I really appreciate the meeting notes and minutes from the EDAP group. Every thing I read points to the need to accelerate the process of descent. I would like you to consider the following: What specific tools and materials need to be acquired and stored? What do we do when the city water quits (or the electric pump on your well quits)?

Hi Peter,
Thanks for your comment on the EDAP. I agree that a lot of the EDAP - maybe most of it - should be oriented toward practical issues such as those you mention. If it is, we'll be relying on folks like yourself who have discovered what works and doesn't to share what they've learned.
Although the work group is still discussing objectives for the EDAP, I see it as basically a "What to" and "How to" resource for everyone when they finally recognize that they need to make some changes. But this is qute a bit different than other EDAPs produced so far, so who knows what we'll end up with.
I will send you a TW friend request which will allow me to exchange my phone/email.
It would be a delight to be invited to a Goshen TW event .
One of my neighbors used to be part of TW and he also might be interested...he is a researcher and runs a nursery business.
Another neighbor is a beekeeper but not on the TW.
We're often behind on our emails & phone calls..prefering to connect for either shared meals, work-projects, or walks.
I attended the "Walking our Walk' gathering but missed seeing there was a Goshen neighborhood group. Were you able to attend?
