Howdy from the Vibes day 2.. It’s hotter than Hades here.. and goign to be hotter tomorrow. There’s actually a high heat advisory for this location.. it’ll be 97 tomorrow and 70 percent humid.. they say it will feel like it will be 110

 

All said though.. it wasn’t too bad today.. I spent the day trying not to move.. pretty successfully I might add. I woke up around 8 to bright sunshine.. despite the heat I had to cover up for the light and bugs.. here I am

here’s max.. he managed to sleep till 9:30

 

I went for a longish run before it got too hot.. I eneded up getting out to a lighthouse at the point nearby.

First order of business was to get the wind generator up.. Gary and paul lead the installation,. it was like our own iwo jima

All day long we did simple slolar demos.. we had a solar founain. a solar cell phone charging station.. we even made our burritos in a solar oven.. lots of folks dropped by to check it out..  We’re even on the agenda !

 

 

midday, Max and I braved te ehat and checked out the vendors.. nice stuff..

 

the only airconditioned plance is funded by the tobaccoc association.. it’s only for smokers.. It’s in the low 60’s in there .. and full of green plants. how funny is that ?

 

the best thing about festivals like this is the people watching.. I talked to so many folks today.. i love hearing theur stories.

 

there are also a bunch of non profits (like us) here.. Just down the street is Seva (http://seva.org) a wonderful org started by ram dass and wavy gravy. They give gifts of  gifts of health and training in the emerging world. . Several of the past christmas’s our ‘gift’ to sam was a donation to Seva.. Once we made a donation to support midwife training, another time it was for eye clinics..   Please check out seva

Right next store is Donate Life. an org we know and love.. that promotes organ donation.. I told them both about Sam and gave both t a samstone..

 

down the street from them is Ben and Sarah’s biobus.. doing life sceince demos.. tall day.. tehy had soem microscopes set up looking at creaures they pulled from the sound.. it was so cool !

Max and I helped ben tilt his solar panels on the bobus.. it was a great place to watch the coming sunset..

OK.. music’s starting.. ogtta shut down now.. More later  it’d goign to be a long and wilde night

-nite all, nite sam
