Hey all!
BOB! Here is a good NPR story!!!

This is a story about the wind tower we erected at the school. My electrical kids did it and they did a GREAT JOB!
Ryan Martinho did VERY well during this interview! He is one of my seniors and will do well in life. I am proud!
Get a LOAD of all the funny accents!!!

Hey I'm glad to hear it isn't just Californians who are concerned about energy, global warming, and the environment! We need to hear more good news about people who are making a difference. Thanks for sharing this with us, CJ!

Very cool John.
Now I have yet another thing to pick your brain on. I've been toying with the idea of putting a wind generator somewhere on the farm. Maybe this will be the impetus to move ahead with some sort of project. Knowing me I've got another 10 years of thinking to do on it, but maybe . . .
