We have two or three of weeks yet, before we get our first real snow. It rarely stays on the ground more than a week or so at a time before February.
Wood is mostly in, split, & stacked.
Dozer needs the oil changed, then it’s ready for winter.
4X4’s already serviced. Cisterns winterized, chimneys cleaned, wood stoves ready. Chains on the garden tractor.
Garden spread with compost, chips, & manure; and then tilled & mulched for winter. Snow-dozer blade on the tiller, and it’s serviced for the winter.
The problem is that he will quadruple or quintuple energy prices. That means cold houses in winter, hot houses in summer, jobs fleeing the US, travel will be a luxury nobody can afford.
"Mobilizing a citizenry"??? You bet we will be mobilized. To send you straight back to Indonesia for starters, you damn communist tyrant.
Dugg! Thanks for the link!
The “lunacy” being his plan to cripple this nation by cutting off the energy flow and thus shutting down production and transportation
Make sure this gets out! I sent this video out to all my email friends and then they send to their friends. We don’t need higher electric bills!!!!!

Investigating Obama: Career Path Toward a Neo-Marxist Presidency

‘Let this be a lesson kids.
Don’t smoke crack!’
Why not?
Sadly, the real lesson children will learn is that making good speeches and hiding your real intentions can make you the most powerful man in the world, or at least get you awful close.
To add a little to your post, I ride the bus to college (pay for it in tuition and parking is $8.00 per day so you are kinda forced to) It takes 45 minutes to go 15 miles. Also the buses here in Milwaukee are very dangerous and just plain disgusting.
Given that: 1) such technology doesn't exist, 2) he will control lots of money, 3) he wants "fairness" for the historically oppressed (read: black reparations), Obambi will be setting up legions of black entrepreneurs (New Black Panther Party types to the front of the line; even empty suited ones like himself--all the better for follow-on funding "requirements") who can get a mediocre proposal together, whether for $500K or $500M.
He'll act as if it's analogous to AIDS or cancer research. The workers will all be required to be unionized, and just like his Chicago Annenberg Challenge, $100M will buy squat in terms of real improvements.
Oh, and the availability of the hoped-for new technology? That'll pushed back long into the future, as if the Soviet System (stripped of its best espionage assets) were the best way to see that things would be done.

This article will be good in an email along with the article stating that AEP Ohio is asking for a 45% rate increase over the next 3 years.
“Shades of Jimmy Carter. Break out your sweaters, sit in the dark, keep your house so cold you could store a side of beef in your living room, and wipe out your checking account on newer energy efficient appliances.”
Never underestimate what Americans will pay to save money.
Great................................
“If we can’t make that argument persuasively enough...”
Well I am not persuaded! Why didn’t you talk about this more Obama if it is so important!
seriously, why would obama want to make us dependant on the arabs? I think we all agree on premise, but lets keep things in perspective. wild claims only hurt our cause and credibility. we need to convince people, not just insult obama (fun as it may be).
Your tomatoes sound like ours. What there are of them are wrapped in newspaper “ripening”. Potatoes did great though, and it was cool enough that we got peas through most of the summer. Do not mention squash or pumpkins.
Still trying to finish getting the roof reshingled. Close to 2/3 finished, but my knees can only take so much of the steep pitch before I have to come back in & set a spell in front of the keyboard.
No lawn. Between the four seasons of brown, greenish, brwon, and frozen solid, it was much easier to naturalize the area to bulbs & hardy perrenials. If I feel the need to sit on the grass, well there’s always a hundred or so acres of pasture; or we can visit friends in town.
I remember them as well. My Dad was pretty inventive in finding ways to cut energy costs with 4 daughters in the house. He brought home flashlights for everyone, we would turn off everything and play "flashlight tag".
Took me years to figure out that he was saving money...LOL!
