I arrived around the start of certain harvest times, and went for free blueberry picking, got free organic yukon golds and conventional beets and broccoli (I'm going to have to start resist the free conventional produce though, it's no good. People who financially support conventional anyway should get the free stuff so they aren't supporting it as much).
I made two boys nearly fall in love with me by knowing what Linux is (seriously, that's not my wording). It's so funny when people are so caught up in their little mini-culture. I also went to Critical Mass and followed some people to a Sustainable Happy Hour. I just accepted a free beer, drank about a mL or two, and gave the rest to other people. They get free beer and feel satisfied that I participated in the alcohol ritual, and I get to try it without having to actually drink it.
Also conquered the big hill that Cornell is on everyday, and spent hours trying to squat while weeding on my very sore leg muscles (that had atrophied while in Peru). Summer is great.

It is so awesome to hear that you are now in Itaca. It sounds very much like the place I have envisioned it to be. I hope I get to go there somtime, but for now I will just experience it vicariously through your writings. You are having some really amazing adventures.
