Updated Turf King Hamilton Website

Been working the last little while to update our website (www.hamilton.turfking.ca) Working with a local web designer, John to make things better.

I can do a few changes myself. That is interesting and fun- although, at times I have to be careful as I don't know a whole lot at this stage.New features include a search capability. And, we can send newsletters to customers and so on. working on that. Also a blogging section. Right now transferring blogs from my Turf King Blog.

When I thought about how do I get a picture of the new site. Then I learned about he PrtSc (print screen) key on the keyboard. Press that and an image of your screen is saved in the "clipboard." Paste the image into a graphics program and voila you have an image of the screen. DIdn't know that before- I mean I had forgotten how to use that.

Christmas Lights

I see a lot of Christmas decorations and lights. It seems to be getting to be more and more each year. I do remember the oil crisis back in the early 70's. At that time, everyone (or at least a lot of people) stopped using Christmas lights as their way of contributing to easing the oil shortage and the energy crisis.
Now, it seems to be business as usual. I know that the new LED lights are supposed to use only about a quarter of the energy of the regular lights.
As I was driving home last night, I'm thinking, "When are they going to come up with solar Christmas lights?"
Did a Google search today, and sure enough, they've been working on them, and I see that they are now starting to be available.
