Ethanol Fuel

No matter what the nay sayers say. Ethanol is probably the most realistic alternative fuel available today. I live in Brazil at the moment. I have a flex fuel car and it runs very well on ethanol made from sugarcane. I can also fill up on Gasoline if I want to pay twice the price. It is also a very efficient little car (that could fit in the bed of a large full size made in the USA pickup). Regardless, it is a great vehicle for city driving, yet, for freeway driving I would prefer a bigger car.

The US needs to go with what is realistic, not some futuristic hydrogen fuel car. There are factories around the world that already produce the flex fuel engines in various sizes. Incidentally there are many taxi drivers in Brazil that run Tri-fuel cars that run on Ethanol, Gasoline or Natural Gas. So technology exists for all kinds of fuel possibilities at the same time in the same vehicle.

More non sense

Google, you keep me busy with so many things. First it was Google Earth, which i use almost every day. Now its the sky feature in Google. Once upon a time I wanted a telescope, but now I just go to my iMac and Google to see the stars. Soon we will all be wearing optical headsets and wireless computers to sit around indulging our information cravings.

Maybe its a conspiracy by some foreign power to take over America. Get everyone so occupied with their video games and internet "sex" that we will be inoculated against any form of self protection. America and all her wealth will be there for the taking.

Sounds like something straight out of a Star Trek episode I saw once.

Well

All's well that ends well. Today there was a great deal of commotion with an armed robbery by a bandits.  He and a partner were on a motor bike watching at an electronic bank teller for potential victims.  They followed them at a distance until the victims were out of the crowds and used a gun to get the money.  This happened so fast that not even the video cameras caught much more that the stolen license plate of the bike.  Thankfully no one was shot.  Of course the police came too late to help.

Welcome to the Beginning

In the Beginning there has to be someone to create it or there is nothing at all. No site will just spontaneously appear out of nothing.  Sure,  all the underlying tech that could make a blog exists, but without a brain, there is not a thing that happens.  And so, this is how it will be if I can make some time you may actually have something to read and see.
