary money sinks that are eliminated. And it's healthier for the environment because less synthetic chemicals are required to keep local varieties alive and less fuel is burned transporting it. I'm sure there will be more on that later.

And now, the weather. Snow. A lot of snow for western Oregon. And apparently, given the tiny red octagon in my browser's title bar, more snow is on the way. School was cancelled today and it isn't looking good for tomorrow, either. The end of the 2nd quarter is this Thursday. I have almost all my grading caught up, so maybe a snow day or two isn't such a bad idea.
