Problem, solution, problem, solution, problem.
Finite fuel sources, one solution, hybrid cars use partial electric power to increase fuel mileage. As fuel prices soared last year, the push was on to further enhance the performance of hybrid cars, the solution is the plug-in hybrid. These vehicles use an additional lithium type battery and...

Death at the Monster Truck show
Twice this year, Monster Truck events have been visited by the specter of death. I know a lot of people are upset about this, as well they should be, that is not the kind of thing you think about when you plunk down the $5 for a kids seat. You expect that kid to walk out after its all over by your...

Do I have to write something?
I don’t feel like it. I don’t have anything to say. Ok, so I have lots to say, who wants to listen, or read as it were? Everyone, that’s who! After all, I have my own little blog here and that just about makes me an expert on anything I want to be an expert on. I could whine and cry that the country...

Martin Luther King Day.
I was pondering today what would be the best way to celebrate this mans’ life. I thought about a future scenario: “Mom, we studied Martin Luther King in school today, what was racism like?” The mother would furrow her brow, then answer “It’s been so long ago that I don’t really remember.” How long,...

My strange job.
My strange job. I test wood stoves. No, not the safety test, the emissions test. Most people, even those shopping for wood stoves aren’t aware there is even an emissions standard for wood stoves. I cannot begin to explain just exactly what it is we do and most people I try to explain it to end up...

Where the elite meet to eat
Sarah Palin complained about the “elite media” in true Republican form. Before I delve into just exactly what that “elite media” is, let me speculate, that will endear you to that group much the same way zoo patrons love to have monkeys throw poop at them. This is not to take cheap shots at Palin,...

About Nostradamus, the Myans and the end of days
December, 2012 something big will happen, according to these ancient prophets. How big? If they have it right, only the end of civilization. You will hear more and more about it as the time draws near. I suspect every network will have their version of “The Armageddon Watch News Team” or something...

I’m tired
The battle with winter has left me fatigued. Too much shoveling has worn me out. Last night I was so tired and fearful my roof might cave in I wasn’t up to writing anything, except a check to pay for plowing my driveway, an exercise I had to repeat this evening. Yes, when you see in the national...

An old friend died.
I attended his memorial service today and was struck by the contrast of a memorial so close to the holiday season. He passed away December 23rd at his home. He was 5 years younger than I am. His brother is a cancer survivor and a lot of our friends and family seemed to have aged over the years....
