Want to be a colonist?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Beyond the Sidewalks : One Thread

They're at it again -- they being PBS. This time it's "Colonial House" and they're looking for applicants.

Colonial House The address is http://www.pbs.org/wnet/colonialhouse/, in case that link doesn't work for some reason.

They're going to be in some "beautiful but remote corner of the Eastern seaboard". I didn't think there was any remote area left, particularly not in the areas where the colonists first arrived. I hope they "cast" this one with less of an eye towards drama and conflict amongst the participants! I swear, the people on Survivor often seem to get along better than the Pioneer House people.

I put this under movies and TV, but if someone thinks some other category is more appropriate, let me know.

That sounds like fun. While reading the info on the site I started to wonder what they would do if someone became very ill or was severly injured. I'd hope they would life-flight them out of there, but they don't seem to address that question type of situation.

Harry and I both know that we could do this!! The quantity of life that lives either at the tidal areas or in the water is amazing and it would be impossible to starve! Ahhh to be MUCH, MUCH younger...:-)!!!
