It's not another Solar Panel post is it?!?!

Nope, my solar bill is down to $16.56 which is only the service fee and the tax on the service fee. I generated 100% plus of my own power the last month. So, in trying to stay true to this green streak in me I have decided to start purifying the air with my lungs by skating into work once a week. I'm pretty sure this exposes my lungs to polluted air far more than if I were to bike to work.


So yesterday I was doing good, skating in the dark to work and about 1/2 way there I had to jump up to a curb, caught a nasty crack on the other side and WHAM! I went sliding across the sidewalk. Besides letting out a nice UNGHH sound as my torso smacked into the sidewalk I thought it was a pretty graceful crash. Of course it had to happen amist some folks just having left a bus and folks getting there for the next bus - nothing hurts the pride like witnesses to a FAIL. So I got up and started skating off when I realized my finger was stinging.


I looked down, and saw I had a good blood flow but not at a rate that would prevent me from going the next 5 miles. I didn't have a first aid kit on me (I do now though) so I just skated through until I got to work and then patched myself up. Before I could though, my coworker Chris took a picture of my wound - enjoy!
