We're Going Back to School


Bob and I have decided to visit the Youth Initiative high school. It's a school started by students. We're going to profile the school as one of our communities. The school is in Viroqua.

Bob is in the next room watching a documentary called The Real Dirt on Farmer John. Last night he was a big hit with the crowd here at Dreamtime after he shared his stash of Gummy Choco a tasty Japanese candy. All the anarchists ate that up hook, line, and sinker. Bob just loves LOVES telling everyone his girlfriend is from Japan. Gives him street cred. Like wearing a Canadian Maple Leaf on your backpack in Europe. No one cares that my girlfriend is French Canadian Polish.

In other news, we've started to see our doc coming into focus. We're looking at communities "off the grid." One of the guests here, Makeala, and her man, Cullen, told us about going up North, to a piece of property that had no electricity. It was "Off the grid." I like it. It's got a ring to it, like "off the Hook." Although Zon doesn't like it. He refuses to answer whether or not he's off the grid. Says I'm using the metaphor incorrectly. Foiled again. Maybe he's irked because I accidentally called him Zod, the villain from Superman 2 played by Terrance Stamp.

Until then.
