So, with gasolene prices bobbing up and down. And the economy also bobbing! When and what will it take to get rel action n Aternative energy?Nikola tesla(1856-1943) had the answer more then a 100 years ago!That of broadcasting wirelessly eletric power! He even set up a braodcasting tower for this at Wardecylle,Long Island(Now Shoreham, L.I.) But when he mentioned FREE ELECTRIOC POWER to hs financial backer the great Robber Baron J.P. Morga. Whos meatered eletric power intreste would have been ruined. The money was removed and Tesla went into a life long debt!To honor Dr. Tesla in 2005 and 2006 I organized the GLOBAL ENERGY INDPENDENCE DAY held every July 10th the birthdate anniversary of Dr tesla. To rembewr Tesla and promote ALTERNATIVE ENERGY AND FUELS,VeHICLES. See the Tesla memorial Society www.teslasociety.com And Pure Energy Systems A Community Built Alternative energy site www.Peswiki.comNikola Tesla/GloBAL ENERGY INDPENDENCE DAY. No!!!!! What is neeeded is REAL ACTIO NOW!!!! Perhaps at least a Day to rember Nikola tesla And PROMTING ALTERNATIVE ENERGY is one way to do this?
I have a step-nephew with the same as well. His sister's is the same as my grandfather's, two days earlier. I worked it out -- it was about 44 years ago I identified this day as a day to note. (Can you tell I'm an engineer?)
Um. Can you pick a place with bolder waitresses then (bagpipe-friendly)? Or how about waiters? (I'm tired of waiting in the kinds of places that have "waitpersons" or "waitstaff.") *\;-)
I think we can accommodate you.
I learned that origin from a commercial, of all things. They said it came out of the civil war era. Sounds plausible enough.
[blather + dialectal skite, a contemptible person (from Middle English skite, diarrhea, from Old Norse sktr, excrement, from skta, to defecate; see skei- in Indo-European roots).]
And then there's ...
[Middle English shitten, probably from Old English -sciten (as in besciten, covered with excrement), past participle of *sctan, to defecate; see skei- in Indo-European roots.]
We had some gusts here in Auburn, too, but all is quiet.
Happy Easter, Everyone!
He is risen!
Just make sure whatever you say about me is true. I hate idle gossiip! LOL!
WAKE UP!
All right already....
Just need summore coffee.
Good morning! I’ve been awake for a while, but had laundry, baby-stuff, and hanging out to do :-). Anoreth wants to go to the Western store to look for cowboy boots and a hat.
*sheesh*
I’m working on a hugh cup of chocolate-raspberry cocoa. Trying to wake up.
*zzzzzz*
OK....working om ny secont cup.
I love Western stores. Since LV is host to the NRF, we have quite a few of them here, though I think they are overpriced.
When we were growing up, most department stores had the same things for less. Maybe not in much variety, but still....
Kewl!
I have The Slows again today, and may get nothing done, even though I had several things planned. *sigh*
I wuz supposed to get some stuff done this weekend, but with mother, her dog, niece, nephew, and sister, it was a rather full house.
We’re not going to find much in a department store here, and there are a couple of Western stores nearby. Very popular with our Mexican residents :-).
Anoreth has giant feet, like mine, so she’ll probably need men’s boots.
I was going to go to church, too, and I just couldn’t get moving on it. Some days, it’s all I can do to get out of bed, let alone take a shower and everything that goes with it.
Showers are overrated. You can just lie on the sofa and let your catz wash your face :-).
I took Anoreth, Sally, and Pat to church at 8:00 a.m. yesterday, and it was packed. I can’t imagine what the mobs were like for the 10:00 and 12:00 services (two at each hour, one in the sanctuary and one in the hall.) The parking was ghastly at 8:00.
I often buy men’s boots for the added width, though it’s often difficult to find them in the smaller sizes. I inherited my dad’s wide foot, but my mother’s narrow heel, so buying shoes that actually fit is difficult at best. When buying heels, I opt for sling backs.
Yah...I agree on the showers, but sometimes...well...
We stagger our church meetings, and limit the number of people for each section. When the numbers grow too large, we build another meeting house and split the membership accordingly.
Of course, I realize that isn’t always an option, but it’s how we deal with growth.
