1. Holy Atomic Tourism, Batman! ... actually, I'd quite like to check that out, when I return to one of my fav spots in the entire US of A.
2. Photovoltaics market in California
3. Ethanol's rise: feeding bellies or feeding engines? Personally, I think so long as trade barriers are keeping Brazilian sugar out, and dentists are busy with corn-syrup-rotted teeth in the nation's childrens' mouths...it's really something of a false dichotomy. Indeed, a potentially valuable knock-on effect of expensive animal feed is to force more rational waste reprocessing methods and animal feed solutions.

Otherwise lovely morning of excessive food, last minute Masai Market shopping, including sampling some fantastic local food from a stall all the merchants bought from 'round back (was a heaping plate of local rice, a greens-and-potato mash, slightly sour cabbage, meaty bits with potato in a broth, and homemade pili-pili for heat...hearty and tasty! Just 50 bob, with another 10 bob for a slice of avocado another purveyor was selling separately). Many of the merchants we had just bought from were amused and delighted to see a Mzungu in lunch line with them.
Ran across, and will meet again, friends of the family whose eldest son, George, is going to Mansfield College - reading law. Nice guy, he's living out next year (I think he's a Fresher), and was looking at Jericho. I'll be sure to direct him towards Bookbinders and Peppers. I'll see if OUCC or OUSFG hold any interest too. :-) I'm such a recruiter. ;-)
