Back in the 80's I gave my grandfather a solar powered hat with a fan on it that blows a wind on your head as long as the sun's out. I thought this would make his life working the farm in the hot sun more enjoyable. He never wore it beyond the mandatory initial try it on for everybody show. I always assumed it didn't really work because it was just a weird gimicky "future" thing. It worked. I guess it was too much technology for him. It still works, and now I'm wearing grandpa's hat.

Time Again ... for Sustainability
Submitted by FluxRostrum on Fri, 04/09/2010 - 11:11http://timeagainfarms.ning.com
Time Again Farms sits just 1 mile from the Appalachian Trail and 2 miles from Intestate 81. It could be a lot of things but odds are in favor of a new McMansion sub division. Or not ... saving this 200 year old farm house and 180 acre farm is the goal of Tony Sferlazza.
