So the ride home starts and another Euroland chapter is complete. This one is the start of a new major section: a transition from facility management to energy management and more specifically community microgrids.
Check out my eco-blog for a 'cultural crossroads' perspective.
I look forward to seeing the 'no smoking' sign at 30k feet upon entering California. As an ex-smoker, I abhor 2nd hand smoke. One of the most unappetizing aspects of Europe is the incessant smoking everywhere - except inside offices. Problem is everyone smokes just outside every building... there's no way to enter any building without smoking at least 1/2 a cigarette! Inside restaurants and bars they're not supposed to smoke. The saddest thing is to see the number of young kids smoking and trying to look cool. Thank you Hollywood. So my de-tox begins in a few hours. My rare, subtle headaches will be gone. And then again, maybe my brain has been on overload for a few weeks - continually balancing two languages and cultures.
I look forward to hi-altitude quality air and serenity of WinSol3.
