G.M. Puts $41,000 Price Tag on the Volt – NYTimes.com

Hmm. Let me think about this for a minute. $32780 for a fully electric vehicle (Nissan LEAF) with minimal maintenance or I could spend $8220 more for a vehicle that still uses gasoline (premium, nonetheless) and has 2/5 the pure-electric range. Sorry, Chevy. I think you missed the boat again.

If I want a long-range petroleum-powered car, I’ll drive my Golf. If I want to stay in town, I’ll go with a pure EV. Simple. Get off the petro!

Tonight my mom and I watched Food, Inc. It was informative and scary. I recommend everyone watch this film. Correction: everyone who cares about what he/she eats. Some people may not.

An Adrenaline Moment

Driving home just now on Sheridan a guy in a pickup thought it would be a good idea to turn left directly in front of me. I hit the brakes (and the horn) hard and we stopped less than 10 feet from each other. He stopped his turn before entering my lane and while I was stopped proceeded to back up into the turn lane and continue on his way. What a moron (I have more choice words for him but shall refrain). This was on SB Sheridan just N of Sloan’s Lake.

Winter Burrito

Both K and I thought P said “Winter Burrito” when actually she said “Went to [a] burrito…” It’s her dialect that confused us both simultaneously from across the room.

And I thought it was a new food to go along with summer sausage and spring rolls.

Table Art

From the Interstate Kitchen & Bar last night. I drew the Purple People Eater and Jack-o’-lantern, K drew the bird.
