Lots of them sound older from reading their posts than they turn out to be in real life. I think it's because they're so stinkin' wise! Myself, I'm 30 and I just built an odd little earth-sheltered house with solar power out in the woods of Minnesota. So that's what I've been doing. I have a yard full of free boats and various Heavy Things I dragged home thinking of subs, and I'm another one of those nuts who for some reason has been dreaming of this as long as I can remember. I think it's some kind of genetic anomaly, because as excited as I get at the prospect, that's exactly how much nobody else around me has any interest whatsoever. They're mystified at why I'd want to go to all that trouble to drive around underwater. It just sounds "cool" to me and I'm not sure why -- but it has something to do with spaceships.

I desperately need a welder. I'm tired of finding ways to make everything with salvaged lumber and drywall screws.
