Dropped off old stuff yesterday and brought in a humongous tank for Biodiesel, then immediately went to the back of a favorite local restaurant (where I eat often). I blew a fuse on my $130 diesel pump pushing 700 pounds of rice oil into this tank last night, then unloaded the tank and oil, then packed 3/4 ton of concrete my truck the next day. This truck was made in 1984 when they still put tie downs on the outside of the bed...so useful as you can see.

A totally electric powered small airplane did a test flight on a runway much like the Wright brothers.

Think about the things we purchase…

Today is the day. Personally I stretched up towards the sun, and bent down to the earth, experiencing the realization that I am part of the Earth, animated by the Sun.



The elements of stardust gathered by gravity into a ball and cooled to become rocks, showered with water from comets, thus becoming our Earth.



The sun showers our Earth with energy and breathes the water and the rocks to life.



That life eventually stands upon the surface and contemplates who and how and… Continue

This 5,630 acre area where the Russian River joins the Pacific Ocean, north for 2.5 miles up Hwy 1, and east going up the Russian River for miles, is full of microclimates, habitats, and protected species. On top of that, it's a wonderful hiking area, which will not be bought up and cordoned off with expensive sprawling homes.



This announcement was made Dec. 17th, 2009, what a wonderful day, not only for Sonoma County, but for the country, and ultimately, the world. This area could… Continue
