Default too good not to share...

anyone who has read P.J. O'Rourke knows that very few of our generation can paint such a vivid, colorful and humorous picture with words. came across this and had to share. i won't even chide him for mistaking power for energy.

if it doesn't start a video in your mind i apologize in advance...

I saw that, excellent article. Exactly right!

These PCNA videos are perfect complemenst to P. J. O'Rourke's piece:

A company of dreamers

Love Story - Patrick Stewart, narrator

"Dream as impractical, irrational and unnecessary as that may be...Here's to the Dreamers!" Indeed!

Thanks for the link. But many of us are still obsessed with the automobile, and will continue to remain so, until they have to pry the keys out of our cold, lifeless hands.
