Wisdom? 2008-03-17 09:01:52 I recently received an email that required me to stop and think about my attempt at writing.

One of my favorite lines was spoken by a mild mannered individual named Forrest. “Life was like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.” and it is so true. [...]
Writing ideas 2008-03-16 12:28:38 In the many years I have utilized a typewriter, and keyboard, I have never made it past the hunt and peck system of constructing sentences, and I really admire those who can gaze at the screen while typing 120 words per minute.

Blog vs. Website 2008-03-16 10:48:25 The word on the street is that websites are slowly becoming the modern day dinosaur, and the blog site is taking over the internet.

Natural resources 2008-03-12 06:31:14 There are approximately 6.5 billion human beings living here on this tiny planet. Everyone one of us requires a minimum of water, food, and shelter. Just for basic survival needs, our consumption of natural resources is tremendous. Projecting past the state of just surviving, what limited natural resources we utilize to support a lifestyle of [...] Read more:Natural
Solar advances 2008-03-11 10:02:34 The newest solar panels are designed to have an even longer life expectancy than the older models as older panels have a tendency turn brown in the clear substrate that the solar cells are mounted in. This discoloring reduces their power output. Utilizing new plastics in the construction of panels has all but eliminated this [...] Read more:Solar
Alternative energy resources 2008-03-10 13:14:13 With the ever increasing cost of energy and all the additional cost increases in most consumer goods, and looking realistically to the future, the days of cheap energy are over.

Life lessons 2008-03-08 10:52:17 There are times I sit in amazement that I have made it the 55 years I have been in existence. I look back at some of the decisions I had made as a kid, shake my head, and give thanks that I’m still here to enlighten and entertain the few who read this. Growing [...]

build it tight
insulate it properly
orient it for solar gain
correctly install efficient equipment
install proper ventilation.
To build the house tight, you need a continuous, durable air barrier surrounding the living space. There are a number of ways to do this effectively, such [...]
A story 2008-03-18 09:15:14 Many years ago, my best friend and I decided we would pursue a career in the world of 18 wheel transportation. We felt that as friends, we should find a position as team drivers for a freight company and spend our weeks on the road, seeing the country, and meeting new and exciting people.

Words 2008-03-21 09:23:04 Writing is the sequential stringing of words to create a picture in the minds of the readers by catching their initial interest, and continuing to pull them deeper into your world. It does not matter what the subject is, it is still a world you have created and want to populate. Using the [...] Read more:Words
Another excuse 2008-03-20 07:34:30 Every so often an idea for a post flitters across the frontal lobe only to recede into darkness as another idea manifests itself from the original, so before attempting to list the following as one of my excuses for my deficiency in imagination, I read an article on adult ADD, or attention deficit disorder.

Speculation 2008-03-22 22:43:08 In writing, one needs to be very careful when using words to create worlds. Some words you use may come back to haunt the writer. A case for example; James Tiptree, Jr.

Posting revisited 2008-04-25 06:25:39 The long, arduous odyssey of returning to the northern frontier is finally complete.

More Ramblings 2008-05-24 07:04:01 Evil stalked the still and lonely stagnate night. It’s elusive presence perceived only by a chill that slowly spread up one’s backbone, evolving into a conscience and foreboding dread, and it was reinforced by a sound like a whisper of breathe from a long forgotten nightmare…..
I have always had a desire to write a [...]
The art of dreams 2008-06-24 04:05:30 Dreams are a wonderous thing. They lift you to the heavens, and bring you back down gently. They infuse in one the perserverence, motivation, and determination to reach success, no matter how or what one defines personal success.
