Disconnected
Sorry for my disappearing act. Not only did I become a father, but we moved as well, as many of you are aware. The new house has no internet connection yet. Why you ask? It is a combination of Telekom BS and Mercury being in retrograde.

Time Out
I am sorry I have not been around these past few weeks. I have had some life altering experiences make place. Quick update:
1. The new house is finished and the solar panels are working! I waited a long time to say that. Damn it feels good.
2. I became a father two weeks ago. I can't even describe the feeling. Only a parent knows what it is like. People have said those words to me before and I didn't understand. Now I do. For those of you out there that don't have kids, I want you to understand that I am unable to put into words what it is like to become a parent. Wow. That's as close as I can get to describing it.
Look for me to back up and running in a week or so. While I'm away, you can still make a difference and fight the good fight. The world needs clean energy and people to stand up and demand that we use it.
This is also a good time for you guys to check out some past posts. There is some gold out there. Enjoy and see you soon!

Rand Paul and the 10.5 Hour Yawn-Fest
So, I heard Rand Paul talked for over 10.5 hours about something or other on the Senate Floor the other day. Yaaaaaaawwwwwnnnnn. I don't remember what he was talking about because in that time I took three naps, cleaned up some spit up, changed six diapers, walked the dogs, visited the In Laws, walked the dogs again, ate three meals, read 50 pages of "Green Mars" by Kim Stanley Robinson, put together a couple Ikea beds, cleaned up more spit up and cursed the internet gods for not sending Telecom to hook up my internet. 10.5 hours? Rand Paul, you ignorant slut...
Look, if you want to make a point, then do it. Don't put everyone to sleep trying to make yourself look important. People lose interest after five minutes anyway, so the other 625 minutes of Paul's rant were lost. And people wonder why our government is inefficient.
Clear and concise. To the point. No filler, just all key ingredients. Thats how all speeches should be. Don't believe me? The Gettysburg Address was one of the most famous speeches ever given in US History. It was four minutes long and President Abraham Lincoln wrote on the train from Washington, DC. It brought people to tears. It is chiseled into the wall of the Lincoln Memorial. It changed a nation. Everyone remembers that speech.
Do you really think Paul's speech will be remembered that way?
