Well, a regional politician, a Mr. Terry Kilgore, said he disagreed with the area daily paper and said that the proposed coal plant in Wise County,VA would be safe for his family and bring economic prosperity. Yeah, right. He sounded like someone who has not investigated the fact that this new plant would be putting out so many tons of mercury over time and the remaining toxic ash from the plant could be put in a nearby pit that could seep into the ground water. Maybe Dominion Power helped pay for his re-election.
Now I am trying to study up for the GRE -- graduate record exam. At 50+, my knowledge of Algebra is basically nil (good thing middle son Adam is home to help me understand some of the study guide the co. sent me, in the form of a CD you install on your computer). And practice writing the essays -- even WITH my writing background, it will take the whole time for this slow typist to get everything down. I probably should practice typing more, but I think that I would do MUCH better if I could write my thoughts down on paper, instead of the computer. Yes, I think if I had attended grad school back in the seventies this may have been less complicated, though I know a lot more on how to write than I did back then. The GRE will not be easy, in my opinion. I will earn any good grade, I am sure.
