Hi.....this is my first time writing, though I've been silently watching the
conversation for months.  It keeps up my spirits while trying to live in a
group house of college students who move in and out a lot.  I have some
questions about coho, as a real beginner, having never seen coho.  
1.  What is the group house like?  Are there always people hanging out there,
or is it just for meetings and dinners?  
2.  How do people who want to do coho find other people they'd like as
neighbors?  I mean, it seems like people cooperate a lot in deciding who
lives in the housing.  How do you get the initial group going?  
3.  Are people in coho *close*, like are lots of deep friendships formed, or
is it more just *neighborly* like you can borrow an egg or get a ride?
4.  Rob mentioned tours.  Living in Santa Rosa, CA, are there coho places
nearby who would sometimes do a tour so I could see a coho group?  Peace,
