Early Renewable Energy — A Gift from a Bygone Era

I know I’m not the only one who envies the generations that lived in a more innocent time. Sure, we appreciate the gifts that technology has brought us – both in terms of enhancing our lives – and in extending it. But who doesn’t long for the days of single wage-earning families, and a purer, more honest and authentic, less plastic way of life?

I bring this up only to show you this. A reader, obvious as hungry for those days as I, sent me this, a painting that was made into a postcard in the middle of the American Civil War, 1862 to be exact, which he sent to me with subject line, Early Renewable Energy. Ahhh, thank you my friend.
