Hello, everyone! Well I cant believe that Spring Break is already over, where did the time go. Ok, yall brace yoursleves, I went to.......Lubbock, Texas for a few days over my Spring Break, my aunt lives there and I like to go see her to get away. I drove, that is a long 6 hour drive but I discovered that it can be made in 5 going 80mph an hour and you know what else I found out, I can gas up in Lubbock, get a full tank and go 80 mph, I can get all the way to Council and Hefner without filling up my tank. That is super good!!!!!!!!! I usually have to fiill up around Yukon but not this time. I did buy some jeans and some t-shirts but not much else. My aunt and uncle are big wine drinkers, they can go through a bottle a night and I wonder if they recycle their bottles, I meant to ask but forgot. She did mention that in Lubbock, they do recycle their bottles and use them for a mulch like substance or substitute. I have seen it, it looks really neat, really harsh, real Southwest like, but I think its a great idea, that is the towns way of going "green".
So I got back on Tuesday and really just worked the rest of the week, I did help paint my parents new home that they bought, they were watching my neice and nephews while my sister was in Omaha for the week so that was good, I got to spend a couple days with them. My moms backyard needs some serious help so that is going to be me Summer project. Anyway, I guess now its time to satrt thinking about the last few weeks of school, I cant believe that graduation is less than 2 months away!!!!! There is so much to do. Dont loose focus seniors, not that much longer :)
Till next time gang.

Hello everyone,
This week has been so hectic, my little neice who is just 4 months old in 10 days is in the hospital, anyway. So I was doing some research on solar and wind power and I did learn that the best kind of wind power is that done off-shore, I thought that was kind of intersting. I dont agree with the stimulus bill that the Democrats just passed, I do hope that they actually use some money to invest in alternative means, such as wind and solar power. It almost seems dumb that we dont have this already. The sun is FREE!!!! and yeah it may not be sunny all the time and maybe it is considered to be a "back-up", but if places strategically across the United States then it should solve some problems. Im afraid thats all I have today, I will try to get more out next week.
