The hardest part of falling a little behind on posts here is discerning the best way to remedy the situation. I never know whether to go back and fill in the days in order first, or to just start from the present day. There isn’t a perfect answer.

But since I’m in more of a recoouping mode rather than a highly energetic one, I’m starting here. There are some drafts started for like the 20th and the 21st, and I have reason to want to fill those spaces behind with things that interest my audience less–the overtly political things. So that’s the way it will be.

There’s going to be another day or two to put my space and my head back together, and then a shorter trip next weekend for Tinyfest Southwest, which, like much of what’s happened lately, is more video-bait than writing-friendly.

Tonight I did some fun research, the lesson of which is that a canvas tent is better for my use case than a nylon one. The ‘awning rooms’ I was so hot on a week ago are less attractive now, but maybe there are canvas ones I haven’t seen yet.

And in any case, there’s much to be said for relying less on tents altogether, and more on trailers.

Just like there’s much to be said for an arched cabin over a pre-built tiny house …

These are the things on my mind. Modalities for living cheap, rough, and happy.
