I read Ibu's post on FB a few days ago about people being hungry.... It made me sad; I don't know what exactly is happening, but imagine that being far from stores and food-banks does not help. Having to truck water, no electricity, no kitchen. And all that energy spent to adapt to the new environment. Must not be easy.
Last issue of 'Real Change News' had a short article about former Nickelsville's home, Fire Station 39:
With Nickelsville gone, old Fire Station 39 up for grabs
by: Cydney Gillis , Staff Reporter
Now that residents of Nickelsville have moved out of the old Fire Station 39, two groups are competing for control of the 1949 building.
Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn announced that he and council would work to turn the firehouse into a shelter, but the question is, who will run it?
The rest is here....
Anyway, this coming Thursday Lynnda and I will go to Nickelsville; will bring some cookies and soup; Lynnda also found more firewood.
P.S. Perhaps I should take my super-simple solar cooker to Nickelsville and see if anybody is interested - that is if we have any sun in Seattle anytime soon... I cooked quite a few soups and stews in it - it's wonderful, because it requires no energy but solar to use it - you just put the soup stuff in it, turn it towards the sun, go do something else, and 4-6 hours later the soup is ready, no sweat, no worry. Mine looks like the picture here - just a cardboard with reflective aluminum foil.
