I am curious about this comment

 I don't answer the phone unless I know who it is, so at first text.  



I only use land lines so texts are no good, but what is the issue. If an old friend wanted to touch base, they may not know the rule?
I am amzed how many people just assume that everybody has a mobile phone, they do not work where I live and work, yet I am 8 Km from a township, strange situation.

Hi Keith, I'm planning to hit the road this fall with the goal of work trading at various places to learn more about natural building.  I would be so happy to come and help out at your home and learn about your experiences with Earthship design. Would you be open to having me visit sometime in November, or maybe December, or is Thanksgiving a hard stop for you? It's possible I might not be able to get out there until after Thanksgiving. Would love to get in touch if you're interested.  Thanks so much.
