Most of my lack of hope is a result of politicians and how most of them operate. I feel a slight reprieve after the last Canadian federal election... but then I see more coverage of the US candidates and the NRA and lobbyists, and then I see what the BC provincial government is up to, and hope fades again.

2016 is going to kick ass and be great. It's going to be tough but good things will come from hard work and good times and good things are already happening. For starters, the west coast of North America is getting much needed rain. I don't say this from a personal or selfish perspective, but it is true because when the west is wet, the runoff flows far and wide. The best scenario would be for all regions to produce more food locally but for now at least, the west, particularly California provides food for much of the country and even much of the world. So there will be more nutrition. There will be better moods, better music, more resilience, more energy. Each person that feels better will add to creating a more positive outlook and that will spread it to others. 2016 will kick ass.

Does that mean my vegetables will stop being so damn expensive?
It should help. A pot or two in a sunny window with tomatoes helps too. We threw some compost around a little 5 by 8 for patch of dirt outside the kitchen window and some volunteer tomatoes and melon plants jumped up from the ground. The last tomatoes and a melon came on late and I picked them green around Halloween before the first heavy frost and put them in a sunny window to ripen slowly. We at the last red tomato between Christmas and New Years. Nearly effortless, good, cheap food!
Another easy one is growing parsley in a sunny window. Loads on vitamins and monerals in a few sprigs.

Hm. I wonder if I'm allowed to have a window box in the kitchen window. It doesn't technically face the street, so I might be able to get away with it either way. Herb garden! No more .99¢ cilantro!
