Kittens

I was home sick last week with what the University recognized as a "flu-like illness". When I returned to my home to Springfield, my parents surprised me with two new kittens! It is amazing how much you can learn from such tiny creatures. For example, they have never been outside before. I opened the door to let them sniff the air, and they were petrified! It reminds me of those who are afraid of the necessary changes in our energy production--too frightened to step into new territory, despite all of the incredible opportunities it may hold.
