Default A reporter from the local paper just called...

I was just getting ready to sit down to dinner, and the telephone rang. Thinking is might be GFS calling home (HEY! Call your Mother!), I got up to answer it.

To my surprise, it was NOT GFS (HEY! Call your Mother!). Instead, it was a reporter from the local newspaper. The reporter introduced himself, and said that Representative Dugan (our local State Representative) just issued a press release saying that a $270,000.00 grant had just been approved for my new Renewable Energy Technology training program (being developed at a nearby Community College). The purpose of the grant is soley for purchasing real-world renewable energy hardware to give the students real hands-on experience in their "lab exercises."

Holy Crap!!! I'm Excited!!!

I already have the lab stations designed...no rinky-dink, tinker-toy, table-top, training toys for MY program!

WOOHOO-O-O-O-O-O-O!!!
