Prodigal parents, Google Earth and snotty Earth Hour rant


The prodigal parents have returned and here they are with my brother, his daughter and Mom and Dad's new dog, Emmie.  i might have that name wrong but the dog is sweet as can be.  Just one tiny ball of love.

i've wanted to post many times since my last entry but could not for one reason or another.  

i still haven't heard from my friend Debbie in Belgium.  Hi Debbie (or Barbara Morgana)!  Yoohoo!  Email me girlfriend.

Earth Hour tomorrow.  Yes, that exercise in global, we are oneness, in the name of spread the word about climate change.  i don't mean to be snotty but it's been obvious to me for a long time that we need to consume less.  First law: Reduce.  Then, Reuse, reuse, reuse. And then recycle, mi amigos.
How 'bout we power down everyday for one hour.  Require it.  Force everyone to purposely power down their life.  I'm not talking hospitals etc. or even your refrigerator but lights, TV, internets.  
i found instructions on the internets for building a solar panel and a wind turbine and i really want to build one.  They each cost less than $200.  i want to build a panel and run P's shed with it. Then build  a turbine to run a heating system for the coop.
i live in the ultimate windy city, right at the mouth of the Columbia Gorge (Google Earth that for a fun time).  The wind blows out of the gorge at this spot on the Columbia River like a wind tunnel.  Perfect for homemade wind turbines.

Google Earth is my new fun friend.  i googled my house, the town i was born in, where i went in Mexico...  Time stood still and i had to be made to stop.  

We have a long rainy weekend ahead and i haven't made a plan.  i like to plan my weekends.  i guess i do want to do the usual cleaning but beyond that i don't know.

Perhaps i will post.
Later chickies and roos.
