arrows are simple, can just harden the end of the
stick and that will often be good enough for small
game.

no desire on my part to get into the arms
race all over again. if people want to fight,
i'll try to get out of their way as much as
possible. otherwise, i garden, and try to
enjoy what is as long as i can.

this place isn't remote enough, but anyone who
could get here would be welcome as long as they
would help in the gardens. reliable water
supply and a fair number people around who do
have weapons will likely be good enough for any
short term mayhem. the longer term is where it
gets interesting. how the surrounding people
would organize and get along...
