Converting anyone to any form of belief can be a confusing process as I found out when I wanted to burn some branches from a dead conifer tree. My memory from my Boy Scout days totally let me down because I thought that green or not it was bound to burn. Eventually I had to resort to methods that I’m ashamed to mention on this forum. The only saving grace was my wife who told me that as the wind was blowing in from the field at the back of where we live it would be anti-social to light a fire that would produce smoke and so I waited but now the wood is all gone.
Now for an explanation of my wife’s thinking process which must have been provoked into movement by my potentially ant-social behaviour. As is normal on her part when she attempts to provoke, encourage or force me into movement in our garden her technique is to ask a question. My response is always the C.M. Joad one which is to reply, “It depends what you mean by ????”
Her question was, “As we always get wind from the direction at the back of where we live could we, should we not set up a wind power generator?” My response in such matters is to use terms such as, “Cost Benefit Analysis” However, I fear that I will have to do some research into the matter and so my question to the forum must be, “where do I start, is there a book or magazine that ordinary people can understand or does the cost benefit analysis suggestion get me off the hook?
