I am in Prague, Czech Republic this week and had some thoughts that I wanted to share. I love this city, its beautiful architecture and culture. It is my home but I must say that I miss Vancouver, and especially Kits more than I ever imagined I would have. Traffic is extremely congested here and the air has this frequent polluted smell to it. Today I went to the beautiful park next to our home to exercise and there were so many potholes that I couldn't run without really hurting my knees and ankles. The city is really suffering as a result of the economic collapse, corruption and post-communism social disfunction.
The point is that we are so lucky to have Kitsilano. I truly do miss it and can't wait to come back in the Fall and work with all of you to make it even better!

April was a really busy month, not nearly enough time spent gardening so not enough relaxing done. I love this time of year with everything bursting with life, it is so amazing.

Thanks! Yeah I saw that. I will work on some sort of proposal and do my best to make it. Also, the site looks great, but cant we do something about those birds in the background?

Hi Henry,
Just a very quick welcome to the village for now. I'd be happy to talk with you about this -- it would be great to see something get going along these lines.
There's a potluck coming up in a couple weeks; hope you can make it. See details in the discussion forum.
And again, welcome.
Ross, convenor Kits Village

Hey guys! I am really interested in creating a small group that measures their impact on the planet and tries to reduce it on a goal basis over one year, implementing new goals each month and recording the progress. After that first year I feel like we would have a lot of experience to develop the ideas to improve our future. Let me know if you are interested in brainstorming ways of doing this with me or participating.
