I have to say I was astonished by the activity at the plant last Saturday.

About a month ago Rachel and I revisited the organization chart and inserted us into “Production.”

Two years ago we embarked on a bold idea.  We wanted to demonstrate how we could make clean  solar electricity and grow sustainable food at the same time.

Last Friday was a big shipping day for us.  We had 18 wheelers backing up on one another.

Monday I wiled away my time at a “Grassroots Economy” conversation in Durham.  There were a lot of heavy hitters there.  Which made for “heavy” conversation.

I awoke this morning on Gabriola Island, after departing from the Collective Biodiesel Conference in Duncan, British Columbia, and I must say I am in awe.

Today was a normal day at the plant.  I looked out of the Control Room and saw some guys in suits walking through the banana trees.

This was a strange weekend for me.  I had signed up to pull at shift a Ribfest in Winston Salem, and I ended up talking to White House advisors in Durham.

I was bludgeoned at the North Carolina legislature today.  It looks like “Big Fat” is going to win this state, just like they did in Virginia.

Today we are selling our fuel for 3.75/gallon.  Which is cheaper than the street price for diesel. And today we find that to be bizarre.
