Green Energy

California has invested big time in "green energy" These wind towers are just a few of the thousands that filled this valley as we drove into Pasadena.
At the rally the past few days we have been impressed with the solar set-up on the trailer behind us. Frank (trailer owner) gave us a tour and explained what was installed and how it was installed. I have contacted his installer in Texas and hope to get a system installed before we return home. This will make our life on the road and back home in the trailer so much "Greener" No more generators! No more noise, fumes or spilling gas. Frank and his wife Carol have been living comfortably behind us for 4 days. They have watched TV, used their toaster, coffee maker, hair dryer and furnace without even turning on their generator once. Truth is they don't HAVE a generator. Now that's the kind of solar set-up I want.
Enjoy the party tonight and I'll try and post pictures after the Rose Bowl Parade tomorrow.
