It is not irritating to be where one is...

It is only irritating to think one would like to be somewhere else.

New cars...we don't need anymore.

I'd rather see the big 3, or some competitors, get into "upgrading" our cars for the future.

There are people converting cars to electric and bio diesel etc..."small scale"...why doesn't someone with resources do it large scale???

We have plenty of cars, let's just make them better.

Life Lessons learned from watching Horror Films









  1. Don't split up...that's when everything goes from bad to worse
  2. When in a creepy place (local haunted\abandoned house etc.), don't have sex...those people always go first
  3. Related to #2: it's always good to be a virgin or to bring one along...that person usually has the power to break the current curse
  4. Be able to run faster than at least one other person...in case you can't break the curse :)
  5. Go for the head: A head shot or decapitation usually stops the bad guy\zombie\creature
  6. Until you've removed the head, don't stand idly by the slain bad guy\zombie\creature...they're most likely going to cure their wounds and attack again
  7. If cornered, always lie to the bad guy\zombie\creature...when they ask "join me or die", say "OK" and then wait for an opportunity to betray them later. Don't say, "No way scum! Death to you and your legions!" as this only invites anger and certain death.
  8. ??? You got any more ???

Who Killed the Electric Car?

Have you seen this documentary yet, http://www.whokilledtheelectriccar.com?

I'm ashamed of owning a GM car after watching this -- I will not buy another.

Pictured here is an EV1 -- GM started it in 1996...and just 10 years later had successfully killed almost all traces of it. Ooo, they make me so mad!

Don't forget to VOTE!

Election 2008 is almost over, yeah!!!

If you vote and you don't like the outcome, then you have the right to complain...
If you don't vote, then you've got no reason to complain.

One more plug for the 'O' man...

Change, hope.
Hope, change.
Changey, Hopey.
Hopey, Changey.
Chope!
