You can call someone “they” if that person doesn’t identify as male or female.

The “counterculture” is friendlier than the mainstream culture.

Hippies don’t really wear tie-dye anymore.

Rain and cold can’t stop a good time if folks are dedicated enough.

What I Taught:

Creating food forests in Florida.

The importance of a diverse ecosystem.

Virtual Friends I Finally Met In Person:

Andi, of Greenbasket.me. I gave her some organic homegrown tobacco for her hookah, she gave me a Mysore raspberry. Win-win.

And Finally:
