Wowee...........today I received the item on the right
from a fellow blogger (you know who you are) and need
to say I'm touched and most appreciative. As I mentioned
in the email, you shouldn't have ; )

And the Book Bag on the left and the Peace booklet are
also from a fellow blogger and I too extend much gratitude
for the thought and cool surprises.

Thanks to ya both! ; )

In 1727 or so, a Brazilian, sent by the
royal authorities, obtained Brazils' first
coffee seeds from the wife of the Governor of
French Guina. The golden seeds he brought
back to Brazil are considered to have given
birth to Brazil's current billion dollar coffee industry.

Seeing as there's been all this talk about
the Energy Crisis we are in these days,
I thought I might point it this fascinating
find in the Dec 1932 Popular Science.

Remember, the Electric Car was alive
and making it's first foray in California
in the 1970s, before someone or company
decided to get rid of them. Of course, now
you hear the talk coming around again.

If someone would finally say enough is enough
to the big oil companies and finally do something.

I may be a bit daft, but at least from the '70s,
if left to the public and companies continuing to
work on the electric cars, where do you think we might
be now with our cars and energy?

Going further, Interurbans, street/trolley cars,
shopping local, no malls, hmmmmm????????

Who Killed The Electric Car?
