Halloween 2020
Trick or treaters have already started to arrive in their bright and colorful costumes. Most of them have various shake lights attached as well as reflectors, making them visible to cars.
Candy has been de-emphasized over the years due to the damage it can cause, but a lot of sugar free substitutions still make the grade. A lot of the left over candies from the year are broken down for biofuels.
It's a good night to keep the lights low, keep things scary while we wait on the porch, but it's not totally dark- bio-luminescent pumpkins glow on the porch. They're really more a novelty to the more practical glow plants, spliced genetically with fireflies and some deep ocean creatures, bright bulb like structures glowing far brighter, but they work to make it spooky- and still quite edible. The lights can be a little unreliable indoors without sun exposure, but they do a dynamite job for most outdoor lighting.
The bugzapper plant glows and crackles in the night, eliminating local mosquitoes. It's current is relatively weak compared to some of the big factory style electric plants, but it does the job.
I take a deep whiff of the night air as the next group of kids comes to claim some goodies.
"Trick or treat!" the little ghouls yell. They cringe at my makeup job, green with bolts in my neck. But they don't flinch at the plants surrounding them, the real Frankenstein's monsters- but why would they? They weren't natural, but they provided light, electricity, while making more oxygen rather than less. If only we'd had the technology just a little sooner, the stars in the sky would be a little more bright.

I know not everyone is pro-genetic engineering, but it's a technology I think, if properly utilized, could lead to some fantastic results for our future. Biotechnological innovations designed around providing clean power may be an approach worth investing in, as it simultaneously reduces green house gases created by our old methods.

Fourth of July on the Lake
This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More
Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
