My Modest Proposal to End Global Warming, Revitalize General Aviation, and End Our Dependence on Foreign Oil
what a lonely life that is.
working from home. horrors, perish the thought. no cultural stimulation. bugger all new technology. everything you work with you have to pay for by yourself. stupid idea. long live the modern office. My wife telecommutes to a job in Wisconsin. She now does it from the hotel, but for years she did it from home. With little kids, it was great. Like being a stay-at-home mom, with income. Going to work meant putting slippers on, and sitting down at the PC. Later, when the kids were in school, you're right -- she was socially isolated, and lonely. She is now much happier telecommuting from the hotel, where there is obviously ample opportunity for social interaction. Telecommuting is great in many ways, but awful in others. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Nah, I want a pure electric vehicle. Plug & play. That is plug and PAY, Jay, plug and PAY. And given our impending shortage of electrical generation capacity, people who move this direction are going to pay dearly in 10-15 years ... unless they can ramp up the nuclear power plants a lot faster than I think they can. In 10-15 years it's probably time to replace that car anyway. -- Michael Ash Rogue Amoeba Software |

I work from home and go hang out with the glider club on the weekends, does great for the cultural stimulation business. bugger all new technology. everything you work with you have to pay for by yourself. Funny, my employers still buy most of my equipment even though they never see me, or it. -- Michael Ash Rogue Amoeba Software |

I've yet to see any proof that global warming is man made. I've seen
some evidence that it's more of a solar phenomena. As for ending the dependence on imported oil, so far hydrogen powered internal combustion engines look promising but will have the same issues and propane fueled engines. For now it's petrochemical fuel and there's more in the USA than the feds will let the oil companies drill for. Tony |
