Ha.. I know what you mean, dumpster diving is a fairly normal activity for me. I've also had my fare share of law officers become VERY upset when they find me rummaging thru discards but find out from dispatch they can do nothing to stop me as I obey private property, no diving and the like signs. Sure is fun to pop your head out and startle the dickens out of em though! I've been known to tell people all my good stuff come out of the trash... LOL. Amazing the scale of sensless wastfullness in the world isn't it...

When people pass you holding up the one finger simply because you saw a new windmill and slammed on your brakes to get a better look.. (yes I admit it)


When you get calls from numerous people who you dont know because they had questions about wind energy (insert solar etc) and everyone told them you might be able to help. (ok i admit on this one too)

When you are in the mall parking lot with 5 tiny windmills because it is the closest place with good wind... and you don't care what all the Christmas shoppers think.

Just as expected. Not great.

Almost close to be good enough to rate nearly just a little barely short of functional. Hehe.
