We drove back from Oakland to Clinton and arrived here about 3:00 p.m.  It rained all day, more of a drizzle at times, so travel was a little slippery going down the mountains.  My ears kept popping.  At one point near Frostburg, MD, I saw a jackknifed truck on a ramp.  Several emergency vehicles were there and the ramp was blocked off. 

We passed two vehicles going the other direction carrying one of those wings of a wind turbine.  Such huge things that cost way more than they are worth, and would take decades to produce enough energy to offset their production cost.  Plus, they are a blight on the landscape.  Perhaps someone would finally realize they are just not cost-effective.  At least we can hope.

Our final meeting this time around is Wednesday night in Pennsylvania.  Joe’s friend, who happens to be a girl, comes in Friday for a few days.
