Trees don't occur naturally around here. The only trees are trees someone planted, and they wouldn't appreciate my logging operation in their yards. There are also no rivers or streams for hydro power.

I still prefer the option of making it so I don't need electricity. But that wood gasifier is pretty cool. (Of course, we have no natural trees here, either. If there's a tree, someone planted it, or it

Before electricity, there were windmills pumping water from the underground aquifer. Before windmills there weren't many people living here (other than the Commanches). And now the water table has gone

The small, round, spiky ones look like they might be puffballs. I'd need to slice one in half to know for sure. I can usually tell morels and giant puffballs but not much else. Never really got into fungus
