Here's a photo of a wind turbine. Taken at the NREL labs in Boulder, Colorado when I was there in May.

Oh boy. This one I'm going to leave as short as I can, because the title of this post is what my phone just said when I reactivated my alarm for the work week. I don't have any food for breakfast, and I definitely don't have time to make myself lunch, so I'm going to stop at the grocery store on my way to work in the morning and grab a red bull and food for breakfast and lunch.

My flight was delayed almost 2 hours, because the previous flight was delayed, and then we were assigned the wrong runway or something, so we sat on the tarmac for a good 30 minutes before taking off.
