Here I am with Sassy days after she was born 29 years ago in FL, and then again a couple years ago when we lived in Seattle. I am so grateful that we are celebrating with her today after she nearly died this winter. So many vets told us it was just her time to go, she’s old and lived a good life. We learned God determines when it is our time, not medicine. We have hope Sassy will be The Producer’s trusted steed someday too (She sits on Sassy now and says “bye” and waves me off like, “leave us alone I got this”) . HUGE thank you to everyone who helped us along the way. To celebrate, I’m going to try a livestream birthday party on our Off Gridish channel so you can join us and ask any Sassy question you’ve ever wanted to ask - we are planning for 3P PST - I’ll post the link here! 🎂 🧁 🐴 🎉 🥕 🍎
I haven’t posted in a few days because my life has been entirely consumed by leading the opposition to the 195-ft 5G cell tower planned for my neighbor’s property. Others have warned me that this is a full time job and they weren’t joking. I was knocking on doors Thursday night til 9PM. We are making progress and I hope to have a livestream this week with attorneys. It’s incredible what I’ve learned in such a short time - and nothing good about the impending onslaught of the technosphere into our lives. Anyway, one funny moment occurred yesterday when Lily came rushing into my office during a 3.5 hour phone call and told me that “Jack did something he isn’t supposed to do.” The kids have been incredible little troopers this week; going with me to notary meetings, waiting patiently for a late dinner, dealing with mommy on the phone all the time. Hopefully life returns to quiet soon and we enjoy de-stressing without a cell tower blocking the sunset behind our farm. DON’T ...
This federal law is a great example of regulatory agency capture by big industry. It must be amended for the future of our neighborhoods or we will see cell towers everywhere. My county commission cannot vote down this proposed cell phone tower on my neighbor’s land based on health or environmental reasons or they’ll get sued due to the protections afforded in this act.
Our neighbor is planning to put up a cell tower on his property. I am sure almost everyone here is well-versed in the dangers associated with radiation emitted from these towers, especially for kids. However it’s complicated to stop their construction as these cellular companies have near-criminal protections from the federal government. You can’t vote down a tower as a local governing body based on ANY health or environmental risks. I am asking for help from people who have tried to stop these towers, whether successfully or unsuccessfully. I’d like to know what you learned so I can move forward strategically to save our farm. Please email me at: [email protected] or leave a link in the comments below. I figured my news days were behind me, now focused on a simple farm life, but this story found me. Let’s go.
