Hello everyone,

I didn't put his whole name there because of Google Etiquette, but anyone reading on this forum should know who R. Rutledge is.  It's good form when referring to a person on the Internet, to not use his or her whole name so as not to make them more googleable against their will.  Anyway,  I hear R.R. is in Japan, no wonder I haven't been able to googlestalk him anywhere in the US. Doesn't help he has the same name as a famous actor.

Also M. Magaldi, M. Speirs, B. Potter, and anyone else interested, say hello!  You guys have been pretty good at staying under the google-dar!

I'm a perpetually sunburnt organic farmer up in Plainfield, CT now, with a wife from Ukraine and an 11 year old daughter, and my mother in law from Ukraine is living with us and growing a large garden as well.  I'm interested in Peak Oil and economic and social issues, and sustainable living.

I'll be at the re-onion on September 5 with the wife and kid.  Hope to see you there.

R. Freeman
