Samuel Johnson Quote of the Week from Greg Bover
“If you are idle, be not solitary. If you are solitary, be not idle.”
Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)
Dr. Johnson was the most important English literary figure of his age. He wrote plays, essays and poems including the deeply perceptive “Vanity of Human Wishes,” but he was best known for his Dictionary of the English Language (1755), an almost incomprehensible feat of solo scholarship, written in just nine years, and the first to feature examples, largely from Shakespeare, Dryden, and Milton, of 114,000 words in a literary context. Johnson was also the subject of one of the most famous biographies ever written, the minutely detailed Life of Samuel Johnson, by James Boswell. It is from this biography and other descriptions of the tics and outbursts of the good Doctor that it is now thought that he suffered from Tourette’s syndrome, a condition not yet defined in his time. Johnson is also credited with the observation that “Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels.”

GMG Alternative Energy Series- @EnergySage Website- Compare Solar Quotes With Just A Few Clicks
EnergySage Is A Game Changer. They couldn’t make learning about solar quicker, more transparent or easier to understand than this. In my quest to bring more info to you, my peeps, I went into EnergySage Headquarters and spoke with Senior Solar Advisor Kimberly Le who demonstrated just how few clicks it takes to get an instant estimate and then how after you register with a few more clicks that you can get a bunch of area solar installers (who are all vetted and approved by EnergySage) and have user ratings in their profiles (much like the way Amazon or Trip Advisor has user generated reviews) which give you an idea of how happy people are with their installations.
The part I like best is how all of the different Solar companies compete for your business, and they all load their quotes in a standardized way that EnergySage set up so that you can compare each installer’s quotes side by side. Aaaaand then to take it even a step further, EnergySage takes the equipment that each solar installer is proposing for your project and rates the solar panels in a grading system. Aaaaaand you always have access to totally impartial passionate about Solar, EnergySage Solar Advisors that can further guide you and answer any questions you may have along the way.
You know how I’m all about the No-Brainer initiatives that are wins for everyone involved. Well this is literally a NO-Risk, everything to gain, super simple, super fast way to check out Solar options for you.
Check out the first interview I did with Kimberly Le, Senior Solar Advisor for EnergySage right here and then check out the EnergySage Website and for zero cost just fill out the measly three fields to get an instant quote. You don’t even have to talk to anyone if you don’t want to.
Here’s the link to get an instant estimate- EnergySage
Once you get an instant estimate based on your address, you can register to get access to the marketplace where the different EnergySage Vetted and Approved Installers start to email you quotes and they appear in your EnergySage Marketplace Dashboard side by side where you can compare things like what each installer is proposing for a warrantee, each installer’s user generated reviews, an installation target date, what type of panels they propose to use, and more. Best part is that on every page there are little question marks that when you click on them, explain in further detail what each term means, also there’s an EnergySage Advisor that is just a mouse click away that will help you as well if you have any questions.

Can The Pats Win Another Superbowl Limping Into The Playoffs?
PSA- ATTENTION LADIES & GENTLEMEN: THERE ARE THREE WEEKS OF PLAYOFF FOOTBALL LEFT. FOR ANYONE THAT DOESN’T UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS TIME WATCHING FOOTBALL TOGETHER- PLEASE FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO OCCUPY YOUR TIME AND DON’T BREAK OUR BALLS. THANK YOU.
The beginning of the season we looked invincible. After an enormous amount of key injuries, the past two weeks of Patriots football have been painful to watch. If I’ve learned anything as a Pats fan it’s to never count ’em out but for most teams, winning a Superbowl is a culmination of a whole bunch of bounces and breaks all going your way as you roll through the playoffs. In past Superbowl wins it seems like the confidence is off the charts and everyone is smiling and you roll through the playoffs with momentum. Right now there seems to be zero momentum. Having the bye week will most certainly…
