S.O. GOES GREEN


With the rising cost of gasoline paralleling social concerns for energy consumption, S.O. will once again lead the High End Texas housing development industry by contracting with a new West Texas equipment manufacturer to supply wind-up and hand-cranked leaf blowers to the landscaping crew.

"How much waste is there in a 200 mph gust when all you are really doing is moving some grass clippings or leaves?" commented a spokesperson. "We calculate that with a minimum expenditure of human power, you can actually move that debris at 17.5 mph, easily achievable by a powerful spring."

"We are working on similar technology for weed wackers, and hope to have that in beta-test by next spring."

It has been suggested that SO attempt to harness the power potential in the guard-wave-greetings. Especially as the project grows, increased traffic will boost wave-occasions and much like the technology that converts ocean tides to electricity, it's possible to foresee a day when the guard shack computers are completely supplied by wave.
