In fact, it seems to provide more energy during winter, when it’s needed most. Imagine that: a fact-based approach to evaluating energy resources. What a novel idea.

skullcrusher mountain
I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you
But I get the feeling that you donít like it

US GOVT: Yes, except when the CIA wants to do it.
US PEOPLE: Nooooo!
ORWELL: Oh, fer crissakes.

I’m undecided. Do I like this enough to add it to the sidebar?
Basically, it’s a Google map of where we are, and you can add yourself to it. What do you think?
