Dear Pennies & Pallers, In our first letter, a Pen Pal describes her plan to construct an off-grid homestead with her partner. She wants to know: what would our homesteads be like? In our second letter, a Pen Pal explains the emotional experience of returning their dog to the animal rescue group. They also ask: what are our travel bathroom strategies? We also discuss: banter, getting into Tool, how big an acre is, go-karting to the office, the Buc-ee’s bathroom, and more. We wish you well, sincerely, Your Pen Pals Daniel Van Kirk & Rory Scovel
