Today I participated in a communal activity to help our friends get their place more set up. I painted their house with my buddy while others framed a new shed for their bee equipment and others tilled and planted their garden with potatoes. I got to watch and attempt milking a goat and then sample the fresh milk (so good actually). And then got to explaining the inherent contradictions of capital to an older woman in a pretty great conversation that lasted a couple hours. It was a profoundly life-affirming experience.
I also saw a bunch of cool bugs and snakes. Also got to see some kids discover a freshly laid egg. Plus smoke a joint with some old hippies.
