Nate,

I second the thank you from Minnesota. The U of M halls were ringing after you left. Hope to see more of you.

Greetings Campers.
This looks a great idea. I am generally a lurker, but this thread may encourage me (and others) to de-lurk. I used to think peak oil was a transportation problem. But now that I see how easily the economic system can be perturbed, it seems to be more of an economic problem. So the appropriate response may not be to buy a Prius (especially not if you to have borrow), but to reduce debt and expenditures of all kinds. As a recent retiree, I am particularly sensitive to the necessity of keeping expenses below (reasonably expectable - whatever that is) income.
Pass the marshmallows please. :>)
