I think that if you want to always be a very good father or mother you’ll now have to have a really good clean knowledge involving your own little one.

Interesting item on NPR, listened to it while driving of course!

OPEC blames the weak dollar for the rise in gas prices. The OPEC stance is simple, The dollar is low so the same dollar doesn’t buy as much oil. US financial analysts took this one step further. The dollar is weak, therefore US investor are looking for ways to limit exposure to the dollar. One way to do this is to get out of financial instruments and invest in commodities. One such commodity is… OIL! So the dollar is weak, therefore oil prices go up. Investors see the oil price go up and, speculating on a price hike, start buying oil… It’s an amazing, self-serving, vicious circle you can’t get out of.

Other size requirement:

being able to park it between to Amsterdammertjes (the poles lining the canals in Amsterdam). I always noted with amusement the dents that perfectly fitted a ‘Amsterdammertje’ in front and back bumpers on just about any large sedan in Amsterdam. Try fitting your Nissan Titan in there (okay, maybe the approach here is to just drive over the pole, but they are quite resistent to abuse, don’t know why they make them that way in Amsterdam ).

Marco, “the tanks of hummers in local desserts” is repeating my point I already said “Buy a more fuel-efficient automobile.” Yet, my neighbor just bought a new Nissan Titan V8. If you don’t know what that is, look it up. It’s a MONSTER. The roads are lined with Suburbans. If you aren’t a bus driver, who needs a passenger vehicle THAT big? When I bought a larger car a few years back, because we were constantly hauling people around, I felt guilty about the size. Nowadays, it’s dwarfed by bigger and bigger vehicles and… wait here is my next gripe… the people that clearly have no business driving anything that size. Vehicular size rule #1: If you can’t back the thing up into the space appointed by the parking lot attendant at a sports game (there are a 100 people waiting on you) you are driving to big of a car. That, and you are spending way to much money on getting to the game.

interesting… Don’t agree 100% totally (as with anyone) but this stuff will make you think. Would be nice to find a solution.

Or the tanks of Hummers in local desserts . Whatever the cause is, other countries using more energy (catching up with the US standard of consumption ), not enough production capacity … one aswer is simple: reduce the amount you consume. Does a 4 door sedan really need a V6 engine and is 23 MPG really energy efficient (it is according to the local car sales ad in front me) ? I remember that my 1.7 liter turbo diesel Citroen Xantia actually had quite a decent sized engine back in the late 90’s for European standards. A 2.0 or more engine was a sign of an absolute top of the line model. When I moved here I couldn’t find a car with less than a 2.0 liter engine and any decent sized car had a 4.0 engine or more.
