Hi folks,
I'm a 30-something grad student, studying things to do with climate change in the desert. I'm not sure I'm "awake" in a classic sense, but I'm working toward a self-sustainable lifestyle to buffer myself and family from a dismal future of more extreme temperature fluctuations, severe and prolonged droughts, too many butts in the tub, and a government that no longer appears to be of the people. I'm also thatGuy's (UP member) less knowledgeable half, but I've picked up a few things over the course of our internment together that I hope to share with you all. I have an insatiable thirst for knowledge, which I hope will be partially quenched here, as it was at SP, and I enjoy a good joke anytime. I can be pretty abrasive (probably an understatement), but I'm also open to the opinions of others (sometimes).
It's a motley crew we have here at UP, but it's a fantastic bunch (Oops, Freudian slip-- almost wrote fanatic bunch
) and I look forward to seeing this forum grow and flourish!
