In tonight's random walk through the internet, I met this Irish man living without money and these American and mostly private-sector folks losing their incomes and near-term purchasing power because of the government shutdown (which, as of this writing, does not appear close to ending).
While the former is depicted as almost heroic in his agrarian life off the grid, the latter is a good reminder of what would happen to the rest of us without an income. The articles' combined effect could guide me to more time among the affordable fruits and vegetables of the supermarket aisles but most likely won't result in my creation of "a compost loo to make ‘humanure’ for my veggies."
Alex Kudera’s award-winning novel, Fight for Your Long Day (Atticus Books), was drafted in a walk-in closet during a summer in Seoul, South Korea. Auggie’s Revenge (Beating Windward Press) is his second novel. His numerous short stories include “Frade Killed Ellen” (Dutch Kills Press), “Bombing from Above” (Heavy Feather Review), and “A Thanksgiving” (Eclectica Magazine).
