[Tuesday, November 13^th 2007: It is reported in the news (CNN told it very well) despite the strengthening Economy in America, the Income gap between White Families and Black Families grew.  The study showed, when the Income for the Black Man is adjusted for Inflation for the last 30 years, his Income went down. When the same is done for the White male, his went up! Despite those findings, a SMALL Percentage of the Black Population in America is doing well financially. Want to know more?

“We Don't Stop Playing Because We Get Old. We Get Old Because We Stopped Playing.” - Oliver Wendell Jones

I still play with Model Trains. If you believe it's a Midlife Crisis (O__o what ever THAT is) just throw away your College Degree. It is a hobby I NEVER got out of since Childhood. What is your #1 hobby? ^__^

A “Solar” powered Trainset…Imagine! =D

WAIT! I have yet to build it….keep reading.

Already, some Oil Tycoon reading this is about to cry poverty.

As far back as I can remember, I have ALWAYS held an interest in Solar, Wind and Hydro Power. Mostly “Solar Power” followed closely by “Wind Power”. I remember really getting interested in “Solar Power” by the time I entered 6th Grade! =D

I'm not sure when about 'Wind Power'…however.

As for landing a job in “Solar Power”, “Wind Power” or BOTH? I will just say: No one has come pounding on my door with such a job offer. And, no one is answering their door (or Email) when I come knocking.

And the Oil tycoon is going “Whew!”

So, I am just another American stuck in a Fulltime - Low Paying job. What a waste of Good & Valuable talent! A Degree/College Education is no guarantee for a better job, either. The end result of going to college and Graduate with a Degree expecting a High Paying and Secure Job (with excellent retirement benefits)  is like playing the lottery and expecting to hit the BIG Jackpot.

Sigh. Anyway…

There is a Wind Turbine here in Dorchester - A Boston Neighborhood.  I moved to Dorchester in 2001. I have lived IN Boston all of my life. The Wind Turbine was put up in 2005.

From home it can be seen on VERY Clear Days. Of course, one can just walk, drive by it or ride the subway. Including the Commuter Rail! At night, and up close the Wind Turbine is a sight to see! O__O

I always wanted to buy a house with a Basement (No. It is NOT as easy as I thought it would be! And, no I am NOT trying to be snobby or just show off…I was never a fan of Martha Stewart. Sorry).
 
There is “Excellent Sunlight” in my Basement when the sun comes up on a clear day. I never expected that when I viewed the house - at night! Who knew?? I never even asked the last owner about sunlight in the basement, either. Solar Powered trains was not on my mind at the moment.

Hopefully, when I finish the Basement (In this economy, all by myself and presantly living alone? [it was not my choice] Good luck!), the trainset will go in there. For now all of my trains just sit in the train yard & at the station waiting for Departure Orders.

Since childhood I have always wanted to open a Model Railroad Club. As recent as late 2007, I decided on a large building. The Club would be “State Of The Art” like the world has never seen.

What's more - It will be EASY to get to by Public Transit. It would be a welcome sign to many that want to save the planet (and people laughed at me when I said “I have no car”). 

Easy access IS “the Concept” of the Model Railroad Club.

As for the “American Economy” - talk about 'going nowhere, fast!' Sigh. =(

I am just a 6th Generation Black American with idea's for Solar & Wind Power. We know it's FREE and Natural Energy. I would like to meet people with similar interests in such resources. Skin Color/Race…all are welcome.

Still, I am looking for a nice lady to share in all of this with me [Before you ask, I will tell you: The last woman in my life walked out in 2004. I found no one since. Enough said]. Interests in Solar/Wind Power are a plus. No experience required. Just openess and honesty.

I live a 3 minute walk FROM The Subway! I'm no snob. I recycle. I live in a VERY Diverse and Relatively Safe Neighborhood. My nearest neighbors are Vietnamese. We get along great! They don't have to ask me to clear the sidewalk after a snow fall….I just do it. O:-)

I don't do bars. That's NOT where I go to do my Thinking, Unwinding & Brain-storming. I just simply learned to think on my feet! =D

I'm a Non smoker. Non Drinker. No drugs - except my love for trains and music! :)) I don't EVER use Profanity…I'm such a boring guy.

I look young for my age. I say “Over 21” when people ask.

Funny story: On a Doctor visit…the doctor wanted to know my age. I actually HAD to 'think about it' because I often say “Over 21”! :))
 
I LOVE Movies, Music and Trains.  Why am I not driving REAL Trains for a living? Check out my Blog “Since You Like Trains So Much…”. It's Funny, Serious AND True.

I hope to expand my Model Train layout to include “Solar Power”!  I just hope it's NOT bad luck here to reveal such plans (A long story…'A VERY Long Story'). Anyway, there have been a few ideas bouncing about my head. Join me? Lets share ideas involving 'Solar Power'. 

I have ALWAYS held an Interest in other cultures/races…and other hobbies.

“Corperate Thugs” are NOT welcome to my site.  I just work for you…just as my Ancestors did on American Plantations.

The short: If you ”really understand” American History - you know why I work two jobs. I have read too many profiles about women looking for the “…handsome, financially secure man, educated with 'A stable job'”.

Is there a woman with just the 'I will take you as you are' attitude, out here? Is there one lady that would rather wear a 'Wish Bone' on her necklace…than a Diamond Necklace?

As for a lady I am looking for…

It is said, there is someone for every one. People laughed at me saying “You will never find a Girlfriend…you still play with trains”. Well, I am getting close. And, I got the last laugh, too.

Is this an Omen? Watch this COOL video!

I would love to meet a lady like her who is into the hobby. Who knows what may happen? 

Thank you for stopping by. Drop me a message, too. I would love to hear from you! =)
