You're so crazy Ron lol. I looked up that highest and best use definition and it says that "It does not take into account social or historical value, or non-financial benefits like open space." So you may have to make some tweaks to please the county land and historic preservation committee. I'm the committee chair lol :-). Yep! I'm here so its a good New Year lol. <3

You're so gracious. I have a big, fat envelope for you, should I drop it off at the Cafe?

Please do. And tell the staff to find me when you arrive. I hate not to at least have a quick chat with my fave customers.

~ Incoming-Recipe Pulley System ~

You're bringing up a tray of food and drink that's getting cold/warm to Lugh's condo. The cafe-patio-to-balcony pulley system isn't working. The cafe is a cooperative, everyone is staff. Get off the internet and back to work. I'll take the envelope now, Ron, thanks... What's in it? While you're here, could you take a look at Lugh's building's pulley system, please?

This doesn't feel like cooperative language to me. The internet is within the universe of my occupational duties as i sometimes need information to complete my tasks. I've never. To think that I labor so much to be so uncooperatively displaced.

If your crystals and incense are not going to sell as much, then it's sweat equity for you!

Well, you can review the books again because i've been making lots of sales. And sweat is not an appropriate thing in a place of business and where food and beverages are being served. And of course a sale is not simply a transaction. If i've brightened someone's day that is a sale. They may be encouraged to patronize our establishment again in four days time and bring friends out the wazoo too. iow i'm investing my equity into each moment.

Oh, well the the business ledger. Some people call it the GL or what have you.

Zazzy, I didn't want to implicate anyone, so I just addressed the envelope to "Historic Preservation Committee Chair". So, I guess you could take it. At least split with Dreamy though, otherwise, Elysianfield's project will never get approved.

Everything gets split depending on revenue and sweat equity, etc..

If you're in contact with elysianfield, let him know that we attended, out of curiosity and some time ago, an information session at Mike Nickerson's home regarding the formation of an ecovillage. We were part of Transition at the time.

elysianfield might do well to consider turning his 'historic preservation' into something like it and/or consulting Mike, the Transition Network and/or the Permaculture Institute, and/or the like, along those lines.

He happened to be on the panel of JHK's video posted on his old CFN site with that Club Of Rome, Canada Chapter gang. Do you remember? Did you see it?

Here's part two with Mike (beard, bald, glasses, suspenders) chatting with Jim in the immediate segment:

Who knows. The chair may be seized from me as well. But don't you worry. I'll fix em lol. I brought you an espresso martini so you have energy for all of your business deals today. Now, if you'll excuse. Apparently i'm filling in for the pulley today.

"The chair may be seized from me as well." ~ Nova

What we can do is make a double-paneled sign with suspender ropes that allow it to be placed on your shoulders so that one panel is at your back and another is at your front, sort of like if you were begging for work in some era like the Dust Bowl.

Then we bring the chair to our busy downtown street corner and set you standing upon it to advertise all our specials, menus, new arrivals and whatnot.

After some weeks, the chair will probably have to be fixed, but if Ron is going to periodically pop in and drink up all our profits in espresso martinis, he can also fix the chairs.

I should be ok if you want to add a fine print at the bottom of one of your panels that says, "My stuff isn't selling, that's why I have to do this.". <3

Exactly who do you think you are. You act as if this is a common place of business. No. This is an establishment. We are the heartbeat of this town. Everyone knows where its happening and its right here. Now if you'll excuse me. I am so busy i can't even see straight right now.

Ok, I'll get on the chair and you can go and clean the washrooms. How about that?

Fine. I'll get on the chair. You're a real piece of work SB you know that.

First 2 comments (not mine) under Part 2 apparently about it:

"@oojai

4 months ago

@33 minutes into this discussion- after more than two hours of presentation and q&a we have an 'honorary member' effectively suggesting the censorship of this discussion. To further JimтАЩs point - scientific progress moves ahead one funeral at a time."

"@tonka5

Anitra Thorhaug sounds like a censorship coach."

And a first comment for the hell of it from under Part 2:

---

"@Mac-ku3xu

Thanks for warning us about Jim's habit of challenging authority - I wouldn't want to be exposed to any independent thought that hasn't been pre-approved by govt censors for my own safety."

~ CACOR Live - James Kunstler (Part One) ~

LOL You're too cute. ^u^

How about we throw the chair back in the cafe and I stop hamming around at your expense and get back to work myself?

Seriously, though, I was listening again at the linked video I just posted with Jim and Club Of Rome Canada Chapter panel discussion from 5 months ago and, at the end, the woman who labeled Jim a 'disruptor' suggested, if recalled (as I have yet to view it to the end again), that the video be entitled something that warns people of that fact...

What's interesting is that it seems they went in and changed the 'controversial' title since last time to one that doesn't reflect her recommendations!

And to support my recollection, it appears they forgot to remove the part in their description that mentions that...

Here it is:

"After much consideration, with the agreement of the speaker, CACOR is publishing this presentation under the title A Disturbing and Provocative Viewpoint on Breaking through the Fog of Unreality."

As you can see at the link below, that's not the title (anymore)...
