Understanding Money
Again and again I'm surprised about how little people care about the money system.

When talking about the money system, I don't mean to talk about budgeting or investments or what we use money for. Of course money can be used for good, and often is. What I mean i… Continue

Good to hear from you and exciting to hear about the worms at Wynberg Haven. Well done and something I shall keep in mind when we get an office. We have a wormiculturist here in Stanford, Quentin Green, who has many baths of worms and from whom I bought my worm box.

Keep well and love from Stanford
