Now I think I’ve seen it all!

I thought I was going to fall off of my chair laughing when I found this video! What a riot!

Fireworks

Next week we will be celebrating the 4th of July, which is one of my favorite holidays. Watching the fireworks is always a “blast” and it is a nice 3 day weekend. I can only hope that this heat wave is done and over with by the time it rolls around, it is playing havoc on so many people. I just ain’t right.

A Perfectly Good Cell Phone, Down The Toilet

Actually the title of this post basically tells it all. I dropped my cell phone into the toilet. What a dope! Of course I don’t have insurance on the darn thing. So it’s looks like I’m now in the market to find a new cell phone. I’m glad that Internet will make it a much easier task so that I won’t have to go running from store to store to find the right one for me.

Alice In Wonderland

I have promised my niece that I would take her to see the newest version of the old classic tale of Alice In Wonderful. The only reason I have consented to do so is that I am a Johnny Depp fan and I hear that he has done a good job in this new film. Guess we will see this weekend.

Avatar

The Avatar movie is a blockbuster. It’s breaking all box office records and is a technological breakthrough. I am planning to see it this weekend. I’ll let you know if it was as good as they say!

Solitaire

My dad taught me how to play various solitaire games. We used a deck of cards and there were different ways to deal out the hand and set some cards aside or order them that made for game variations.

Now with the use of computers, I’ve discovered there are many other types of solitaire games that have nothing to do with a deck of cards. You can use tiles and play majong. You can use beads and play Bejeweled. And there are dozens of video games of all types that let you play by yourself.

Can coal be clean?

Lucas — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 23:26:07 +0000

Over the past few months, I’ve been hearing a few people talking about “clean coal.” From time to time I hear something about new technologies being developed to make coal a “clean” energy source. I’ve watched a lot of television news stories about how coal is removed from the earth, how dangerous coal mining is, and how the economies of states like West Virginia and Pennsylvania depend largely on coal, but I am not convinced that coal is the direction we should be going. I think that we still need to be looking at solar energy, wind energy, and bio-diesel fuels made from algae.

Now that’s gas mileage!

I heard on the radio this morning that Volkswagen is planning to release at the end of 2010 a two-seater car that gets 234 mpg! I tried googling it on the Internet, but can’t find any information on it at all, which is discouraging because I love to look up stuff like that! Anyway, according to what I heard on the radio, it is an extra small car, the two seats are lined up one behind the other to improve the air dynamics. I’d love more information on that! I wonder how much trunk room there is for groceries!?????
