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.

I’m sure many of you remember a TV show that use to come on in the 60’s called Flipper. It was a great television show back then and still would be today if you can find a channel showing it. There has also been a few movies made about Flipper over the years. If you have been on another planet and have never heard about Flipper, you may want to rent one of the movies sometime.

Flipper was the Lassie of the sea and was always saving the day or capturing the bad guys that needed capturing. The collie that would play Lassie on TV had it much easier and Lassie could run around on land, growl and bark to get her point across. The chirping sounds of Flipper wasn’t really that frightening; nor the fact that if you had to get away from Flipper you just needed to hop on a boat or get to land. That’s because Flipper was a dolphin!  A big difference in a dog that rescues people when you compare it to a dolphin rescuing people. Maybe one of the talented TV writers will sit down one day and write up a movie or TV series and have Lassie and Flipper both in it. Now that would be a great combination to see and they could fight trouble by land or sea. It would be like Superman and AquaMan getting together from the Superfriends to rescue everyone and make sure the bad guys got caught.

Alyssa Milano, the star from Who’s the Boss, is going to be appearing in a new movie on Lifetime March 15th called Wisegal. The director is the same man that played Donnie Brasco in the true story of his life. Alyssa’s character also involves the part of a true story. It’s a story of a woman struggling to provide for her family and gets persuaded by a Brooklyn Family mob captain, that she can make good money working for the them. Soon Alyssa’s character wants out and it’s not always as easy to leave the mob, as it is to join.

This movie will be on at 9PM EST this Saturday, March 15th. It’s called Wisegal and you can watch it on the Lifetime channel. I believe the Wisegal movie will be something worth watching on television for a change.

2007 is no longer with us and now we get to welcome in 2008! Today is the day many people will be making New Year’s Resolutions and hopefully they will at least last through the first day. I guess losing weight is the most popular one, but good luck with whatever resolution you decide to choose.

I’m hoping for a great 2008 year and I’m going to try my best and make it better than 2007. There are some traditional foods we are suppose to eat today. I think collard greens, candy yams, hog jowls and black-eyed peas is suppose to be a few things we have on our plates today. Everyone have a safe holiday and may all your college football teams win today and over the next week too! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
