Modern Day Thoreau

I find the whole concept of The Field Lab so darn dreamy.

I am especially charmed by Benita. Read the article, and you'll see. 

Believe me, I know there's a whole lot more to living

in a solar-powered shack in the desert

than star gazing and cattle counting.

This is h-a-r-d living.

It's no picnic among the tumble weeds and sage.

But I imagine the rewards of eating the bread you baked,

drinking the beer your brewed,

and letting your hair catch the water from the shower you take,

-all heated and created from the rays of the sun-

must feel extraordinary.

Very cool.
