Now I don’t want anybody getting too giddy, but rumour has it that Mr. Obama is going to be around and about this neck of the woods at some point today.

Not that I have any intention of bracing the elements to take a peek – it’s been a touch nippy these past couple of days and my big coat has gone missing.

Anyway, he’s going to be visiting some place that fabricates wind turbines in Bedford Heights, which only has a population of around 11,000 and is just down the road.

Apparently it’s all in relation to Obama’s economic stimulus plan and companies involved with new energy sources such as those in tiny towns building wind turbines.

Or, government grants for going green.

Personally, I think it’s a rather good message to be sent and a good way of sending it
