{SPEAKER name="Mr. Moore"}
So obviously we got some, some idiosyncratic factors here in this house. They are particularly good for hot humid weather. They're not particularly good for cold weather. I have the feeling that we have enough technology in front of us today to perhaps fit this type house with devices and means to make it suitable for winter weather without actually changing the basic traditional form.
[00:08:42]
We're going to turn this program over now to music pretty soon. Nick, about 15 minutes or so?

{SPEAKER name="J. L. Harris"} Good Afternoon and welcome to our narrative session in the food preservation and community activities section.
