The United States imports more than 70% of our oil at a cost of $700 billion a year, leaving us vulnerable to oil marketers and foreign competition. Cleaner, cheaper and domestic energy sources provide the critical energy independence essential for our economic stability and our national security.

July 31st, 2008 · No Comments
As I am planning for the future, decided to put in a Dual Flush Toilet. After research, bought the Toto Aquia II Toilet. ($390 including tax and lid) This WaterSense approved toilet does qualify for a water Rebates in San Diego, but you have to submit your water bill. Unfortunately (or fortunately) our Condo Association pays the Water Bills, so couldn’t tell you if I was saving water.

July 31st, 2008 · No Comments
Can a car really be a valid part of the American driving experience whether it hasn’t been involved in at least one fender bender? It’s kinda like the tree falling in the woods question. whether all the Teslas were under protective covers in museums, they couldn’t be demonstrating the awesome potential of the electric car. Sadly, it seems that the Tesla Roadster has now passed through that threshold into auto history. And while it hurts to see a beautiful car mangled, in a way it’s a sign of…

New external hard drive gets green and pretty
July 31st, 2008 · No Comments
External drives are probably not high on your shopping list of stuff you want to buy greener, but every little bit helps – particularly when the drive looks that appealing. Fabrik has released the “SimpleTech [re]drive”, which is being advertised as the “most energy-efficient, resource-conscious, Turbo USB 2.0 external storage and backup drive.”. With claims of a 90% energy-use reduction by other drives, mostly coming from an efficient ability supply and a fan-less cooling system, the 500…

Have maniac builders rip out the ceiling, cupboards, and punch a hole through the wall where a window will be installed in what will be the en-suite, once the wall goes up dividing the room into two parts. Plasterers come by and plaster the en-suite (1/3 of the former nursery) and the family bathroom (2/3 of the former nursery). In the meantime live in a piece-of shit-mostly-str

WHAT THE HECK?!
July 31st, 2008 · No Comments
UPDATE: It looks like I over-reacted to the situation. Evidently I WILL still be doing the plumbing… it’s a bit confusing, but that seems to be the gist of the situation. I think. Uncle Norman has just suggested different parts and such that we might need, evidently? (While also stating that HE wasn’t going to put me down under the house. Which is fine… I can get there all by myself. I mean, the entire bathroom floor will be gone! I’m sure I can find somewhere to crawl under lol) I apologize
