Earth Day...a little less green than hoped for!

Well, today is Earth Day. A day to be Green...well, I'm green any day I go to work, my uniform is green! *groan* :D

But honestly, I drive a work van. With a gas-guzzling V-8. I drove all over the place today.

I worked with refrigerants which, as little as "de minimus" is, work their way into the atmosphere.

Man, even my farts probably did something to the Ozone...

So, enough of Ozone-demolition day.

I took 2 out of 3 national-standardized HVAC tests today. Our school got on board a beta-program dedicated to standardizing the curriculum in the HVAC trade schools across the country. These test will allow the schools to get an idea of what they need to improve in and what they are doing fine with. Plus these tests are developed through the ESCO Institute so if the individual student does well on the tests, they will become certified by ESCO in the areas they pass. Kind of a win-win, as I see it! Our department head selected 20 students to take the tests and am very glad to be in the group. We'll see how the test results turn out in a couple weeks.


On a side note, my last post has a rather inaccurate number hanging around. I had mentioned that I was guessing at 400 people at the ceremony. I was off...just a little. There were over 900 people there! And those were just the ones who could make it! There were letters from people who are in Africa doing missions, there were emails from around the country. It seems hard to fathom someone so quiet and gentle could have such a long list of friends...

Enjoy Kevin performing James Taylor's 'Carolina'. I think that this video is from the last time "A Great Bunch of Guys" performed at the Union in downtown Kalamazoo.

And with that, I wish everyone "Good Night"!
