On Monday July 18th Wendy Barron has offered to show us at least 20
medicinal plants that grow in her and Roger’s yard in Coon Rapids. Wendy will
tell us about the plants and how to make medicine like teas, tinctures, and
salves out of them. And if she has time she may even give us a handout to help
guide us in our quest for our own home grown medicines. Wendy and Roger’s
address is 1336 107th Lane in Coon Rapids (see map here: https://www.google.com/maps/place/1336+107th+Ln+NW,+Coon+Rapids,+MN+55433/@45.1655437,-93.301392,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x52b33b42fb70c595:0xaf84fd71aba4e3ff!8m2!3d45.1655399!4d-93.3007054
). We will meet at their place at 6:30 and the gathering will last until around
8:30 or until we get kicked out. Let’s hope the weather cooperates for
us.
And then on Monday August 1st Bob Suchanek has reserved our old meeting
room in the upstairs conference room at the Coon Rapids Cub Foods located at
2050 Northdale Blvd in the Village 10 Center in Coon Rapids. Bob will be
playing a recent Podcast from James Howard Kunstler who talks with science
writer Alice J. Friedmann about her book WHEN TRUCKS STOP RUNNING. The two talk
about oil, trucking, transportation, and the fate of Western Civilization as we
run out of the fuel that keeps the whole thing grinding along. More on the hour
long interview can be found here: http://kunstler.com/podcast/kunstlercast-278-alice-friedemann-trucks-stop-running/.
We should have some time to talk about the talk, after the talk. The meeting
will start about 6:30 p.m and again will last until 8:30 or so or until we get
kicked out.
I hope that everybody’s summer is going well and am looking forwarding to
attending what I am sure will be two great gatherings and hope to see you
there. Also feel free to give me a call or drop me an email if you have any
questions, or if you would like to share a Transition related topic in one of
our other upcoming gatherings. We always need new topics and I know there are a
lot of folks with a lot of knowledge out there waiting to be tapped in our
transition to simpler lives.
