So Dan approached me yesterday and asked if I would be opposed to having him install solar panels on our roof and/or a windmill for extra energy. I think my response was something similar to "you can't be serious, right?" Who, in the middle of a suburbia puts those kinds of things on their house? I'll tell you who. People who think the end is near. Well, that would be the perception of our neighbors anyway.
Dan, of course, is just looking for another cost cutting measure. You know his mantra "take care of the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves." I would like to thank his father for such words of wisdom.
So, although I am ever striving to be the supportive wife, I really don't want to be the laughing stock of the street.
Maybe I will get a menagerie of cats. I've always wanted to be the crazy cat lady.

LOVE YA,

Okay so this is the final confirmation and you, Dan, and the girls need to move to Boulder. Dan's solar panels would fit right in here. We are the shame of our block because we are one of the only ones without solar panels. And it is not because we haven't looked into it--we simply have no Southern Exposure on our roof that isn't blocked by big trees.
Dan might balk at the housing prices in Boulder however.
