What interests me most is the comments after the story, but first…
The committee has plans to offer a $7,500 tax credit for light-duty plug-in electric vehicles that feature a 6 kWh or larger battery for propulsion.

So I went out tonight for my last smoke of the night.  I always flash the porch light before I go outside… you know, to discourage all the snakes and antelope squirrels from eating me … or maybe to alert a would-be mugger that the door’s now open, his patience has paid off […]

I already posted this at PVP, but wanted to cross post it here.  Hire a Hero wants to collect one million thank yous before Veterans Day.  Just go do it!
While we’re on the topic - thank you seems to be somewhat feeble, but still… thanks Rox and Mike… two of the greatest people […]

At any rate, I am the world’s worst passenger, and […]

It turns out that perhaps the weather forecasters here in Nevada went to school with the kids in So Cal… all graduating at the bottom of their class.  When I got up yesterday morning there were some interesting clouds in the sky to the east.  Red sky at night, sailor’s delight, red sky in the […]

I just posted this over at PVPosse, but didn’t share my thoughts there.  Since I’m only talking to myself over here, I can spout as much as I’d like.
I updated Poway Valley Collision’s website today, and added a “green” page.  I am very very impressed by how much work goes in to their […]

After 6 weeks of pondering starting a blog, and 4 dozen topics that have floated through my brain… “if I had a blog, I could write about that”, I find that I’m literally speechless at the thought of actually typing something out.  Don’t want to start out too serious, do I?
