More pic fun
(Mike already posted some of this on HIS blog, so here's what I added.)
Mike is feeling better, and got his homework done, so we finally got around to working on his blog together! Last Wednesday we went to watch the construction taking place, where they are putting in a new coal-burning plant (supposed to be a modern, non-polluting one) to augment what the city already has, and maybe help make them some badly needed revenue.
What I thought was really interesting about the construction was first, that they are taking I beams longer than telephone poles and basically banging them straight down into the ground until only a few feet stick out. Second, that there seems to be some sort of precussive cap involved with the banger. See my pic:
I am planning for us to stop by the site each week on library day, to check the progress, because I would like Mike to get interested in writing for his blog on a regular basis.
Also, I put another tiny photo page up, again from 2004, about our local windfarm.
Windy!
