When dinosaurs ruled the earth

I would like to start a commune so that I will not have to deal with taxes or rent or crying children when I am trying to find the laundry detergent at the grocery store. It would have to be somewhere rather warm because I am not a fan of the cold weather. In fact, when I get cold and I am outside, I have a tendency to just lie down and give up until someone finds me. No one ever comes, so I have to eventually bring myself indoors and just feel bitter about the whole situation. Also, I am going to have to recruit people who have specialized skills, such as house-building or cooking. I have many available positions for all types of people, including the village idiot, the town cryer, and the perfunctory person-in-the-stocks to warn others of the punishment of crimes such as knocking down someone else's hut. I have christened myself the commune seance-holder/namer. I will hold all of the rituals to speak with the dead, while also offering my services to name things - like pets, trees, etc. It is imperative that I find someone with the ability to manufacture deoderant, because I cannot live in a small village in a tropical climate with sweaty people who have no anti-perspirant. Bring on the applications....
