Scootin

Scooter is here! Took a short ride last night... Pics to soon follow!

Bad Gas

With gas prices like these:


...and gas forecasters saying to expect rises of $1.00 to $1.20 over the next 12 months, the scooter I ordered today can't get here soon enough. 4 to 6 weeks...

Going Green One Upsmanship

Like most people these days, I'm thinking more and more about the environment and resource usage. I find in a lot of cases I don't have the knowledge to know which habits are truly greener than other habits.

For instance, in a public restroom, is it better to use paper towels to dry my hands or use the electricity consuming air dryers? Should I purchase a new Hybrid Prius (damaging the environment with the Prius' manufacturing) or purchase a used, fuel efficient Corrolla?

Check out The Green Lantern for scientific answers to some of these kinds of questions. It's really interesting to me. The downside is that we can't all have bio-environmental engineering degrees to know what to do when we just want to dry our hands. I'm really interested to see what life habits will change over the course of my life time due to the thrust of environmental consciousness.

By the way, I'm not going to purchase a used Corolla or a new Prius - I'm purchasing Lance's F4 Interceptor Scooter! 70 to 80 mpg, baby!
