Wii Fit

Another day, another work out or so it will be. I am getting back on the wii fit horse so to speak. At least I have worked out 30 minutes tonight plus two additional walks today.

"Green Gardening"

So today I was looking around on the internet and I have discovered the following interesting points:
  1. Used Ground Coffee is both a good fertilizer and ant deterrent
  2. Baking Powder Can be used to both reduce pests on plants, and fight fungal growth on plants.
  3. Baking powder and vinegar can be used to open up a sink like liquid draino
  4. Herbs are a natural pest deterrent.
Upon discovering this, I figured one of 20 books on "GREEN LIVING" at the bookstore would have a more complete listing of these facts. I found this to be incorrect. In all actuality, most green living books actually turned the consumer to buying different pesticides or giving the commonly known facts that are broadcast on TV a thousand times a day (ie recycle, low wattage light bulbs, etc). So I have decided to start pulling together a new book of knowledge, and I am presently calling it, "Green Living, an engineers guide to practical and cost effective reduction of your personal destruction of the enviornment".
