A BRILLIANT IDEA
Don Surber solved the global warming crisis: "Hey, maybe we can fill our tires with carbon dioxide."
And at 32 psi per tire, that’s a lot of carbon dioxide.
The California Air Resources Board adopted a resolution requiring auto repair shops to check tire pressure every time drivers bring in their vehicle for maintenance, oil changes and smog tests.
With 120 million cars and pickups on the road, that’s 480 million tires.
And at 32 psi per tire, that’s a lot of carbon dioxide.
TENT CITIES
In an earlier post I referred to a New York Times article (pictures here) on homelessness in California.
Homelessness is sad anywhere, but just to put those pictures in context, here is a reminder of the sacrifices our military are making in Iraq and Afghanistan.
This is one of the Times' pictures.
This is the interior of the trailer I lived in during my 2008 deployment.
Here is a second Times photo of a homeless "village."
This is our "village" in Iraq. The shelters are cargo containers.
And I would end by pointing out that these are the high–dollar quarters for senior military and civilian – basic quarters are nowhere near as nice.
