It’s been an interesting summer and I’ll briefly touch on a few subjects and see if you notice a theme. The above photo shows the south of Bristol from the top of the proposed windmill in Barrington. The highlighted areas show a recent land purchase by the town and now off the market.
Last week the town of Barrington reviewed five bids to discuss which company can make your heart aflutter (and make up for any of your consumption guilt) by stealing our tax dollars for a good cause. A quick review of the 2.5M offers to generate a maximum 190K savings per year shows one company skimming 20K off the top every year and another will build it for “free” if the company buys any power generated back at 10x the going rate. Buyer Beware. This renewable energy market is where you will currently find the former oil speculators finding out how easy it is get laws passed and keep the money coming. Usually forever.
I took on my first interior modeling job and the results were pretty good. The overhead views went over well and entry view, kitchen and great room.
On the collectible hunt I have been pretty quiet. Picked up a limited Hentchmen 7" with trading cards, Les Savy Fav PD and a couple Southern Lord vinyls but missed out on the Sub Pop Singles Club V3. Also put my Elephant 6 collection up for purchase and continue to pull out items for a Fall sale.
Softball news. Bristol team finished with the #2 seed and have been playing better. Barrington over-30 finished with #1 seed but lost first round of playoffs and now have to win 5 games. Wooden bats have been fun and the over-40 league is slowly moving along. Played a few tournaments and feeling good while having fun. This weekend is a large 43-team tourney with teams from all over New England and we start with Team Electrolux from Maine.
