Helping our children live long lives

[<span class=powerplant.jpg]" border="0">
I was very happy to move to Salem, great town by the water, young people migrating here in droves. The city of Salem has a lot going for it, even though some residents want to shut down live music but that is an other rant.
The one thing that really make me uncomfortable is our coal burning power plant. Coal is just bad for our health. It's in the air we breath, we are much more at risk for cancer living here (a 30 mile radius). The big thing about the plant it was planned to be shut down in 1982. It was only to be in service for 30 years, now 27 years later the plant is still burning. A couple of years ago 3 people lost their live in an explosion. Our Mayor has asked Gov. Devail Patrick to make Salem exempt from the new environmental standards because the plant is so old. The good thing about the plant is we get 4 million in taxes from the plant which helps out Salem, especially with the current economical crisis. It also employs 147 people.
So the hand which feeds also takes. Is money a fair trade for our health.
We are in a new age of energy.
The question now is what if.

Training

I just got back from a really nice 75 miler, wonderful rolling hills on a beautiful day.I found it is a lot harder to ride by yourself than with a group. What I like about it is training by myself I fell I will become a stronger rider. I hope so. Master Pnut is with mommy today. Peace j

Dont Cry

A Hard One To Watch

CFO PBM Enterprise

It has been six months since I have become the CFO of PBM enterprise. It has been a very satisfying career switch indeed. We manufacture smiles and hugs here which we then distribute freely. The job has some over time which I am the first to ask for and our VPMP is also willing to get her hands dirty too. I feel we make a good team and I am very happy to have meet up with her. Now our CEO is a very busy man. Adheres to his schedule like a Swiss clock and does not mince words. He will tell you if he likes something or not and not afraid to use his voice either. He is laid back at times but in the office he is strictly business. On the flower phone or on his lady bug he stays till the job is done, make it happen he will often say, he is an insiration to me and makes me better myself on a daily baisis. I wish there where more people like him but who knows there might be.Thanks for stopping in. If you would like to learn more about Smile and Hugs there will be a Smile and Hugs conference coming to your area soon. J

I make Preston sleep in the morning, some time he cries sometime not, sleeps on the walk or just on the floor.
