"First One On Your Block"

[Guy P. Murdock]

Remember back a time...,that new fangled item came along.Who was it,first to have the thing.'fore long ,forgotten.Simply burried 'neath the fact that everybody's got "it" now. Seems to me today,that all of that pomp is gone.With the dayly introductions of new gadgetry,how might one keep up with it?I don't know what half

of the items in the new "SHACK" flyer are.But then...,I still don't have a cell phone.Somethin' inherently wrong with the things,they should not have this grip on our young people.I can't believe that they have become so important to society....,I'm sorry...,I've gotten off rail. The point that I was leading to is the fact that........,NOW ! Now it's time to be the first one on your block.Be the first to install a small Solar array to help alleviate the monthly payments.

Then, at the next neighbor gathering you get to tell 'em how much you've saved and after a few more panels,you'll be turnin' your meter back.Do you know what happens next?Band wagon starts rollin'....,and that's what needs to happen right now.Kick this down and out economy right in the ass...,get 'er goin' again.We've been taught over and over...,noone is helping us. Don't wait for the starting gun.Noone is going to tell you ......,we've got to get ourselves goin'....,if not...,we are going to be owned.BE THE FIRST ONE ON YOUR BLOCK! Be one of those that starts this revolution.It's gonna take a lot of us...,it's going to happen.It's creeping up on us every a day.This site is a part of it.Not just a trend. It's the way we'll have to live.Call it "Life with a conscience".Why? Because you'll have to be much more aware of your energy usage, etc.You've never been more aware of clouds and breezes.You'll see.The time is here.Information abounds.All you need do is search.So much to learn.Too much to learn.Reminds me of a

web site I signed onto.They send me a monthly tip that both,helps my green lifestyle and saves some money.It's free and they don't bombard you with "stuff".It's at http://www.turnbackyourmeter.com/?f=1936 .You'll find their tips very useful.I find the once a month tip to be easy to digest and incorporate.A little easier than trying to read everything that your eyes land on.By utilizing some of these ideas..., your going to find...,once again...,

it's kind of nastalgic....,you are the FIRST ONE ON YOUR BLOCK....,to do "it".Before we know it....,the glint of solar panels and the humm of a wind turbine will be like the touch-tone phone...,EVERYWHERE!
