 This country needs to develop alternative energy sources ASAP so that we can kiss the oil producing nations goodbye forever.

I'll second that! And in the meantime, I wish they'd replace our local coal burning super-polluting power plant with a nice new nuclear plant - clean, safe, efficient!

It's well past time for nuclear science to catch up to computer science.

We've gone from computers that filled large rooms to microchips no larger than the head of a pin.  So why haven't we developed small nuclear cells for running cars?

Because (ahem)...of the same reason those last-forever tires were bought and filed away....it doesn't suit the purposes of the folks whose livelihoods depend upon maintaining the consumptive status quo.

During the summer I often walked to work. However, during the school year, that is bit more of a dangerous proposition since I work until midnight, so I drive for personal safety then. I do try and walk as much as possible. Exercise is is good and I have lost over 15 lbs and have 15 more to go. I do try and follow the rule of keeping my car parked at least once a week during the winter. I have learned to put my errands on days I drive, etc. It may not be a lot but it is something.

Nice new avatars for DRs TOMovOZ & TPUNK.

What a great find at the book dealers....MR BK...and what a lovely Kuhlman book.  Were her books privately published or were they marketed by a BIG house?

Hmmmm.....I was working at my office at the Indiana Department of Labor.  We were on Central Time then, so reports started coming in around 8 am....

I remembered the reading about the small plane that crashed into the Empire State Building in the 1940's...and thought that is what must have happened....  Then things got worse.  Someone pushed a television set into an office, and we watched.  They also sent us home around 1 pm.  I had to drive past the airport to get home, and I was a little worried.

It was a terrible day....and like DR MATTH and DR CP ... I really am not interested in watching any "docudramas" or "remembrances" of the events.  Being there was BAD enough.

We were also in the middle of a two-week run of THE ODD COUPLE.  I was playing Felix.  We had a scheduled pick up rehearsal that night, that I went to.  Some cast members were missing.  We had a brief "executive committee" meeting, and decided the show would go on Wed-Sat as scheduled.

But those were very difficult shows to do....but the audiences all said..."Thanks....we need to get back to as normal as possible..."  As if we ever could.

DR CILLA LIZ - check your garment pockets and the bottoms of drawers.  I think the necklaces are someplace you have already looked.  Look again.

Look in the box on your dresser that you typically do not put jewelry in. It has sort of a floral like design....

You placed it in an unusual location or box becuase the normal boxed was packed when you moved and you placed in another small box for safe keeping.

So why haven't we developed small nuclear cells for running cars?

Because (ahem)...of the same reason those last-forever tires were bought and filed away....it doesn't suit the purposes of the folks whose livelihoods depend upon maintaining the consumptive status quo.

No one has yet seriously proposed a nucear energy source for running automobiles. Tech development takesd place where the research money is, and here is where it is going:

•   Biodiesel
•   Combustion
•   Diesel Engine
•   Electric Vehicles
•   Ethanol
•   Fuel Cells Hybrid Electric Vehicles
•   Hydrogen
•   Liquefied Petroleum Gas
•   Natural Gas

Both Greenpeace and the Administration favoring the building of more nuclear power plants to off-load our dependence on oil.

Legislation has been enacted to fund both nuclear power plant efforts and the FreedomCar initiative (fuel cell technology).

der Brucer

PS There are more folks whose livelihood would be enhanced by new techology than there are oil companies who might lose; and those like Hallibuton and Bechtel have current clout.

Amidst the dumbfounded shock and horror, I admit two ugly and cynical thoughts crept into my mind. The first was a fleeting moment of conspiracy paranoia that the Republican Administration was behind this somehow, trying to prop up a flailing and failing presidency with some sort of tragedy.  I quickly dismissed this idea as being too ghastly for even the worst of their bunch.  


There are days I still believe this one!  I put nothing past the current vice president and his men.

So, I'm flipping through channels looking for an interesting informercial, and I recognize Matt Ashford on NBC - Days of Our Lives. I thought he was fired -- or drove off a cliff or something. What gives?

A quick lunch today so I was able to see one REALLY long movie. First, though, I finished HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS which I had begun last night. An OK filming of a great Broadway show. I wish some of the numbers from the original hadn't been dropped, but at least United Artists did better by its score than they did with FORUM's score.

DR Dakota Celt explained it earlier, but the long and short is that soaps are filmed many weeks in advance, and though he's no longer employed, the last shows he filmed are still airing. I think she said his last day is the 21st.

I next put in ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE. This is probably the Bond movie I've watched the least. I think the middle section really droops in interest and excitement. Still, I hadn't watched it in years and thought it was about time I did so.

I put in a DVD-RAM I made of WILL & GRACE episodes from Season 7. I had already watched three on this disc last week, but before I could actually get the episode started, the doorbell rang, and a friend dropped in for a visit.

I see that the President doesn't speak until 9 p.m. (EDT), so thanks caused some fancy shifting and preemption of tonight's prime time line-up. VANISHED is supposedly starting at 9:10. But I'm not sure exactly when anything else I want to watch is starting.
