HELLO INDIGO: This is a bit off from a greeting and off from anything remotely permiculture.
But welcome to wonderful world of "permies". I've been a member for about 4 years now. Why I became interested in the site were articles about 'Rocket Stoves', which might interest you living as far North as you do.
I think it is fantastic that we can sit in our homes and hold 'conversations', via forums, with others so far away. I live in the United States, in the state of Indiana now, I'm retired after 35 years with a large electro-optical company in California. I taught MS Office and low level computer courses at a community college for 11 years. I had several pieces of tools to do wood working and have since retiring added a CNC (computer, numerically controlled) desktop system, and a 3 D Printer with a Laser Module that can be attached. I love to use those but in Spring and Summer I spend far more time with gardening.
A Korean friend of mine got me hooked on Asian (particularly Korean) soaps and movies. English sub-titles, but much better than the crude "F" language used on far too many American TV movies.
IF you are Autistic there is a Korean movie playing currently on NetFlix titled, 'Attorney Woo Young Woo', that you might enjoy. The overall theme is of a young girl who is autistic who has read all of her father's law books and eventually becomes an Attorney. It has many different legal cases that the group goes through.
IF that actress is totally acting the part she is doing a good job of it.
IF the actress is actually Autistic and playing the part, then she is doing an Excellent job of it.
I hope you find 'permies' and the forums entertaining and educational.
