I am quitting teaching. Yes, I am quitting teaching to become a wood chopper. My friend has a piece of land in Hanksville where he has a small, rustic cabin and big kiln where he fires his pottery. And he needs a lot of fire to operate that kiln. And thus, my new career. He said he would pay me $5 an hour plus room and board. So, I can live in the desert and soak up the sun and hike as much as I want (when I've recovered from the strain of wood-chopping). I'll have to practice a bit as I have no eye/hand coordination and I might initially be a danger to myself and the rats and lizards. But I will eventually have burly arms. The problem with my new plan, however, is that G. only fires twice a year.
So, my other plan to support me in the wood-chopping off-season is to become a Citizen Blogger. I went to part of a panel discussion last week about the constitutional right to protest the government and the title of one of the panelists was "Citizen Blogger." No other qualifications. I already have some good, blogging experience. However, I don't think that anyone will want me on a panel to discuss my random thoughts about life or the books I'm reading or the food I'm eating. So, I have to think of a new blog topic where people will beg to have me on their panels. I am currently taking suggestions.

Wood Chopping as Protest? Eating as social protest? Why writing is important for trees and other living creatures? I think you also have a few other good suggestions up there. Or, How I Gave up Teaching and Became a Millionare Chopping Wood for Profit. Or something like that.
Great ideas, Lynn. And yes, I agree the anonymous posters provided great ideas: Porn--duh; how to build an expert surveilance system.
