I think of an analogy as a work horse. The work horse that is willing to work itself to death, and then be put out to pasture. And that's what happens to so many of us. If society was throwing us away and sending us as the work horse out to the pasture, we work horses have to gather together and take care of each other. And that's what this is all about. The way I see it is that the Titanic is sinking and economic times are changing. And so my goal is to get the lifeboats out and get as many people into the lifeboats as I can.

Dolly You know, I think that what the nomads are doing is not that different than what the pioneers did. I think Fern's part of an American tradition.
Makenzie My mom says that you're homeless, is that true?
Fern No, I'm not homeless. I'm just house-less. Not the same thing, right?
Dave Hey, find anything?
Fern ROCKS!
