[Fred's Win7 Catastrophe]

Hi Nella,

Thanks for your kind words.

I'm a biologist and aquaculturist, so I grow plants and animals in 
and on water.  Both  enterprises are similar at  the basic production 
levels.  One business is growing and processing algae to make 
biodiesel.  It is a nonprofit, employing workers with myriad 
disabilities in career-track employment.  Plans are to expand after a 
few bugs are worked out.

The other is a microbrewery.  We haven't fleshed this out fully, but 
my brothers and I are planning to be as sustainable and bioregional 
as possible.  We already produce more beer than  legally allowed 
under federal law.  I taught both of them (and dozens of others) beer 
brewing.  The area we live in is often called the Napa Valley of 
beer.  We are in the northern hills of San Diego County.  My bros and 
I have won many awards for our beers, so the next step is to go pro.

So, I'm busy.

Happy Hump Day everyone,

Fred, near San Diego

I'm sorry to hear of all your misfortune and hope things get better for you
soon.

What type of businesses are you starting?

I will not be attending the national convention, so will not be much help.  I
hope if anyone from this group goes they will tell us all about it.
