On Thursday we hooked up the trailer and headed to Clearwater…46 tires! Unfortunately they shipped about 300 the day before. Bummed Chris out. We are now up to 141 tires and Chris has been working on the plans to make them three-dimensional.

On Tuesday we are going on a field trip to see two Earthships located in the hills south of us…the owners have no telephone but I managed to track down who they are and found exact directions…thank you John Sawatsky, Dan Poirier and Joe Scanlon, Carleton Journalism School profs who armed me and my classmates (about 20 years ago!) with basic investigative tools (all legal, of course). We are taking our friends Henry and Lee-Ann who are two of the most super friendly people in the world, and are blessed with the uncanny ability to talk their way into anybody’s home. Hopefully we won’t freak out these unsuspecting Earthship owners when we turn up on their doorsteps unannounced…I’ll have to wear my Martian clothes…
