Oh my, I could not agree more Jaimie. While I don't drink coffee (can you believe I've never tried it once) I do live off-grid and completely understand the detachment most folks have. I was one of them. When I lived in the city and a "normal" lifestyle, I demanded instant gratification. I was so spoiled that if the cable became hazy during one of my precious shows, it seriously would make me grumpy.

I look back on those days now and think how blind I was. I liken living off-grid to being "born again". One experiences that moment of clarity. It is as if they had been living with blinders on previously.

You've really got me thinking. I think I'll write an article about my "awakening". Because that was what it has truly been. There you go again, inspiring me.
