The Kindness of Strangers (2014) by Mike McIntyre

This is a book by a journalist who traveled from San Francisco, CA to Cape Fear, NC by hitching rides and not using any money.  He relied, as the title of the book says, on the kindness of strangers.  He mostly avoided big cities and traveled through the countryside and small towns.  Along the way he learned a few things:

• those who have the least are the most generous;
• There are many women who have been abused;
• The country is soft in the middle and hard on the edges.
• and most people think others in their own state are kind but people from over states are mean.

He's not religious but I would call it a secular pilgrimage.

yelp review for Greywater Corps

We used Greywater Corp to install a greywater system at our home.   We now water our fruit trees with our shower and laundry.  This is a great company.  We couldn't be happier with their service, from inking the contract to pulling the permits to doing the job and then getting it inspected and approved.  The owner Leigh is knowledgeable and trustworthy and kept us updated at every step in the process.  And the workers are wizards in their various fields and all seem committed to the goal of taking care of old mother earth (which my wife and I share).   We're deeply appreciative for the hard work everyone-- Leigh, Joe, Vince, Charles, Rachel, Jeff- put in.  If you want a greywater system, you could not find a better company to get this done for you.

Grey water

it's fully permitted and 80% of the way installed.   We just need loose ends tied up and the final inspection.
