What is on my mind? Where are we? If you are interested you may find out here. If your not that is the beauty of the keys on your computer, you can surely hit a couple and go to other places on the planet. IF YOU DON'T LIKE MY PEACHES, LET ME BE, STAY OUT OF MY ORCHARD, DON'T SHAKE MY TREE

Life in a small box
The Kadizzlites have been living in a small box with wheels for about three months. From the living room to the bedroom is about four steps. The views are usually magnificent. Heat can be a precious commodity. To have heat you need electricity. This means the battery, or the generator. The battery will not last to long running the furnace. So the routine is to get up warm up the module and begin the day. Since the module is self contained, all water must be carried on board, and after it is used stored on board. Living in a module makes you very conscious of how much water, electricity, and fuel you use. Periodically the module has to be recharged and discharged. The trick is to go as long as you can between refills. This means turn off the light right away. Don't run the water. Close the door. If more people could readily see their impact on resources, the world would be a better place. Living in the urban environment people don't have a clew how much they consume. In an Earth Module every drop counts.
