		<description><![CDATA[In my academic experience there are two words that, if used unwittingly, will get you hopped on faster than a flea onto a coon hound. Tantalizingly, they  appear to be the bookends of a spectrum with great applicability to the lived experience. Determinism on one end and Choice on the other. That&#8217;s pretty simplistic of course, and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=preservelocalfirst.wordpress.com&amp;blog=29766285&amp;post=39&amp;subd=preservelocalfirst&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a time and place of seemingly endless, easily-accessible and affordable bounty* courtesy of a global food system, it&#8217;s often difficult to justify home food preservation. Not that it has to be justified to anyone, but it&#8217;s a good thought exercise especially when there is plentiful grist for the mill. With the fairly dramatic resurgence of interest [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=preservelocalfirst.wordpress.com&amp;blog=29766285&amp;post=34&amp;subd=preservelocalfirst&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The only exotic place I&#8217;ve been recently is  the nether-regions of my own brain, conveyed on the vehicle of academic journal articles. These trips don&#8217;t come with any nice photos, so this&#8217;ll be pretty text-heavy. I&#8217;ve been pondering the aspects of “local” for a while, mainly in the context of people not food. I recently read [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=preservelocalfirst.wordpress.com&amp;blog=29766285&amp;post=29&amp;subd=preservelocalfirst&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Boulder, Utah is an interesting place. Until the 1930&#8242;s it was still the most isolated town in Utah, which meant that anyone who lived there had to be pretty self-sufficient, or community-sufficient. Obviously this tradition still informs the structures and developments of today. The exchange of middle-man dollar does not seem to be the strict [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=preservelocalfirst.wordpress.com&amp;blog=29766285&amp;post=20&amp;subd=preservelocalfirst&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

But the guy behind the desk at the motel told us there was a community dinner at the church. Fortunately for us, &#8220;community&#8221; is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=preservelocalfirst.wordpress.com&amp;blog=29766285&amp;post=12&amp;subd=preservelocalfirst&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

I&#8217;m going down to check it out since we seem to have a lot in common. I&#8217;m taking with me a newly-learned term, to see how it fits with developments in tiny Boulder town.
