This climate is definitely something to be reckoned with. There are plenty of temperate things I just can't make work here, so I had better embrace the bananas!
I think it's possible to grow coffee here in the right microclimate, so maybe if the grid goes down we'll find a way to work out some trades.
Occasionally I catch David the Good live, but more often I'm just listening to audio of past streams on Unauthorized tv. He's very entertaining, and I've definitely adopted the "compost everything" approach since finding his streams.
