Living lightly upon the Earth

Saturday November 29, 2008
As I took my garbage out this morning, I thought about the concept of “living lightly upon the Earth.” I know that it goes beyond me having a low flow shower head, recycling and driving a Toyota Prius.
I own a unit in an over-55 mobile home park which I rent out and [...]

Tub bath vs. shower water experiment

Saturday November 29, 2008
After installing my new water heater yesterday, I did an experiment today when I showered, and put the plug in the drain so the tub would fill as I showered. I knew a shower used less water than a tub, but I wanted to know how much less.
When I was growing up, [...]

Lesson of the water heater; how else do I limit my experience?

Friday November 28, 2008
I was at Home Depot at 7:00am this morning and it looked like party central. I was in earlier this week looking at vertical blinds and got a quote for a $600 for a job that I ultimately decided against. Instead, I opted to spend that on a new water heater. I [...]

Thursday November 27, 2008 Thanksgiving –  I was clearing old files out and found all my old log sheets from when I was an online psychic back in the 90’s.  I worked for the Psychic Friends Network from 1992 to 1996, doing calls out of my home.

Vertical blind update; lemon ginger scallion soup

Tuesday 11-25-08
Well, today all I was going to do was to transfer these entries into the blog and have Home Depot come out and measure my windows for vertical blinds.  The measuring guys said if I want blackout coverage, verticals won’t do it and that I need the cellular shades instead.  At the store, they [...]

Buying acorn squash for Thanksgiving

11-24-08
This morning I jumped out of bed first thing and sat and finished the editing on this blog so I could get it online.  I logged in a week’s worth of mail, made up a deposit, ran some credit cards, paid all the bills and am now heading out to the bank, post office and [...]

I begin this blog; hold me up to the Light, can you see through?

11-23-08
I woke up two days ago thinking I should begin this blog and I could add history by editing material out of my journal.  That’s why the more current posts will be more detailed, since I will be writing them for the blog.  So much of my journal entries have to be edited out before [...]

Delivering Cassadaga; HB Dennis
