[Scpg] You may be a Permanerd if...

[Wesley Roe and Marjorie Lakin Erickson]

You may be a Permanerd if...

...you analyze the on-site flows of every place you go
...you conducted a zonal analysis to place the furniture in your home
...you always do three things at a time
...you sit in a hammock observing for a year before you make any decision
...you find yourself discussing the finer differences between Mollisonian, 
Holmgrenian, and Bellian theory
...you can gather your herbs without getting your slippers wet
...you're still planning to get your Ph. D. in Louisiana
...you spent your last vacation digging ponds
...all you're money is in the PCU
...you care for the earth, care for people, and reinvest the surplus
...you list your occupation as "applied pattern recognition"
...you always start at the doorstep
...you've phased out zone 1 so you can devote more time to foraging
...you document all your projects for your Degree
...you're always ready for a talent show
...your garden runs itself
...you ARE zone zero
...you see swales everywhere
...you sheetmulch your dead pets
...you believe more than half of _Travels_in_Dreams_!
...you pay to work on other people's land
...you throw seedballs
...You see cardboard as a ground cover.
...You see old televisions as potential natural building materials
...You expect a date to meet at least three functions
...you will only eat free-range vegetables
...you left your last relationship because they till
...you've actually read the _Designer's_Manual_
...you don't have a slug problem or a duck deficiency
...you went home and gardened
