It’s amazing the things I never think about on my own. My brains stays pretty busy with work, blogging, family, church and all the normal things that fill up an average life. Every now and then I appreciate being jolted out of my reverie. That’s what happened this morning when I read […]

Coming soon to an American street near you, car that travels 125 miles on $3.00 worth of fuel. The power source? Air - specifically, compressed air. Top speed is about 70MPH, too. It’s not just on the drawing boards, it appears it’s on a few roads!

Poll Numbers Horrid but Dems Don’t Change Course …
