Thank you for your letter. It appears that you danced around my concerns about geothermal energy incentives with a budgetary list of how the Canadian government is years behind in cleaning up its act. 20 percent reduction by 2020. Well it is a start but 11 years of ozone depletion and global warming could get ugly.
You stressed how economics are as important as environmentalism. I have this response. Why was voter ECONOMIC concerns over incentives to build new homes using geothermal renewable energy completely disregarded in your polite letter?
My letter asked why the Province of PEI wasn't operating as many forward thinking provinces such as BC and Ontario - rewarding grants to builders of new homes using geothermal heating. There is an incentive in place to retrofit non renewable heating with energy efficient options, but no incentive for the builder of a new home to use geothermal heating instead of the wrong thing to do - installing an oil burning furnace.
Thanks again for your letter. Here's a little hint. If you want to address someone's concerns such as mine in future, it might be worth your while to type the word "GEOTHERMAL" at least once, so I get fooled into thinking you didn't cut and paste your response from a list of possible answers, and that you actually read my letter and addressed my concerns.
One final note. If you want to address the concerns of an environmentalist, you might want to reconsider printing 3 single sided pages and mailing a letter. The printer electricity not to mention the postal service gasoline for delivery to my neighborhood has just made your carbon footprint larger...when a simple email reply would have been sufficient.
Damn fb is ruining my blog urges. The time I used to spend writing is now sucked up by reading. Today I'm saying stick it FB, I have important things on my mind that need saying!
My friend Mark just sent me this email. I always cringe at forwards, but he rarely forwards those cheesy email, so I kept reading thinking it must be good. The following is the email, you be the judge yourself. (Cheesy forwarding bits like "YOU"RE GOING TO LOVE THIS" edited at my discretion. )
This guy was lonely and so he decided life would be more fun if he had a pet. So he went to the pet store and told the owner that he wanted to buy an unusual pet. After some discussion he finally bought a centipede, (100 leg bug), which came in a little white box to use for his house.
He took the box home, found a good location for the box, and decided he would start off by taking his new pet to the bar for a drink. So he asked the centipede in the box, 'Would you like to go to Frank's place with me and have a beer?' But there was no answer from his new Pet. This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes and then asked him again, 'How about going to the bar and having a drink with me?' But again there was no answer from his new friend and pet. So he waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation.
He decided to ask him one more time. This time putting his face up against the centipede's house and shouting, 'Hey, in there! Would you like to go to Frank's place and have a drink with me?
A little voice came out of the box: 'I heard you the first time! I'm putting my fucking shoes on!'
Did I say there were important things on my mind?... SHIZAM--OOOO!
What is there to love about PEI...lobster. I drove over to Stratford Lions Club after work, and picked up 3 cooked lobster for 20 bucks.
They were so juicy I had to open them over the sink. Freq opens lobster restaurant style with one big cut down the middle, which requires using a cutting board. I just taught him how to open lobster with his hands. The "Islander" way.
That's a skill worth knowing. Never know when you'll just have a rock and a lobster to eat.
We got a new dog, Flip, a toy fox terrier. He's a little wee bit of a thing. Halo, our Manchester terrier loves Flip. They grew up together at the same breeder, and I think they have only been separated since November when we got Halo.
Flip is a retired champion too. He was the Canadian 2007 Toy Fox Terrier champion (Am/Can Ch. Valcopy Flipside). He doesn't really like Giggidy (the cat) yet. He's done this stance which we call "champion stance". Which is a perfect doggie stance with his back legs swooping down and then he has this "I'm 80 pounds" thought and tractor beam stare. He weighs in at 5 1/2 pounds.
We love him. He looks alot like Renny. I'll post pics later. Thanks to Fwaggle for giving us 2 of your now retired gems.
It's been awhile since I've seen a good science fiction movie. Star Trek opens today. I'm not as nerdy as I was 8 or 9 years ago as I couldn't find the willpower to go stand in line today for tickets. Don't get me wrong, it saddens me a little that I'm not there for the opening. I'll go on the weekend with Freck.
As far as good science fiction tv shows go, I've been really slow getting in to Battlestar Galatica. I heard all the hype and wasn't really that interested in watching. Afterall I didn't watch the original series like I did with Star Trek or Space 1999.
Mark and Angie watched the pilot episode and insisted we watch it. It's pretty awesome.

For your mathly addictions. My java calculator...(You need the Java Plug-in to view.) Psst...try dividing by zero, I think I handled that quite nicely. ;) Check it...
How do you become a geek you ask? Hmmm. I dunno. All I can tell is how it came about for me... Here's an except: 1981: I use a commodore Vic20 for the first time. 5 kb RAM + 15 kb ROM = 20 kb. I want to learn Basic.. Read More...
Ren has a bad attitude most days, he bites, but he knows tricks too.
