This is a shorter show then normal but I think it may be one of the best so far. We need to realize that survival preparedness is best done by blending it with life on a day to day basis. To survive we need to also ensure the survival of the next generations.
I would love to hear your stories about what you learned about from gardening with parents or grandparents and what these lessons mean to you. Or what other lessons do you think we learn from gardening. Remember to make suggestion and comment.

Great podcast yet again, it’s funny because completely love to be involved even it requires hard work. They follow your lead as a parent be it exercising or sitting on the couch.
Great show. Very important emphasis on a multi-generational view. How do you maintain your concentration and speaking ability while driving?
@John,
IT isn’t as hard as one might think. I don’t really ever read anything, have a script, etc. I stick to topics I know fairly well and I just do it. I sometimes have a few index cards with some points on them but I have my eyes on the road more then most cell phone users.
This is also a pretty boring drive, much of it is strait driving with no exits, etc for miles. Much of the rest is a crawling speeds riding the breaks while morons try to figure out why they left the house that morning.
I use a lapel mic and just handle it like one long phone call. I hope everyone keeps enjoying the show. Todays show should be published by noon, I will be recording it on my drive in.
