My ex-wife, the mother of my son, is sueing me for child support (which she spends on herself) with the help of her loving attorney - whose fees I may have to pay even though she is employed as a nurse - and she is taking me to the cleaners.

My attorney has not been practicing for a long time and she is doing her best - she only charges $85/hour. The other attorney I had contacted the morning I was served with my lovely ex-wife's 80-page lawsuit? He charges $350/hour "or part thereof", as his perky secretary pointed out to me on the phone.

$350/hour "or part thereof"? The school teachers who are in charge of teaching our children don't make anywhere close to $350/hour. It's a little hard for me to understand how a divorce lawyer deserves $350/hour. I think it's a symptom of how sick our society is.

What's my solution? Self-sufficiency through vandwelling!

I am setting up my life in such a way that when the dust clears, I am able to live with a very minimal income. This means I need to reduce my living expenses to a minimum. I plan to do this through vandwelling: I have installed solar panels on the roof of my van, and just this week I purchased the cutest Little Dipper crockpot which I will use to cook quinoa, rolled oats and soups. The Little Dipper consumes only 35 watts of electricity, which my solar panels will easily handle without discharging my deep cycle batteries.

You over there, PAY ATTENTION!, as this lifestyle may be something you need to resort to after the mess that we call the United States has continued its decline and you are left with nothing! Never say "never"! And start taking charge of your own health and stop waiting for the government to make you healthy!

Sometimes I get so worked up I could just spit.

The thing about vandwelling is that it really makes you aware of just how many resources we use in our daily living. All of a sudden, you have to think about the number of watts that an electrical device consumes, you can't just let the water run for 5 minutes while you're brushing your teeth, you can't use half the roll of toilet paper in one sitting. Vandwelling really makes you aware of how wasteful we are of Mother Earth's resources.

As an added bonus, vandwelling means that I can no longer watch cable TV and be exposed to all this CRAP we call "pharmaceutical companies TV commercials"!

Is there anything nastier than watching CNN, and once they're done showing you just what a horrible putrid mess the world is, they cut to commercial and you get to find out how taking a little blue pill for your headache may mean you will one day no longer have the use of something as unimportant as your liver function?

Last weekend, I picked up my son and we had a little fun with a voltmeter, measuring the output that I am getting from the solar panels on the roof of my van. My son knows that his father is crazy unconventional a Genius! That's the word I was looking for! Through vandwelling, I plan to soon be living rent-free and off-the-grid, getting my electric power from my solar panels to charge the electronic devices which I critically depend on to bring you such a high quality website!
