Tiny Homes by Lloyd Kahn
Lloyd Kahn's new book, Tiny Homes: Simple Shelter, is out. I've been following Lloyd's Blog for a while now and have been looking forward to getting my hands on this book. For anyone interested in living small this is worthy material.
Makes me a bit nostalgic for my cabin in the woods that served me so well in the earlier part of the century and that in some part led to this full timing life I'm enjoying so much.
Here's a link to Tiny Homes: Simple Shelter at Amazon.com

Disaster and the Failure of Authority
Disasters are almost by definition about the failure of authority, in part because the powers that be are supposed to protect us from them, in part also because the thousand dispersed needs of a disaster overwhelm even the best governments, and because the government version of governing often arrives at the point of a gun. But the authorities don't usually fail so spectacularly. Failure at this level requires sustained effort. The deepening of the divide between the haves and have nots, the stripping away of social services, the defunding of the infrastructure, mean that this disaster—not of weather but of policy—has been more or less what was intended to happen, if not so starkly in plain sight.
