How to be energy independent
- FREE yourself from oil, gasoline and electricity bills in less than a year. You can do this with just a small amount of effort, a little bit of money , some planning and the ability to learn a few basic concepts. First thing you must do is forget all the negative comments and opinions about solar and wind energy that you have heard. This stuff does work, has worked for a long time and will continue to work for as long as the sun still shines. The amount of sunshine that hits the earth every single day is enough to supply the worlds total energy needs 100 times over. Stated another, perhaps simpler way of saying this is that we only need to harness 1% of the solar energy that hits the earth today to supply the current energy needs of the world today. You can quote me on that if you want, but I ran into that fact about a year ago and ask that you give me time to do more research, verify the sources and obtain additional input on this subject. Anthony, We may be unable to “fuel” the nation by 100% with wind and solar with the tecnology we have today, but with the use of geothermal, smarter housing and building design we can reduce the energy we use for heating and cooling purposes to almost zero in the next 10 years. With the use of solar PV and the widespread use of electric cars we can reduce the amount of gas and oil we use by 50% almost overnight and with some changes to to current laws and intelligent application of technology we can become totally self sufficient with our energy needs in less than 10 years. Mankind has made some amazing progress in the last 100 years or so.
File:Light bulb Edison 2.jpg Thomas Edison was awarded a patent in 1880 for his electric light bulb. Many things have changed since that time. We have made many improvements to trains and automobiles which were already in existance in that period of time. Telephones, television, spaceships, rockets, computers and all kinds of new stuff now fills our daily reality, yet half of todays world population still lives without electricity and a reliable source of clean and drinkable water. Right now I am forced to pause due to time constraints. I have may tasks to acheive today so that I will be prepared for the challenges that need to be dealt with on Monday, which is October 1st. We will be toasting 2013 in just another 90 days or so ! Halloween candy, trick or treating, costumes, decorations, Thanksgiving which I always start with the GobbleJog a charity run to help the local folks who are hungry and homeless, Christmas shopping, etc. etc…I will return to finish this post as soon as time and inspiration allows.
Interesting article. Learned things about life in the Middle East. Never heard of the Salafists or el nas, but they are the guys we have been seeing with those black flags. They are extremist sharia law supporters and they are behind much of the violence. Check out this article from TIME, it is very informative and sheds a lot of light the current events around the world. It is very sad about the killing of our Ambassador . There is one small remark that I feel compelled to share with the world and it will hopefully be tranlated into many languages. Blessed are the Peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God. Rest In Peace Ambassador. Your work here is done and you did an excellent job as a man and as a peacemaker during your short time here on earth. May peace find all who read this.
A Dead Man Writes Home
I Died 7 years ago. Ok, should have died a few years ago to be completely honest. Up until that point I led a pretty good life or at least the earlier years had been pretty good. Lived in a nice house with both my parents and brother and sister. We always had food to eat, ate dinner together and spent endless hour outside riding bikes and playing. My dad’s brother even built right next door and added a cement pond in the backyard. School brought new people, books, challenges, knowledge and skills each year and I eventually learned to read, write, add, spell (still working on this) and well other stuff. New schools, new friends, teachers etc/ and then work… Now, I have graduated from years of study at various hopitals and from the looks of things I will be around for a while longer. Just take my stoopid pills (yes, the spelling is correct), eat all my veggies, stay off my feet, excercise, keep a positive outlook, stay away from bad things…………..whoa, hold the phone darlin’, stay away from BAD THINGS ????!!!!! Yes, there is a list stuff, like red meat,BBQ pork, salt, soda, potato chips, pork chops, fat, butter, milk, white bread, choclate, ice cream, candy, cakes, pies, donuts, motorcycles, horseback riding. stress, fast cars and fast women. There is more, much more…pages and pages more. Just eat my veggie burger, my meatless meatloaf, my tofu, quinonia(?), bean curd patty and shut up !
ALL THINGS CONSIDERED…. Life is pretty good. I have survived almost bleeding to death from a burst blood vessel in my belly, lived through a stroke without having and paralysis or other long term effects. Still need a liver transplant according to the Dr.’s and that is a whole different kettle of fish and can’t even get on the list at this point. The days keep passing by one at a time and I am doing the best I can and it is not enough in my opinion. Try to gain some forward momentum or make some progress, but it has been so slow its like tyring to watch grass grow. Feels like I have been buried in sand up to neck in sand. The government has promised to do a feasibility study to see if I need help as soon as I fill out a 60 page application along with a detailed financial forecast , a DNA sample, a clearance letter from my Dr. stating that I will be able to survive being unburied along with more tests, meetings, commitee reviews and all that sort of thing. I have already done tons of research and have spent countless hours learning and trying new things and I have come to a few basic conclusions. Try again and again, try harder, smarter, longer and never, never, ever give up. Hope you all have a Great Labor Day my friends. Live, love, laugh, swim, play, swim, dance and BBQ for tomorrow is another of effort, work and that uphill battle we call life.

Memories of Mooch
Hi my name is Rich and I live in the great little town of Kennesaw Ga that is about 30 minutes North of Downtown Atlanta. Interesting mix of folks around these parts. Business owners, Churches. cowgirls, city girls, college girls, fun girls, smart girls, stunning girls, blonde girls, brunette girls, red head girls, LOL. Think I like girls ? I love girls, ladies, women and almost everyone who was born as a female. I have been a bachelor for 53 years now. Engaged twice, had a handful of relationships that lasted 2+ years. The last one lasted almost 13 years off and on, mostly on and yes she was a very pretty blonde with loads of God given talent, but never succeeded in getting getting her sober enough to deal with reality. The heavy boozing was starting to wear me down and it seemed very clear cut. Stay and die a broken hearted old drunk or leave her and start a new life someplace new. So I packed my work van with clothes and tools and with my best friend riding shotgun we headed south to find someplace warmer, sunnier and nicer than the coastline of New Jersey. With Moochies advice and guidance we arrived in Atlanta, Georgia a few days later. We would have taken a month if I had listened to ALL of Moochies advice. He was addicted to McD’s double cheeseburger, hold the pickle,tomato, lettuce, onions and mustard. To watch him inhale a whole burger and then spit out the veggies was comical. Pretty impressive act for a big black beast of a labrador retriever ! For 12 1/2 years he was my almost ever present companion. He hated being apart from his daddy and would sit by the door and howl and cry whenever I had to leave him alone. I learned the meaning of Unconditional Love from him. Also learned how to speak “dog”. It’s a very interesting language full on non verbal actions, postures, looks and actions. Whenever he saw the golden arches he would smack me with his paw and look back and forth at me and the big beautiful yellow and red sign and once I acknowleged that I saw the sign he would start the stare down. Mooch understood human speech every well. If I dared to use the words later, next time, too busy to stop or any type of excuse he would erupt with a speech on how much he loved his favorite restaurant and their delicious and juicy burgers.
