Happy Earth Day!
Happy Earth Day!
Today is the 38th annual celebration of the planet we call home, and a day to step back and think about things we can do to preserve and restore our natural resources…
So that’s the official line on Earth Day, but I want to know: what do YOU think about Earth Day?
Is it a time to reflect on accomplishments?
A time to call for more action?
Or something in-between?
Send a post, let us know, then go outside and do something good for the planet.

Evidence everything old is new…
Today’s entry in this week’s list of unique ways to get around is actually a look back, rather than forward.
I found a number of pages dedicated to the California Commuter. Mini-car, enclosed motorcycle, homage to George Jetson - whatever you want to call the tadpole shaped little machine, inventor Doug Malewicki got it into the Guinness Book of World Records for averaging 157+ mpg in real-world driving conditions.
I read on a connected site that Malewicki was, as of 2002, working on a 2-seater version of the car that is designed to cross the county on one 26-gallon tank of gas. I’ll see if I can find out more about where that project stands.
On a side note, Malewicki designed Evel Knievel’s rocket cycle that “jumped” the Snake River Canyon. The link here makes for some interesting reading.
