I don’t know what YOU’RE doing, but As Hurricane Gustav bears down on US, we’re starting to get ready…
To run like the devil was chasing us!
Are YOU ready?
Most predictions now, are that Hurricane Gustav will make landfall as a Category 3, near SW New Orleans, LA. And, we’re gonna start seeing the rain and high [...]

Well, it seems that Hurricane Gustav is still trying to figure out where he’ll make entry.
Experts are now saying that the hurricane will come ashore somewhere between New Orleans, and Galveston. I suppose that’s it the high pressure area holds, and everything else works like it’s “supposed” to.
I’m not sure I’d wanna be the one [...]

So…
Something wicked this way comes! The hurricane approacheth! LOL!
But, we’re really not laughing, except in fits of hysteria. They say that “waiting is the hardest part,” and old Tom P. must have known what he was talking about. After all, you gotta believe a guy who hangs around with “Heartbreakers,” right?
The storm is presently here:
And [...]

Well, at least my “brainchild” is…
As Hurricane Gustav approaches, all eyes are on the horizon. We wait to see if we’re gonna get blasted again, and it’ll give us another chance to practice “treading water.” Now, I’m not gonna wish “Gus” on someone else, I’m just wishing he doesn’t show up here. I have enough [...]

Hey Campers,
It looks like we’re gonna get some torrential rain, in a few hours!
For those of you following along, I’d planned to explain the “Ins and Outs of Photovoltaics” today (I even had most of it already prepared!), but instead, I’m shoveling dirt, and filling sand bags! ARGH!
The National News guys are telling us that [...]

As you probably already know, my family is building a new house. Now, it’s not your “ordinary house.” It’s an extraordinary house, because we’re using garbage and recycled components to build it? Yep. That’s exactly what we’re doing.
Why? Because it’s affordable, it’s efficient, and it’s within our grasp.
I bet you thought I was gonna start [...]

Okay, so it’s happened again…
No! This is not a public address message from the “Britney Spears does it again” Early Warning system…
But… Man, this is getting to be a habit. I must be doing something right!
First, DIY goes after me. Then, Paris Hilton badmouths me. And now, this…
I’m gonna have to start a “Banned In [...]

Okay, my wife has been saying that for years…
It’s come to my attention that the theme I was using (you know, the “black” one) was hard to read, and caused some people difficulty.
I liked it because it just appealed to my “black little heart,” but…
But I’ve gotten several emails that made suggestions (some of them [...]
