Sheldon what happened to AWESOME? And maybe I am stalking you?

In any case, good morning everyone.

I saw the GOVERNATOR on TV this morning claiming that he is getting ready to launch a new green initiative economic recovery plan that will include replacing all the diesels in the Californian service vehicles with hybrids...as I say this with sarcasm, I must also point out that he means to include trains in this equation as well. Yes, trains. If I ran into Arnold tomorrow, I think I might smack him in the back of his big stupid head.

Why not just hook the freight cars to a few Prius'?

Gonna try my best to follow your advice!

I watched that video you posted of your drive to work, seems like where you live is actually a decent sized place. Here I thought it was just a tiny little town sorta type place.

Well that was driving right through downtown. I live on the edge of town a stone's throw from farmland and I have to get across town to get to work so...I go right through the downtown corridor.

Cedar Rapids is the 2nd biggest city in Iowa. Its dinky compared to Denver standards but is an ok size. Population of 128,056 in 2008 according to Wikipedia and that doesn't include the little sattelite towns....the whole area is probably closer to 250,000 people.
