Back to the village. Great idea but modern people want it to be picturesque and don't tend to like the reality of country and farm life. We have dirt roads, pot holes, the snow doesn't get plowed in time for them, manure needs to be stock piled and then spread on the fields, animals call out to each other in the fields, trees get cut, views change. When city people come to the country they often complain about the weirdest things. But this is the reality. Their low slung car is not going to make it in mud season.
I hope he succeeds and brings people closer to food, growing it, raising animals, processing it. This is real life. People need to know that reality doesn't come plastic wrapped.
Cheers

DALTON, Mass. — The 30th annual CRA Just for Kicks Soccer Tournament delivered an outstanding weekend of youth soccer, featuring exciting competition, dramatic finishes, and an incredible showcase of talent from teams throughout the region.
With more than 140 games played over the weekend, the tournament once again demonstrated why it has become a special tradition for youth soccer in the Berkshires and surrounding communities.
The weekend featured competitive matchups across eight divisions, with several championship games providing unforgettable moments. Both U14 Dan McMahon Cup championships were decided by penalty shootouts, with the U14 Girls final going all the way to the ninth shooter before a champion was crowned. The U12 Girls Division 1 championship was equally dramatic, as Dalton Blue scored an incredible goal in the final minute to capture the title.
