So as previously stated.  I was in college.  now i’m not.  I’m a contractor, handyman, remodler, whatever you want to call it.  I prefer home renovations.  I work on people’s homes, whether patching and fixing old houses, or adding new stuff.  It’s fun work.  I enjoy it, i work with my hands, i’m a visual learning, i love houses.  It’s a pretty neat job. 

as i mentioned previously, also, I just finished reading Home from Nowhere by james howard kunstler.  great book, great author, he’s honest and a great writer.  some of the things he wrote were so dry, sarcastic and hilarious.  great reading.  What i’m doing now fits in with this topic of “new urbanism” as one chunk of what he wrote about is called.  i like buildings and am currently working in them, so it works great.  but i’m also an enviornmentalist (sort of)…  So my job now, currently, somewhat conflicts with what i feel about cars.  for example, refer to the map that is posted.      That’s how much we drove today.  not cool at all.  seriuosly.   Now granted, that’s just because it was a monday.  I agree with and am trying to see how we can limit the use of cars, regardless of whether it’s causeing global warming, it’s adding to it and we have something tangible that we can do to help reduce global warming. 

So i stand there and look at what i do for a living, drive all over town in a big ol’ diseal unicell truck.  seriously?!?!?!

So we’ll see how this resolves in my head later.  I hope this is coherent thoughts.
