Satellite Issues

Friday, May 28th, 2010

I’m so tired of my satellite dish giving me issues. It seems that I get my service interrupted even if a bird farts any where near my dish. I’ve been looking around on the Internet to see what the local cable company has to offer and I like what I see. I’ve submitted an email to them to find out a few more things and then I’ll most likely join up. I just hope that they can do a lot better for me than Direct TV has been able to.

Competitive solar power

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

According to an article I read on a Reuters website, a study was written by the Clean Edge and environmental nonprofit Co-op America that declared solar power will be cost competitive with fossil fuels like natural gas and coal by 2015. I think that this is wonderful news; I’d like to see a lot more alternative energy sources developed and expanded as well!

I’d love to see solar energy, wind energy, and gasoline made from algae to be our every-day energy sources! I’m sick and tired of the constant price increases of gasoline, and being held hostage by the companies and countries that are raking in record (and obscene) profits from their oil.

May Day

Friday, May 7th, 2010

I remember as a kid we used to make up a few nice baskets with ribbons and flowers and place them on our neighbor’s door step, ring the bell, and then run away. I wonder what happened to that lovely May Day tradition. And when is the last time you heard of someone doing the May Pole event?
