Canyon

For those of you out there, my many readers who have the book Canyon:last rural community in metropolitan America (notice the acedemic colon), I recommend a few sections. There is an amazing paragraph under Canyon Cinema where it's founder Bill Baillie describes the house we grew up in. He's a good writer adn it's a bit spooky is feelng about the place. But, of relevence to this blog is what another neighbor is quoated as saying in the book. I guess there were some thieving issues in Canyon back then (1960's) and his respose at a community meeting was "don't have anything worth ripping off". Sometimes I wonder if the hippy dream doessn't live just a wee bit in us. As silly as they were, they were not silly at all those parents of ours.
One of my readership pointed out too, that houses are not fortesses anyway. I agree. On a much less idealistic note, or at least a practical one, isn't this what Safes were designed for anyway. So your valuables go into a safe. You can afford it with a canvas house. Being out here in Canyon, my biggest issues are simply put, insulation. Anway, I'm leaning toward Polarguard Delta! These are basic issues that Yurt livers have already been dealing with. Maybe I can get some input from Yurt/Tipi pros?

Just kidding.
