Thirteen Ways to Identify a 9-volt Nomad

9-Volt Nomads:

1. Watch their bird feeders more than their televisions.
2. Are seen walking past the gas station, more often than they're seen pulling into it. 
3. Award themselves one point for making their own lunch, ten for growing it.
4. Prefer redwoods to skyscrapers. 
5. Play well with others.
6. Make far more love than money.
7. Would rather travel by book or by daydream, than by plane or by car.
8. Will look at a child and say "his/her future depends on my present choices."
9. Aspire to competent poverty. 
10. Place more trust in a bean seed than in the Federal Reserve.
11. Heartily enjoy a good nap.
12. Know that if the world is to be green, our hands must have dirt on them. 
13. Live by this proverb: "when you cannot afford real oranges, cheerfully substitute intangible tangerines."
