A model for #SustainableCommunities everywhere!
Taran Rampersad@DoomsdaysCW that's really cool!
I would love to live in a place like that.
There is a photographer (#AlexDeSteiguer) who lives on the island in the winter. Some days, I really want her job! @knowprose
Isles of Shoals caretaker
Bill RickerSOME days. The other days are why our settler ancestors whom the ocean hadn't yet killed moved to the mainland.
Interesting factoid -- #ThomasMorton, who supplied guns to the local Native Americans and celebrated Pagan rituals atop Merrymount in Quincy, was banished to the Shoals as punishment for his "crimes". He was rescued by some friends before winter set in. @n1vux @knowprose
@DoomsdaysCW @n1vux wow.
Society is weird. But I guess it's not for everyone for obvious reasons.
But give me that, some paper and a good supply of pens, and shelves full of books...
I would consider that a good life. Active in mind and body.
I didn't like winters in a lot of places because of that entrainment to a productivity tempo I didn't set. I could have set my own there.

Cornell may have occasional postings for a resident caretaker there? IDK if seasonal or year-round these days, I try not to read their fund-raising solicitations.

Oh, I wonder if that listing is for the lab on Appledore, @n1vux ? There used to be a hotel there, but it burned down. Now there are some cabins, a few lab buildings, and a weird black monolith thing that used to be some sort of experimental radar. @knowprose

Probably it's Applsdore where Cornell Ornithology spends Mother's donations.

@n1vux @DoomsdaysCW well... wouldn't be a bad spot for me to land.
Been... 35 years since I worked a radar. Lol.
Oh, the radar has been long out of use (maybe). There was a similar structure in nearby Ipswich, MA, @knowprose .
Here's the link to the job I think @n1vux is referring to,

@DoomsdaysCW @n1vux Man.
I'm betting I would not pass the physical requirements these days.
But what a fun opportunity that would be!
