On one point in particular: you can find a <a href="http://www.progressivewaynecounty.org/news/2008/06/local_food_directory_richmond" rel="nofollow">comprehensive guide to local food source options at ProgressiveWayneCounty.org</a> - it was started by an Earlham student and we're hoping to expand it over time.

I look forward to seeing what happens at the Council meeting on Tuesday and what visions for future Richmond emerge. I will be interested in seeing how the emotions that have been expressed in personal conversations are transformed but a public hearing. I would also like to shop locally and noticed how careful everyone was in the 100 mile interviews in not naming sources. Please post a referral source so I can support more local food sources. Finally, the Model T convention gives us all a great opportunity to ask how we can take a machine that has survived for 100 years and convert it to run on more renewable fuel. I was told that there will be a hydrogen powered T coming from Denver, but also have heard that these cars were successful because anyone could repair them . I was also told that Henry Ford had thought that farmers would grow their fuel, but the gas companies created a supply that was immediately accessible at a low cost, so alterantive fuels were put on the shelf. Wouldn't it be ironic if one of the first cars made, became a prototype for a new car that could be easily maintained and fueled from a source other than petro chemicals? I hope you have signed in online as media so Vicki and I can hear your interviews with people who come to Indiana from all over the world. Thanks for another great show. Best Wishes, Jim Dear Chris,
