That's right, unless we can make it ourselves.
You mean windmills or - solar something?
Or something, he said, glancing at the stream.

Gave up smoking when my wife
Died of lung cancer four years ago.

Is placed on our path out by the road there.

Occasionally, but they don't stop long enough
For a thank you, hardly a wave.

Isn't it somehow subverting your intentions?
He blinked hard to keep his composure.
