The United States has far greater domestic energy resources than Iceland or Sweden does. We sit atop the second-largest geothermal resources in the world. The American Midwest is the Saudi Arabia of wind; indeed, North Dakota, Kansas, and Texas alone produce enough harnessable wind to meet all of the nation’s electricity demand. As for solar, according to a study in Scientific American, photovoltaic and solar-thermal installations across just 19 percent of the most barren desert land in the Southwest could supply nearly all of our nation’s electricity needs without any rooftop installation, even assuming every American owned a plug-in hybrid.
i took 14 photos for the 'day in the life of asheville' photo project that happened Friday and Saturday. dozens of people are submitting photos to a flickr group and local judges will pick a set to be printed and hung at the Pack Library. you can submit 15 photos to be judged & pick one as your favorite that automatically gets hung. i have one i'm leaning towards but if anybody cares to opine anonymously on this poll or anywhere else please do. you can vote unlimited times.
speaking of black widows, here's a fingerpainting from 2005 that i called 'self portrait.' the hourglass is full of marriage license, the marriage was 5 years ago today. at this point i had never seen a real black widow. since then i have seen dozens. i think karma sent them to live with me.
another motherfucking black widow in a different fucking window. the house is absolutely infested i am convinced. while moving this week i have killed 3 others. all small like this. but all block weedows, i am positive.
Tea Leaf Green's Kali Yuga from the album Living in Between available on the box set "Seeds" - released April 22nd, 2008 - Earth Day on Surf Dog Records, video by AG
Kali-Yuga
how far will we go on monday i asked cause our speed had increased that germ of transcendence is always within us, at least
i know we’ve got to keep on going a fast car won’t ever rust and these hands of invisible organic forces are pushing and pulling us
it’s a long way through Kali-yuga age of iron cooled in the ocean and mountains are for exploring
devils have danced on my doorstep and angels have sung in my yard wise men are hiding in the mountains while most of us are working too hard
speed is our last great invention we race and we roll to arrive by mineral, by mountain, by magnet and meteor it’s hard enough to just get by
it’s a long way through Kali-yuga age of iron cooled in the ocean and the mountains are for exploring dgold.info/green for all tea leaf green lyrics
"that germ of transcendence is always within us, at least" a lyric doesn't get better
stopped at a red light on the way to the dermatologist this morning, the four cars behind me smashed into each other in a crushed metal and plastic chain reaction. thank you to the driver of the volvo behind me for hitting your brakes hard enough to not hit me.
my moles are beauty marks! keep em covered & come back in 2 years. he didn't even mention my bruises.
the man who signed in ahead of me at the office was born in 1912. he drove himself to the doctor in a spotless new honda civic and walked tall into the office unaided. he was pretty wrinkled, i think he was there for botox.
i went to pick up my computer with the repaired power supply and the computer at the computer repair shop was broken so they couldn't process credit cards and want me to send a check instead.
my move yesterday was a success. i drove a 26 foot truck around these winding asheville streets, even backing out of a narrow lane, without hitting anything. two incredibly amazingly nice friends helped me move all my big heavy furniture to my new place, and my arms and legs feel dead and are covered in scrapes, scratches and bruises the size of dill pickles. my back is in a constant state of clench. the toilet in the new place is still a hole in the floor. i have a few moles i want a dermatologist to look at and say 'beauty marks' so i called to make an appointment back in december and my insurance is so lame they wouldn't let me go to any just any doctor, so i have to go to a male doctor & the earliest appointment they had was for four months later - 815 tomorrow morning. it's supposed to be snowing tomorrow morning. and i am covered in bruises. but i am also fluorescent white which i think is a good time to see the dermatologist about sun spots.
