This cool car company called Tesla Motors has made a totally electric sports car that can go from 0 to 60 in less then 4 seconds and has a top speed of over 125 miles per hour.

On a fully charged battery the car can operate for about 3 and a half hours and runs on no fuel whatsoever, making it a zero emissions car.

its a really great looking car, and if you have solar panels installed at home it costs you nothing to recharge the battery, so you will never have to pay for gas or to charge the cars battery.

The price tag on this car is at $100,000 per car, but is well worth every penny in my opinion because of the looks and the features and the huge potential savings on fuel.

Roommate Woes

Guest post written by Joseph Finch

My roommate and I had the biggest argument the other night about Internet Service Providers. It started as a simple conversation about changing our internet provider, but she wanted to go with an one I thought was way too expensive. I was being stubborn, and then she got mad. It’s funny how the smallest thing can start a fight between roommates. One day you are best friends, and the next you are back at each other’s throats. Sometimes we spend weeks without a problem and even hang out and have fun together. But then, something sparks a fight and we are on bad terms again. I really do like my roommate, and hope we can patch things up again. I think I need to calm down a little and cut her some slack. I can be a control freak sometimes, and I’m sure it’s not easy to live with me. It’s really too bad I can’t afford to live on my own right now because I think that would be better suited to me. I like to have things my way and that’s not always easy for those stuck with me.

Should have quit while I was ahead

Well the wonderful and peaceful dinner at Thanksgiving time was not repeated at Christmas. I should have quit while I was ahead. Two family members entered a quarrel, which ended with both of them leaving the house to go to their respective homes in tears. It was all a misunderstanding that could have been avoided if I had been in the room when it started, but that was not the case. I really hate it when I have a dinner party for the family and people leave the house in tears. I like to think that people have a good time when they come over, and when they leave the house in tears it is obvious that did not happen.

Went to the decorative painting class again tonight.  We painted apples, pears, and plums.  The school was locked up tight, we had to bang very loudly on the front doors so that the maintenance people would let us in.  I banged so hard, I hurt my fist!  I hope we don’t have that problem again!

New Hobby for DH

For years we have been sharing one computer for the whole household. But with DH home so much now, we thought it would be good to get a second PC.

DH announced today that he has decided to try his hand at building our new computer from a kit that he bought online from a website specializing in PC Kits. DH has always been handy with tools, so I am impressed that he is going to try his hand at building our computer.
