Didn’t have much luck last year, but this year I got my jalapenos in the ground early!
Here is a picture I took this morning of my Jalapeno pepper plants in the vegetable garden bed. Hopefully this year we will have some Jalapeno Peppers to make some hot salsa with!
The Hybrid GS Lexus for 2008 looks nice. “The luxury hybrid sedan that delivers extraordinary performance and lower emissions.”
I looked up the gas mileage on it.
The car gets 20% better fuel economy than its conventional cousin: 25 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, compared with 18/25 mpg. According to Lexus, that’s good for a savings of about 200 gallons per year, or $560 at current California prices for premium fuel.
When the “hybrid automobiles” started coming out, I thought they didn’t look as powerful as regular cars, but more and more that is being proven to me to not be the case. Some of the hybrids are really nice, like the Lexus above. The better gas mileage and lower emissions is a good bonus.
Started the day out by listening to The Beatles – which usually sets the tempo for the rest of the day depending on what comes my way.
I’ve been reading about a lot of gadgets lately and am impressed with some of the things coming out. Many of the “why didn’t I think of that?” Or “It was only a matter of time before someone invented that or came up with that idea?” And again that is the case here.
Amazon has released Kindle, which not only allows you to carry hundreds of novels with you at any given time, it uses the same wireless technology as cellphones so there is no connecting fees to browse books online and purchase right from a couple of clicks on your Kindle. Which means you can be in the back of a taxi, or walking down a street and buy a book and have it auto-delivered in under a minute! Isn’t that amazing?
I know what you’re thinking, “why didn’t I think of that?” Well, that’s how good ideas come – from right under our noses.
The display looks like paper, you can flip through pages fast, and even bookmark, highlight sections save your place and much more. Between this gadget, and the latest MacBook – I know what I want for my birthday. 
My wife wants to get a hybrid automobile. I told her I had read a little about the Hybrid Honda Civics so she is looking into them. If the vehicles get better gas mileage and are cool, it doesn’t really matter to me what she drives.
Hybrid cars don’t seem to cost more than normal cars and after a test drive or two they seem fun and reliable.
So much for the idea of romantic “rainy nights.” It has been rainy cats and dogs lately, and despite the classic idea of enjoying a rainy day afternoon – it gets old pretty quick.
Lots of rainy days and nights means more time for video games – or at least looking at more sites on the internet.
