By Jim Vicevich / March 26, 2011 /

As many of you may know blogging is not as easy for me as it used to be. Hopefully it’s not forever, but in the meantime Dragon Dictate is making it possible for me to continue to blog. It’s actually faster. Finally there’s a specific program for Mac that allows me to do this. So…

Electric cars and your money

By SoundOffSister / March 26, 2011 /

When did the electric car make its debut? You can scroll down to the bottom of this post to learn the answer, or, as a practical matter, I’d be interested in learning your guesstimate in the comments section below, before you scroll to the answer.

By Jim Vicevich / March 25, 2011 /

If this weren’t so serious, it would be absurd. Come to think of it, it is absurd.
