scottobearStill awake... couldn't sleep...restless. So I've tried a hot bath. After I dry more, I'll hit the sack again.
Something weird about feeling the bathtub drain, and having gravity return to full.
It's very comforting to have Newt follow me from bedroom to bath, with nary a complaint. He hangs out while I talk to him about the day's events, or make up little stories for him, as he bats at my fingertips or mouth.
Brown is Green. A dung-fueled power station in the UK has won an environmental award from the Euro Solar educational charity. The £7M plant produces power for the national grid, and is capable of generating 1.4 megawatts of power at full tilt. Located in Devon, it runs on approximately 1.6 million tons of waste produced by local farmers. Apparently, this trend is pretty big in Germany and Denmark: both countries already have about 20 large-scale poo-poo-powered plants.
The First Viennese Vegetable Orchestra uses vegetable-based instruments to perform classical compositions (listen). Where necessary, additional kitchen utensils such as knives or mixers are employed.
Ok. Dry now. Night night.
