Well I went shopping for a new fan last night. I found a great little fan that for its size; it blows out a lot of air. It’s a metal fan and it set me back about 12 bucks. So for the cost and what it does, I am pleased with my purchase. There are so many different models that claim to be quiet and perform all sorts of tricks. I have noticed that even some of the newer Sealy mattresses are incorporating a Coolmax type product that actually helps to absorb your body heat and keep the mattress much cooler.

Now I like to have a breeze blowing on my face at night. Especially during the hot summer nights . I know some people just can’t sleep without a fan. It is something that you get use to. It’s not just the air that is constantly blowing over you, but the sound of the fan. The sound is a constant soothing noise that helps us to fall asleep. I got a real good night’s sleep last night, with my new small fan blowing in my face. I normally go with the normal size window fans that are made out of plastic, but this high velocity fan made out of metal works just as good. It doesn’t take up that much space either, so finding a place to put it, is much better than the bigger plastic fans.

I have struggled to find just the right update on renewable energy for the site. I keep reading about certain bills being brought forward to create more initiative in this demanding area. Of course we have all heard about the new gas mileage mandates for our auto industry, but I cannot find anything that would create goals for wind and solar. It still does not have the voice that is should. Where is T Boone Pickens right now? Is it true that he is holding back on his windfarm investment in Texas? You would think that now there would be a ground swell of support. We could invest in our own country’s future and infrastructure that will last for generations to come! Yet, it does not make the headlines. Whose to say. Perhaps it should just be the power of the people and not what makes headlines.There are companies like Enigin that employ consultants to help businesses find ways to save on their energy costs. If the people in the grassroots were to stand up for this with their own personal investment in renewable energy, then the government would take notice and hopefully drive more to consider this amazing power without a government that hates us in control. Now would be the time to invest in your home to at least be ready to hook up your car to electric charging devices and have a back up solar package ready to go. Why not, I guess we are still spoiled. We’ll see how it all shakes out.

The WSJ reported today that yet again car sales are down 44-53% across the big 3. Toyota is even going to its government looking for money. Are we content with the cars we have? Are we all following the gospel of Dave Ramsey now and driving the beater? Or are we all still on a holding pattern waiting to see what happens next. People, your are the person to make the first move. But what move will it be. I will still predict that with the crushing economy upon us, we will reflect and see how we got into the mess. Such as buying cars we could not afford and dropping in debt from the last car into the new loan. Or how about the great debt consolidation by putting your short term credit card debt into your 30 year home mortgage? This has forced people to find replacement parts like a 2002 – 2005 Jeep Liberty a/c condenser that they can use to repair their current vehicle without looking to buy a new one. Watch out, all that has come to pass and we now see the ramifications of our actions. How could anyone go to an auto dealer, look at 25k cars and up and think to themselves, yeah I will take on another loan. I may not have a job next year but look at the great deal I got. Well your great deal will sit there everyday and you stress to find ways to pay it off.
