I was recently thinking the time will come when not consuming becomes a product. Imagine being paid to not use power or to not take a shower so the power and water are available for the billionaire instead to swim in his heated pool.

Whatever you do please avoid becoming the van that parks in the amazing spot next to the ocean and then sits in the back staring at their screen. The whole ocean is there! Stare at the ocean!

I live under the flight path for an airport, which should be kind of annoying. Instead I find it inspiring to hear the roar of the jets and see the small planes hurling through the air. We dreamed of the day for so long and now it is common!

I've always loved animals, and I would love to quit and own a farm where I breed and care for horses. I also like cats a lot I could see myself working as a cat therapist. My children tell me I am a very good cook too and should start a business selling crepes for breakfast.
