(I'm going find a copy. Looks good. An interesting perspective on being stuck in a small space, not by choice)

It has some weird attributes ... but then spooks clothed on human form tend to like strange form ... reminds eM 've hommoe ... common space above without hairy or Ayres ... abstract humus? It's naughty myth ... the unseen is real ...

Sort of like old slew foot in the biblical tome on passions about getting right into it ... and thus consumed by the bare thing that gave thinks ... aD onis? Now how to escape what one has got themselves into without logic ... is that defined irrationality?

It appears to be a paegan or common trait of humanity even if we see differently ...
 
The village itself is rather flat, surrounded by the rolling hills of NB - some high enough that the locals call them mountains. A few sheer cliffs where a river has undercut its bank. Cart tracs eking their way through impassable bogs? I'm not sure what you mean by that. I dare say that there are lots of ATV trails cutting through the forests and swamps, and a peat bog just the other side of the railway tracks. I'm not sure about the internet. I do see people from the village posting on FB so I imagine that they have good connections.

I think the question, seeler, was if someone who had difficulty with moility could live there. How would they get in & out.

Mobility problems?
It should be easy enough to build a wheel-chair ramp and platform to the back door - the driveway goes right around to the back of the house. Beyond that - I think the problems would be much the same as else-where. Wheel-chair friendly automobile. Shoulder on the road. I see other houses in the community with wheelchair ramps - people must manage to get around.
Inside the building - it's all on one floor. I think the halls and doorways would accomodate a walker or wheelchair.
 
thanks for the descriptions, @Seeler :3

how's the community around there? mostly retirees? blue collar? conservative? farmers? nosy neighbours? big gov't statists? egalitarian hedonists?
 
Egalitarian hedonists ... there's a rare breed snuffed out by big fetes ... larger souls without sign-ifi-cance?

They're people - pretty much like people everywhere.
Actually the couple who live closest built their home and moved here from one of the NB cities upon retirement. They are comfortably well-to-do - friendly but keep their distance. They enjoy hunting, fishing, snowmobiling. Their middle-aged children often visit for a week in season - or an occasional weekend.
The ccouple on the other side are probably in their 40s. He does casual, seasonal labor. She may have health and weight problems. They mainly depend upon Welfare.
Both couples keep an eye on our place - we only check in a few times a year. No damage has ever been done.
Further afield - well, I see several people from one family (two sisters married to two brotheers) actively supporting the Green party. One of our provincial premiers (Conservative) was from this community (but that was years ago when the lumberr mill his family owned was running).
There is an RC church, and a Pentecostal. The UCC recently amalgamated with two others and decided to use the church building in the middle (about 15 klm up the road).
Nosy or interested? some are. Others stick to themselves.
 
Yay, Van-Couver!


I know this is being done out of necessity but I miss being in my 20's right now. I don't know that at this stage I really would have the guts, or even practical ability, to live this way...in my 20's I would've seen it as a worthy adventure...but kudos to Luna Mammon and her moonbeam (what intriguing names!). And I am not currently in Vancouver - but this is a big reason I liked it there...the bohemian hippie spirit is alive and well and, even in material poverty, there's something really cheerful and positive (and not angsty and dystopian compared to some lifestyles) about it...

I just wonder...Does she have somewhere to live when she's renting her van out? She must or else it doesn't make much sense.
