I got the job!!!

Very excited that I get to start on day I wanted to rather than a week early. I start on November 12th and the position is for 6 months instead of only 4 months.... YAY!!!

Estes Park, Colorado here I come!

I probably would have, had she/they not driven me away.

For two reasons: I loved them, and I also am the commit-for-life type. I don't think a majority of people really understand what the value of real commitment actually is, in a personal sense-of-life way.

It's also a point of slightly confusing irony to me, how many people claim to strongly disapprove of people who have sex in exchange for money, but think it's perfectly fine to exchange sex for a sense of reinforcement of their own ego-based sense of how the world works. The difference is only very subtle.

I'm thinking about the roast that I am going to put on to cook.

Thinking about how I should not let my attitude about something , however wrong it is, control my emotions.

Indiana has one of the largest wind farms in the world, producing electric. There is roughly 1063 turbines in use, in an area northwest of Indianapolis, that extends to the Indiana-Illinois boarder. These, are BIG ones. Towers roughly 400 feet tall, with 3 blades about 125 feet in length.

Problem- your average wind turbine will never pay for itself in electricity. They claim 20 years, but with maintenance cost, It's debatable if they will. Farmers get $8,000 a year per unit installed, so it's a "Windfall" for them. (Feel free to groan now)

Yeah, I recycle. But when I generate about a bag full of trash in three weeks time, then it's almost not worth it. But I do pickup scrap steel, like water heaters and appliances on the side of the road. Hey! Park a twenty dollar bill at the end of your drive- I'll gladly stop and take it.

No AC for me. Love it when it gets hot. For heat, I use recyclable wood pellet fuel. I went green, and found out that heat now runs me about $800 a season. Mine goes on sale! Does yours?

Funny how people change the topic to suit their viewpoint. The original post was asking about what you look for in a "real man." Maybe it is me, but I do not recall the post asking about what constitutes "Mr. Wonderful."


There is a large bit of real estate between a "real man" (bwahahahaha) and what would get you hot and bothered.
