Times are a changin'

Beetle just returned 40mpg in city use (less use of A.C. allowed this 4 mpg or so improvement).

The beetle also recently returned 50 mpg on a trip to the Lake Tahoe area where L.E. attended court to defend himself against allegations of an over-zealous CHP officer who attempted to assume and act upon powers of inquisition (perhaps encouraged by the telecom act?) which he does not have.

When L.E. refused to be party to his inquisition, the CHP person threatened to (and did) issue a citation claiming the beetle was mechanically defective.

L.E. prevailed.


Did the fat lady sing?

The elections are over. We have a president elect.

L.E. is alarmed at the choices he is making for Chief of Staff and indications of his choices for cabinet posts. Republicans should be happy as apparently the status quo is intact. I.e. it appears highly likely, as anticipated, that the existing corporate dominance of our government will remain.


A non-partisan organization is being established in order that citizens may hold their elected representative's feet to the fire. November5.org


THREE COAL FIRED POWER PLANTS FOR NEVADA?

That is the intention of the power industry. If we have any respect for the future, our children's and grand children's health; if we have any respect for our proper guardianship of our ecology-WE SHOULD JOIN TOGETHER TO STOP ANY COAL FIRED POWER GENERATION PLANTS BEING CONSTRUCTED IN OUR STATE (OR ANYWHERE).


KEEP WATCHING FOR HOW TO GET ONBOARD.


CELL PHONES IN CARS?

Do you agree with L.E. that they create danger and, therefore, should be banned in cars? Please take poll.
