Roxie and Ray enjoying the mountain top Lt. Zebulon "discovered" 203 years ago.

But my being a AGW naysayer didn't stop me from participating in 350 day

- trying to use clean energy to get CO2 levels down to 350 parts per million

I'm in the back, using my hands to talk with my counterpart chair person of another town's energy task force. ;)

Thanks Don. I see I had a cold not the flu:

I had a nice visit to Dallas this week.

The day after I signed up to attend the geothermal heat pump convention,

I received an email from China inviting me to attend one there too!

If not photo shopt, it's a cool Texas Alamo.

At the convention hotel, an indoor Alamo, under a 400' long dome.

The boots were assembled in the warehouse that Doug's company owns.
Thanks for showing me the city Doug!

But enough about me.

Let's talk about me!

Actually, I'm pleased that when I now google "Best Emails" my computer directs it to this site.

Maybe my Chinese geothermal heat pump hosts will see their invitation here!
