The Planting of a Policorp Seed on the Western Slope

The soil has been prepared and the seed that was put in the ground all these years ago has begun to sprout. We have the first signs of life from our policorp. A development division and a music production division are popping their first shoots out of the fertile earth of the Boo.

I am excited about the quality of the people who are looking to pledge their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honors to this endeavor -- true patriots all.

The challenge will be -- how to transition the monarchy that is the Boo into the policorp Nisenan Valley Group. I am playing around with the idea of leasing the property to the group for an nominal amount at first (roughly the amount I am currently taking out of it), and giving the group a first right of refusal option to purchase the property. Jon has a lawyer who put together his corporation and we will try to meet with her on Saturday to get her advice on legal structure.

The problem is that Nisenan has no assets at this point, other than the pledged efforts of people who have bills to pay, families to raise, and lots of other obligations. So, how to aggregate small investments in time and resources from multiple people to feed and water the fragile shoots that the plant Nisenan is putting out. As any gardener knows, this is the most vulnerable time in the development of a living organism.

But, I have great confidence in these ecoevolutionary horticulturalists.
