(no subject)
May. 19th, 2009 08:22 amDue, I assume, to my enrollment in We Energies "Energy For Tomorrow" program (wherein my rate paid for each kilowatt-hour is subject to a surcharge, and We Energies ensures that at least that amount of power is generated from renewable resources), I recieved a post card advertising a tour at the Blue Sky Green Field Wind Energy Center. (That's a mouthful!)
Regrettably, I can't get there from work tomorrow before the tours end at seven o' clock. It's in Malone, a two and a half hour drive from here. But I thought I'd post the link in case anyone else is interested. It says no reservations are required, and I have a feeling that they'll give a tour to anyone who shows up, going by the document. Which, by the way, is accessible here.

It's really too bad I can't make it; I'd love to get some close-up pictures of the turbines! I'm pretty sure I drove by it on the way home from the Keweenau peninsula last Spring, and thought it was pretty neat.
It looks like I'll be in Rochelle this weekend with my dad and grandfather, and possibly my doggie, to see trains, and then there's a family get together the next day. I think. I'll have to confirm which day that is. I'm looking forward to getting out there again. And the weekend after that, it looks like I'm going road tripping with my brothers. Yay!
For now, must get through another day at work. And deposit my check at lunch. I was surprised to learn over the weekend that money was not put in my account on the 15th. Instead, because I just changed my direct deposit to a new bank, I had a live check in the mail. Which I was not aware of until I found that I had next-to-no money. Oops. In other excitement, I plan to buy kitty litter today (I actually remembered the refillable bucket!) and go to the gym after work, for the first time in several weeks.
