Hartmans and Stuart Community

 

 Stuart Community and ‘Hartmans’

We’ll coin a sports lingo term.

We’’ give examples.

We’ll apply this to Stuart community.

1—There’ve been Hartmans playing ball in Stuart since 1907.

There are none now.

Why?

Because basically Stuart exports food and people.

1a—Now, what’s a ‘Hartman’?

It’s not Howard going 2 for 3 vs. Bob Feller—didn’t happen in Stuart.

It’s not Greg hitting 6 consecutive homers, and being walked the 7^th time—with the bases loaded. Happened in Mississippi.

It IS twin Hartmans being academic all-state.

Egregious Excellence.

It’s not Chuck stealing home in fast pitch—happened in Earlham.

Half a Hartman to Chuck because one of his 2 slow pitch no-hitters was in Stuart.

Others: Walked intentionally to start a game, 3 outs in 10 games, created sport and held world championship…

2—Stuart was small enough to fail in, without anyone noticing.

3—Stuart will soon be too big.

We’re just west of the fastest-growing county in these uSA.

Buy some land, put it in federal crop programs, wait for it to be sold for development. The farm Louise grew up on.

But what’s the fun of that?

4—Maybe Guthrie Center is small enough now for an Amish Dude Ranch and Electrical Sensitivity Retreat, and other things.

5—Maybe with 3-D printing, and the heroes’ return (article for 150^th) development without being too big could happen.

Jacobs—‘import replacement’ makes cities. Hoppe—natural leaders emerge from decentralization. Cody ‘Looking Backward 2162-2012’.

Cody proposes governance at village level, much diversity. Makes sense since a car has 200+ horses in it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kardashev_scale

6—Water?

7—Electricity from wind, even with EMP? Gingrich, Koppel books.

8—I continue to fail. Eternal Calendar, here and elsewhere: https://chuckhartmann.substack.com/
