 | Wind turbines, part of an 18 tower wind farm located in Velva, North Dakota. Former oilman T. Boone Pickens this week unveiled his “Pickens Plan” that calls for reducing American dependence on oil and boosting wind energy to provide 20 percent of US electricity needs.
When a guy heavily invested in natural gas and wind power says the answer to our energy woes is natural gas and wind power, it’s hard not to smirk at his Texas-size gumption. |
Mental Evaluation
A noted psychiatrist was a guest at a blond gathering, and his hostess naturally broached the subject in which the doctor was most at ease. “Would you mind telling me, Doctor,” she asked, “how you detect a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely normal?”
“Nothing is easier,” he replied. “You ask him a simple question which everyone should answer with no trouble. If he hesitates, that puts you on the track.”
“What sort of question?”
“Well, you might ask him, ‘Captain Cook made three trips around the world and died during one of them. Which one?’
The blond thought a moment, then said with a nervous laugh, “You wouldn’t happen to have another example would you? I must confess I don’t know much about history.” |
| Tracey and I are going to load up and drive to Freeport this morning to get her scooter to the repair shop. I figure the sooner we get it out of sight the sooner she will start feeling better. I was beginning to think we were going to have to just go out behind the shed and shoot it to put it out of it’s misery ... the scooter I mean. But I guess we should take it in and see if it can be fixed. |

| We made it back from our trip to Freeport at about 2:00 this afternoon and took a short nap. Both of us were tired and cramped from a day of driving back roads. The repair guy said parts usually only take a couple weeks so maybe she can have her scooter back up and running by next month. She is still unhappy but is beginning to get in better spirits. She also is a little sore in the back and shoulders from lifting the scooter improperly after she dumped it. She was just so mad at the time she didn’t think about lifting with her legs instead of her back and arms. |
