Something I find slightly comical is how so many people will say that it isn’t worth it to add

solar energy to your home because it takes too long for the system to “pay itself off”. If you

save up the money and have a system installed you suddenly have a tiny utility bill, if any

bill at all. To me it’s a simple cash-flow equation.

Funny thing you should mention turning rain into energy, I have done just that. It was not hard to invent the machine, what is hard is to start producing these machines so that everyone can benifit from them.

Hi Mr. Hill,
I’m glad to hear you had a good time on your trip. I had a few questions about the dam that creates electricity; how much would it cost to put one somewhere in the United States? Where would you want to place it? I think it should be somewhere along a major river. The only problem with that is that fish would have trouble swimming upstream. They would all be trapped downstream, wouldn’t they?

Hi Mr. Hill and his wife. I just found the paper you had given to us about the blog near the end of the year and thought I would say hi. So, HI from the U.S. I hope you two are having a great trip, it sounds like you are! Espically with all of that awesome french food. Where are you now? When you get a chance, blog about all of the yummy european food. Even though it will taunt me, I still want to imagine myself pigging out in a nice french cafe or something. I plan to go to France, Italy, Spain, and Greece when I get older so I just want to know how the food is in Paris!!! Well, I have to go so I hope you guys have an awesome rest of your trip, and a safe ride home. And Mr. Hill, I will be sure to visit you and all of my other awesome teachers over the course of this school year!!!!!! ~Victoria~

What, we don’t get updates from your belated honeymoon? Bah humbug.

Hope you two have a fabulous time in Paree. Lucy has entirely forgotten that you exist (although she did appreciate the postcard!) and has decided to live with us forever. Skylar, however, may be moving out.

See you next week!

It’s been so cool following your progress the last few weeks! Even without photos we still have gotten a vivid picture of many parts of your trip–very nice writing, even on a French keyboard. Who knew there was such a thing.

So now you’re going dark, as it were. We’ll miss this neat little connection we’ve had with you both, but now it’s your time, so enjoy Paris, we can’t wait to see you in Maine in a few weeks!
