Climategate
Is everyone having fun with Climategate? I sure am. Anyone with a scrap of logic and interest in scientific history and the history of our planet has got to be having a laughfest at what is going on. I found 100 Reason Why Global Climate Change is Natural. It’s a great read.

What would William have done if . . .
What would this bright and determined young man have done if someone had stepped in and provided for his family when they could not provide for themselves? Would he have accomplished something that benefited not only his family but his village as well? How I Harnessed The Wind Feed a man and he learns nothing. […]

Green — new tradition or excuse?
I am starting to see a disturbing trend with my friends. I am getting electronic Christmas cards all in the name of being green and leaving a smaller carbon footprint on the earth. While I applaud them for sending me anything at all, it distresses me to read that they are sending an electronic card […]

Thinking Green
I’ve been researching different aspects of gardening and occasionally I run into a gem I just have to share. I’ve been searching for information on vertical gardening.

Save Money, Save Jobs

My partner-in-crime on this blog is truly brilliant. She has spoiled me horribly over the years by using the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) method. Now I’m a […]

Boom or Bust?
They said, “the Barnett-Shale is going to produce jobs for years to come.” They said, “the Barnett-Shale is going to open new avenues for natural gas production.” They were wrong. Well. Not totally wrong. But close. It is very true that the Barnett-Shale is the largest natural gas find in North American history. It is […]

Don’t save me from myself
In 2004 my home flooded. Not just a little either. Not as bad as New Orleans in 2005 and not as bad as Galveston in 2008. But it did flood bad enough to require moving out and rebuilding. What I learned from this experience is you have got to act quickly and you cannot rely […]

Two percent versus twenty percent
I keep hearing the US only has two percent of the world’s old, yet we use 25 percent of the world’s oil. This is SO apples and oranges. We don’t use 25 percent of the world’s oil. We use 25 percent of the world’s oil production which is a totally different thing. We need to […]
