We started the blog writing in “we”, and have not distinguished between the two of us.  Well, now we are ready for a little more personalization.  We want the people that are coming to our site to feel like they have a connection with us.  We reached our first goal with the blog a few days ago, and for that, we thank you, the readers.  We thought that our first goal would take a few weeks, and it happened in less that two weeks. While we are being honest, that goal was 100 visits in a single day.  That happened September 8th, and we hit 129.  We have no one else to thank but you, so again…Thank You for your interest, and if you like what you see, please let us know, or give us ideas for improvements.  Let’s get into the nuts and bolts:

L.J.

I am a California native, who currently resides in North Dakota, with a background in linguistics from the United States Air Force. I started off my college career to be an architect, but quickly learned that was not the path for me. I went back to school after the 6 years in the military and got my Business Management Degree. I plan on getting an M.B.A with a concentration in marketing. I love to think idealistic when it comes to Alternative Energy. I see a future filled with cars that are not constrained by the dirty word…”oil”. Not that I am against oil, but I am against the idea that a company has designed an infrustrucutre that makes us dependent on a commodity which continues to raise in price. I do understand that people need to make a living, but at what cost? Do they get to continue to receive a profit in the billions while you and I(the average American) pays the price. They say that supply and demand drives the cost up, but they continue to pad their wallets. This is the fundamental reason I am against oil and petroleum. To top it all off, we continue to ruin the place we live because…we are unsure of which alternative energy is going to take off? This is not the VCR and BETA race ladies and gentlemen, this is a race to find a solution to help the planet we live on.
