I had surgery recently and wear a bone stimulater/ For the duration, I can't risk going out in public NOR drive a Prius nor Leaf. The bone stimulator has a pesky side effect of shutting down pacemakers and electric car engines, and I wouldn't want to be responsible for someone's heart and or car stopping. Some people get migraines and tingling extremities along with diminished reflexes, depending on what type of hybrid electric technology they use. Hopefully this will be a quick recovery and I can get my paws on a volt or Tesla (if the price goes waaaay down). <br />Excellent idea, and you're right, it worked for cigarettes. Knowledge is power.

It truly is amazing how much fuel Americans, and probably everybody everywhere, wastes idling their vehicles, driving faster than 55 mph, and starting too quickly. It's the laws of physics, pure and simple, and very few people stop to think about how their actions affect the planet, their future, and their children and grandchildren's future. Personal convenience rules the day, consequences be damned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-44919244117664500922015-11-22T08:39:43.380-09:002015-11-22T08:39:43.380-09:00I think this is fabulous!
