Weekend Edition/Welcome to our newest guest blogger--Patrick Beck

Watching a blog grow in audience and stature is very rewarding.  Renewable Now did 830 views in its first month, May, and is on target to be seen 3000 times this month.  Our show is setting a record weekly for viewers, and has views in these countries (these stats are coming right off the data collection systems of the companies hosting our blog and show, Google (Blogger) and Bright Cove):

United States 178 United Kingdom 14 Myanmar [Burma] 5 India 4 Germany 3 Canada 2 Malaysia 2 Netherlands 2 Romania 2 Australia 1

We'll keep updating as we go forward.  Exciting times.

Also, welcome to Patrick Beck of http://www.rifarmsandfood.com/ as our newest guest blogger, and future guest on the show.  Take a look at the site which is described there as " RI Farms & Food celebrates our state on a plate. Our monthly on-line community of farmers, harvesters, chefs and mindful eaters are driven by a passionate commitment to local, sustainable, affordable food. We care deeply about connecting our readers with great farm produce, humanely raised meats and fresh-caught fish from healthy nearby waters. We respect the land where we live, the animals we eat and the social fabric of the hard-working farm families and fishermen that bring the food to us."


Here's a bit from this week's blog: 


" You’re probably not surprised to hear that truly great bacon is often described as the Magic Johnson of food. Like the charismatic leader of the great mid-80′s Los Angeles Lakers teams, bacon stands alone as a superstar with the ability to bring out the best in surrounding players.  A fearsome scoring threat with incredible vision and ball handling skills, Magic would dazzle the opponent while getting quality chances for the talented cast around him.  He could draw defenders and then find the open man for an uncontested basket."

Thank you, Patrick.  Welcome.  We look forward to running your material monthly.
