The one that really gets to me is the argument from the left about
Keystone.

Typical knee jerk reaction from that corner of he world, however
interestingly enough, our upcoming abundance of fossil fuels may
coincide with the plummeting cost of solar power. China would love
to reduce their dependence on coal for a number of good reasons, and
as a result, they are pouring huge amounts of money into solar R & D.
This is beginning to pay off and prices have already dropped enough
that home solar is just about at the price point where it makes sense
in places like Florida. I'm going to look into installing a small to
mid scale prototype when we get home.

What do you think my chances are of installing a few panels on the
roof without going through the whole permitting process? If my kids
were younger I could claim it was a science fair project.

It might be financially sound to adopt a 10 year-old.

Probably not if past experience with college expenses is any guide.

Surely you haven't forgotten about the military. I used to work with a guy whose teenage son
was not college material and didn't have the drive or ambition to do much at all. He claimed
victory when he got the youth enlisted in the Airforce before he graduated from high schoo.

Heh. I offered both of my sons a free Corvette (or equivalent cash)
if they graduated from one of the military academies. No takers but
they're both doing very well so no regrets on my part.

We offered to buy our daughters cars, not new cars, if they attended the local 2 year college
before they went to UMD. The blew us off.
