Monday Links and a Photo – Green Energy

That’s the old Ottawa Power Station, soon-to-be Accident Fund Building in downtown Lansing, along the Grand River.  I swear this was on purpose and not an auto-focus screw up.

Links to last week’s posts (and more), after the break.

You see, the out of focus power plant symbolizes…power…uh…in the background.  Yeah.  The background–of our LIVES.  It runs everything.  Espresso machines, microwaves…LASER TAG.  All of it.  But, we can’t forget about the trees.  And if we aren’t careful, they could rise up.  Just like in that Rush song.
