thunderstorm, almost tornado

we actually headed for the closet this night. just in case. but the storm passed and we still have a rented home. this is definitely the scariest part about living in Oklahoma. pretty awesome lightning show, though.

I hope there are answers here

So, the company once accused of killing the electric car is determined to produce one now. GM unveiled the VOLT concept car recently, which carries gas simply to recharge the battery. Is it better than the long awaited Tesla? What about the tiny Zebra?
I like this change in GMs attitude, however trendy it may seem. The important thing is that something gets done. I don't know how much I trust fuel cell concepts (how do you get the water back once you've broken it?) but the general swing toward all things green and clean excites me. What did you do today to change your environment for the better? I walked to work, recycled paper...thats about it. Admittedly I didn't even think about it till right now, but there you go! It's easy!

from a moving vehicle

so, today I was that person you have to look out for on the road. this was the sky on my way home from tahlequah, where I work. now we're sitting here under a tornado warning... watching the lightning and mootpt playing the guitar.
