3rd post today--video of Eli in the Barneloppet last week

Okay, today I remembered how to put video on my blog, so I thought I should add one from last week's Barneloppet ski race for the kids here in St. Cloud. Just because Eli hasn't had his own video on the blog yet. And here he is, at the end of the race. He made me so proud! Slow and steady is more his style, but he was determined to finish the race and he didn't come in last, no sir...

Unfortunately, the video timer on my camera ran out before I could get him receiving his medal, but he did really finish and get one!

Also, many more appliances are getting unplugged when not in use. 2. Heating and Cooking Energy. We are using the a/c today due to temps in the 90s and very high humidity. That is my general rule for a/c use and always has been-it has to be over 90 degrees F. and humid. Tonight when the predicted cold front passes through we'll turn it off for at least the next week of predicted 80s. 3. Gasoline. I'm biking the 2.5 miles to work every time I work, Monday, Wednesday, Friday. George is biking the 3 miles to the health club for his aerobic w...

America a Military Police State--Now Obvious to Minnesotans

From my friend Devin's blog, The Quince Urban Homestead . They and others in the Twin Cities are much more aware of what's going on down there than we are an hour north.
