Here's a transcription of the last minute of our conversation:

Kirsten- What gets me is you're not an architect?

Cliff- No I'm just a tightwad.

Kirsten- Is that really all?

Cliff- No I really do hate using up resources. Oil, gas…

Kirsten- Why?

Cliff- It just makes you dependent on other people. The least you can use of natural resources the better, don't you agree?

Johnice,

Picky, picky, picky! It feels like it moves since I have the feeling that I'm standing

still. Listen to Neil Young's "Comes a Time". "This ole world keeps spinning round,

it's a wonder tall trees ain't laying down, comes a time."

[Johnice Reid-English]

It would be great if the dialogue about the sun would change: it dose NOT move, the earth does. Chasing the rays of sun is what green energy is about, we need not stop the rotation of the earth just adapt to it and enjoy what the sun has to offer.

George is still having nightmares of several beatdowns in various venues. The belly

is all muscle except for the 3 chili dogs I had just eaten. Didn't you see the mustard

on my chin?

My cat Gus is hoping you will bring Zack for a visit so that he can do some doggie beatdowns.

Was that Cliff Butler of Dunn, NC? The Butler I am thinking of is still a young. lean, mean athletic machine......is that what will happen to me when I get older? Does it have to happen? What can I do to prevent getting a pot belly like his? Shouldn't his wife have told him about horizontal stripes on a shirt when vertical stripes might make him look thinner? I thought they made old basketball players keep their shirts tails tucked in? Great house ...........and that rock fence is awesome!

I am fascinated by using passive technology.
