the Bens....











It has been a hectic week.  It was great to get to know my new friend Ben Fogle.  Little Ben the bull calf was named after him.  (hmmmm...there is a bit of Benita and Ben'n'Texas in the little critter too.)  79.95,65, .14,B,0

i HATE it when people hold a gun to my head and make me read a blog i don't approve of... sheesh. he's not working in a cubicle. he's enjoying the life he's built for himself and the rest of us enjoy watching his progress. if he's able to try out "free" stuff from people who support his vision --that's no different than when settlers helped each other raise barns and slaughter animals for the season. self sustainable as a goal refers more to trying to procure his own energy resources and food supply than it means "live and work alone with no help or die trying." even thoreau walked to town for neighborly visits during the Walden experiment. take a deep breath, HCS.

Read and STUDY Thoreau first Tampa Fla Mrs. Vargas mom first ,before being so stupid, JW does nothing similar to him -to my understandingeing-, he is just a basic practical man, just living his life there in the Texas Desert,(no phylosophy at all) having rid off NY expensive life and no mortgage $$$, etc. just survive/enjoy basic life nature plus animals arround.

Film crew! Can't wait to see what they came up with. From the picture, the little guy seems to be o.k. Hope he's doing well.

This goes back to a previous blog, Ben Fogle is on the Today show in London promoting the Olympics. Cool that he was in West Texas just a few days ago. You have impressive friends, Mr. Wells.
