STRAY SHOPPING CARTS REDUX

E.F. Schumacker put it best by saying, "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction."

Well it seems the book I reviewed in a previous blog post, "Stray Shopping Carts of America", has gotten wide attention. More so now that we are in the middle of a recession. With the republication of "A Simple Life" and everyone seeking a simpler, less expensive, close to home experience, the backyard BBQ has taken on new meaning.

My friends Peter and Dianne have taken the phrase "Back to Nature" to new heights with their custom built BBQ grill, direct from Walmart.

I admit I was a little jealous when they moved from "Taxachusetts" to find freedom in New Hampshire but I never expected them to get this deep into the back to the land movement.
