Energy audits and crazy old men

Diane did a Vectren home energy audit earlier today (Joe Allen would be proud of her...) and of course the results came up with ways that we could save on energy costs. What I was particulary interested in was whether or not they suggested solar and or wind power as an alternative. And maybe threw in some kind of sweetner for us to pursue it. No was the answer from Diane. But in bringing up wind power, that brought to mind windmills and Don Quixote and Sancho Panza and of course the fair maiden, Dolcinea. Remember? I would bet that the big song of the musical, The Impossible Dream, is racing around in her head right now - in fact, I'm surprised she's not singing it. Maybe later after it's driven her bonkers for a couple of hours.

Have always liked Don Quixote, that crazy old man who wandered around and tried to convince other people of his rather unusual vision of the world. Diane and Eric and maybe Danielle loved the musical.
