Fifty-six years

That’s 672 months

Or 2,912 weeks

Or 20,440 days

We’ve been married 75% of our entire lives.  28 times as long as I was gone overseas.  That’s how we used to measure our time together; “We’ve been married half as long as I was gone” or “twice as long as I was gone”.  We’ve been married so long now, we don’t measure it that way anymore.  We wake up every morning and celebrate another day together.  It’s a Happy Anniversary.

Trials

Motorcycles?  We don’t need no stinking motorcycles!

We don’t need a gas-powered motorcycle.  We don’t need an electric motorcycle.  All we need are Trials Bikes!

They don’t take any fuel.  They don’t make any noise.  They don’t take much space.  They don’t even annoy the neighbors (unless we’re practicing on their front steps).

Let’s all watch the video, then get out there.  We’ll be driving up and over picnic tables in no time!

As we get better, we’ll look like this:

When we’re ready for the big time, this is what it’s going to look like:

A moment in time

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/renewable-electricity-powered-california-just-shy-of-100percent-for-the-first-time-in-history/ar-AAWPryB?ocid=iehp&li=BBnb7Kz

At that moment, in the middle of a hot day, every significant bit of energy being used in California was from renewable resources.  How amazing is that!?

Texas produces a lot of wind energy.  California is more reliant on solar.  I had no idea any state was doing so well though.  It was only for one moment in time when all the energy usage was matched by renewable input, and there is a long way to go to be able to store excess green energy so that it can be used later, but what a significant milestone.  The hard work continues, newer better facilities continue to get built, and there will be many more moments in time just like this.

Clean-energy jobs.  Pollution free clean energy.  What a win!
