Solar Roadways What?

I don't know if you've seen this video before, or if you've heard about the plans for Solar Roadways, but...!!!!!!!!  In a word this is amazing.  Can you imagine the kind of change this would have on our country?  This would honestly change life as we know it.  So let's make it happen!
I thought I could do my part and share the video, the fundraising campaign closes on the 31st of May.  Donate if you'd like, but the project has already exceeded it's $1,000,000 goal!!!  Are you excited?  I'm excited.  Who knows, maybe in the not so distant future my road will be telling me to roll up my windows because a skunk just crossed the highway...now THAT would be handy.

Does Caring For A Plant Teach You Anything?

A couple weeks ago I had a birthday, and my lovely parents sent me flowers.  I couldn't believe the difference having real flowers made in the feel and the SMELL of my apartment!  I got to see them bloom, and then unfortunately die.  I've now developed a desperate need to have something green in my home.  However, I don't want another bouquet.  I want a living, breathing(?) plant.  One that won't die on me.

Now, in the next couple of years I would very much like to get a dog; so while pondering over a houseplant, I was considering whether such a venture would prepare me for dog ownership.  I've heard it said that keeping a plant is like a first step on the ladder of caring for other creatures.  Do you agree with that?  Do you think that if you fail to keep a plant alive, that that says something about your ability to care for an animal or possibly another human being?  I'm not sure how I feel about that.  What do you think?

Do You Ever Go Out Alone?

Happy Hump Day!!  So every Wednesday here on RENder Me I'll be posing a question.  It could really be about anything, but will generally be something that I've been thinking about lately.

This week, I want to know if you every go out alone.  As quite a true introvert, I like to do many things alone, it's how I recharge.  And lately, I have gone out more and more on my own.  Is this something you feel comfortable with?  Are there activities you like to do alone?  Would you go to a movie alone?  Out to eat?  Is there anything you wouldn't feel comfortable going to alone?

I'm really interested, so let me know in the comments below, or on social media with #outalone.  Also, check out that video by Andrea Dorfman, it's brilliant.
