On the beach in Belmar NJ

Had a great time in the waning days of summer 2008. Water was
fantastically warm and had both kids in the water body surfing together.
I’d really like to get the kids over to the Jersey shore at least one
more time before summer ends. Note to self: bring more quarters for
parking and pack better sandwiches.

Electric Chinese Invasion!

Took this pic on my way home from work. Headline reads in my mind:
Communists electrify Lititz drivers….

Lititz Car Company is one of 60 dealers in the USA to start selling
these crazy three-wheeled, entirely electric cars. OK technically the
DoT classed them as motorcycles… and you need a motorcycle license to
drive ’em. Zap Xebra homepage @ http://www.zapworld.com/ .

What do I think? New, ugly, different. Of course it’s interesting, and
sad, to note that with all the ‘greening’ of America we’re at least two
years away from any ‘american’ manufacturer from putting a production
electric car on the streets. Beat to the punch by a second-world,
backward totalitarian state…. Bad karma.

I’m not going to hold out a lot of hope for the occupants of a Xebra
when they crash into a Ford Excursion at 35 mph… that’s going to be an
ugly call.
