Feels Like April in Virginia in Vermont

Good God, it’s 80 degrees out according to my weather sticker in the sidebar or it was when I began writing this post and I have to agree with that. I just came in from working out in the yard with Laurie’s youngest son, Kenny (he and his family live upstairs) and by the time [...]

Punxsutawney Phil Sees His Shadow. No Early Spring for us then.

I came to decision the other day that I’ll never let my tank get below a half again. That is not unless I win the lottery or something, then I wouldn’t care and most likely I’d go find a rig around the same size but more fuel efficient. If it didn’t exist then I [...]

Excellent Info on Oil From Algae

While perusing through my stats over the past few days, I noticed several searches leading here that led folks to my original Oil from Algae post back in March. It finally got through my thick skull that I had received a comment from Narsi, one of the coordinators of www.oilgae.com that let me know [...]

Solar Cells-Yet Another New Breakthrough

In an effort to bring out information to a wider audience about new technology that works towards a better environment and a healthier world than the one we live in presently (all thanks to us), I’m making it a point to post about anything that I might actually see hit the streets some time before [...]
