JZ, I'm glad your job is off to a good start!
Scrappy, I hope it's something easily fixable.

fans: two more episodes leaked last night!! And they are awesome!! Yes, that's right, all four episodes that will be released on DVD in a week and a half are online, and
not a single one will have aired in the United States by the time the DVD comes out.
Good show, Nickelodeon. Good show.
This has been a semi-productive Monday so far.
Holy moley this made me blink. Just how long was I asleep? Heh.
Just went to price windows. OMG, the prices make me cry. I feel like we'll be lucky to pay $400 per window. It's the damn wood grilles that we have to have because of the historic district thing, more or less doubles the price!
Much health~ma to Scrappy's FiL.
Omnis, after the fall of civilization, you and I will rebuild with domes and wind turbines. And planetariums. It will be a glorious utopia.
I live in the Land of the West Wind - that's what the town name means. Small wind turbines might make sense on my roof.
sending the ma~~~ to scrappy's in laws.
I had thought I was inside for awhile - but DH had told a friend to come over and grab some of our good dirt for his planters. ( in the side yard we have lots of natural mulch from the live oak tree) our friend brought me a Japanese maple in exchange. not a bad deal for either one of us.
Typoboy, ya I know. In my dreams, I have a nice dome in a breezey meadow (no mowing of lawn needed) with lots of sun, with a wind turbine or two and solar panels galore. Still trying to figure out a eco way of flushing that doesn't seem to waste so much water. Ahhh Spaceship Earth.

OK, I really should be going to get a hair cut. I just don't want to get off the couch. But NEEED haircut. Oy Vey.
from a job application...
can use heavy equitment, work with peoples, and good with man hands
wind turbines might make some sense around here to. WE get our 5 pm breeze almost every day - probably in the neighborhood of 5 to 15 miles an hour. I really only the notice the wind when it hits over 25 mph.
My theory of future energy:
the concept of having only one source of energy is dated. We already have a combination of electric and gas in this house. One of the next things we want to do is put in a sweedish firebox. ( no I don't remember the name) It fits in the fire place - and has about 10% of the allowed emmisions of normal fire place. It burns very efficiently and give off a lot of heat fro very little wood. And wood scrapes - we have lots. and DH knows enough about wood that we also know which of his scrapes should not be burned.
And now - As we remodel the house we will be taking advantage of the passive solar that is possible. The architect that has done the plans for our house, doubled the size of his house and kept his energy bills the same. His house is going to be on the green home tour in the bay area this june.
