Let's hear it for global warming!

With windchill bringing the temp to -3F, I think I'll go buy an SUV. Vermont could use a little more warming...

Speaking of SUV's, is this not the stupidest thing ever? I mean, ok, I understand why we don't want a major American industry to go belly up. That sort of thing is bad for the economy, and puts a lot of employees out of work for no fault of their own. On the other hand, if that major American industry refuses to make cars that get more than, say 2.5 mpg, I'm not sure that throwing billions of dollars at the problem will make it go away. Maybe, shockingly enough, American car manufacturers should try making cars that are a) fuel efficient and b) smaller than your average tank. Just a thought. *Packs bags in preparation for getting thrown into Gitmo*

Deep thoughts...

You know you're finally settled into a new job when the printer runs out of paper, and you know where to find the obscure supply cabinet two buildings away without asking anybody.
