Our dependence on oil is coming to an end in the near future. I keep seeing new experimental energy sources. Some of them will probably work. Here's the latest:

New technique creates cheap, abundant hydrogen: report

CHICAGO (AFP) - US researchers have developed a method of producing hydrogen gas from biodegradable organic material, potentially providing an abundant source of this clean-burning fuel, according to a study released Monday.The technology offers a way to cheaply and efficiently generate hydrogen gas from readily available and renewable biomass such as cellulose or glucose, and could be used for powering vehicles, making fertilizer and treating drinking water.

Since the school district in its stupidity has locked us out of our “C” drives and therefore made the computers next to worthless, I’ve been trying to find some cheap flash drives so I can try to get along without the “C” drive. I’ve been using one that’s about the size of a stick of Dentine, the Kingmax in 1 GB, but I haven’t had much luck in finding another except for a company on Amazon, that wants to charge almost as much for shipping as the price of the flash drive. Every time I find one on sale it’s sold out. I’m also shopping for a cheap computer to take to school, but by the time I add all the software I would need it ain’t cheap anymore. I have some software that I use to make Power Point presentations and it must access the “C” drive, so it’s just not useable anymore. No wonder the district can’t keep teachers.

We have a three day weekend (the kids have 4) this weekend and Thanksgiving the weekend after next, so that’s two weeks in a row with short weeks, yay!

I also lit the first fire today. It’s been cool enough for heaters and the AC is not done down stairs so we used the old fashioned wood flame. Ah warm!
