In the last show, Ep 140, Mickael was finishing up the rickshaw.  Well, now it’s two weeks later, and he and the 3 children have spent a week travelling with it, starting in Northampton, MA, and ending up in Plainville, CT.  How was the trip???  Your body?  People’s reactions?  the beauty of living  on a lush branch of the tree of the world while the trunk is rotten?  the visits from the police?        ( I was with them for a lot of the trip.)

This interview is over the phone, since Mickael and family were in South Carolina, and headed back to France.

And then there’s the guy idling diesel exhaust…”Excuse me, I don’t know if you realize, but the exhaust from your truck makes it hard to breathe all the way down the block…”
