FRENCH FRY

hold the ketchup

I’m fascinated by the prospect of using veggie oil as an alternative fuel for powering cars & heating homes.  I’m not ready to jump to the change; however, I do have some fundamental questions.  Are fast food joints going to start get paid for their waste oil? Will traffic jams smell like french fries? What about the pesticides used on the crops from which the oil was processed?  The name of this next Call probably doesn’t indicate the heating source, but we can always hope, right?  Always investigate…

Check out this Ongoing Call from Old Furnace Artist Residency (Virginia) for Summer & Fall Residency opportunities.  No cost application or residency.  You just have to get yourself to Virginia.  Take a look…
