Last Friday we attended our friend Keltie's science fair here in Cranbrook. She did an experiment where she sunk a 120 feet of black plastic reinforced pipe 6 feet into the ground and pushed air through it on order to send the warm ground air up to the surface. They found that if they fed this pipe into a furnace or heat pump, the air would go in at about 2 degrees Celsius and then the heating system would only have to heat the air in the house another 18 degrees. At minus 20, this would be a real energy saver. I'm probably not explaining this exactly right, but the point is that she won best project in the show. There were at least 80 other projects and she won!
Also at the fair was a very enthusiastic gentleman offering people the oppourtunity to stand on a podium and hold the Olympic torch that came through Cranbrook. Even though we have not watched more than 30 seconds of the Olympics so far, Dustin stood on the Gold podium and I stood on the bronze. I don't need to be the best!
Pretty fun day, but it didn't end there. We went to see "Shutter Island", which was just so intriguing, and thought provoking that we went to see it again on Tuesday!
