I would hate to have an argument with 7734 because I am competitive and would be greatly disadvantaged.( tipping my hat)

+1 I read your comment to my wife and she said it sounded like us talking.

Saying I pray unto O ye heap big Aztec sun god Al Na-na-hoo-at-zin sounds kinda cool~though maybe with a couple of woo-woo-woos thrown in while dancing to a tom-tom.
Clink the link to wonder with amazement over my scholarly research source~

I think your right!

If libs were just plain pagan brains instead of being really stupid pagan brains, they'd be worshiping the sun instead of Al Gore. .

Oh, well, the libs dumped "global warming" in exchange for "climate change" for about the same reason I've always preferred multiple choice for test questions.
Ya never knows how dem bones gonna roll.

I followed your link and am impressed. I have requested the catalog via email. Meanwhile as I look at the T3-1 Trike I see that it has "room for 6' drivers" and that concerns me because I'm over 6'2" and can't fit into some vehicles I'd like to have owned such as a Mazda RX3 and new 2004 Thunderbird. Are they really too small for us taller folks?

I read this to my wife who wisely pointed out that the way things are going in Europe, by 2040 the Muslims will have taken over and every body will be riding camels. ;-)

I am a terrible party-goer.
I'm easily bored and unless I can get into an argument, or discuss several esoteric subjects I do tend to sit on a couch with my eyes glazed over. Sort of asleep with my eyes open. If I know that certain people who I like or would like to meet will be there that's different.

The BW ? Mine is the head of social and domestic affairs, Thank goodness for that.
Herb , very sorry about your mobility.

Liberals hate reality. It is so often inconsistent with the "collective social good."

Thanks ProfChuck! Even put together, wind and photovoltaic solar are supplying less than 1 per cent of global energy demand. From the International Energy Agency’s 2016 Key Renewables Trends, we can see that wind provided 0.46 per cent of global energy consumption in 2014, and solar and tide combined provided 0.35 per cent. Remember this is total energy, not just electricity, which is less than a fifth of all final energy, the rest being the solid, gaseous, and liquid fuels that do the heavy lifting for heat, transport and industry.

The last century of economic growth by countries shows a pattern which these planners seem to be completely clueless about.

First a country is poor, and has very little pollution beyond the local level because nobody can afford a car or a modern home.

Then, IF they adopt free market principles or at least a system where ordinary people can sometimes keep the fruits of their labor, the country becomes developed. Pollution becomes noticeable and maybe even pretty bad, but the law does nothing about it because common sense correctly tells everyone that modern industry and heated houses are more important (and save more lives!) than trying to solve air pollution by regulating them away.

Finally, they become as wealthy as the US in 1900-29 or 1950-80, and they can afford to start doing something about pollution. Then air gets cleaner.

And if they're really lucky, they make it through all these stages without ever letting "gimme-ists" get their hands on government power, which they will use to destroy everything and force us back to primitive existence if given half a chance.

Give the Red Chinese local and regional government leadership some credit, because they seem to understand this pattern (if not all its causes) and are trying to keep growth going in spite of corruption. But try to teach this to people in the West and the Democrats will vilify you as Nazis or whatever lie about you they think they can sell today.

And here, I thought I was a collector of trivia.
Great story, thugh. Years ago, when I objected to going to this or that party or soiree because they'd bore me, the BW said that I would not be bored. That she would stand me in a corner telling stories to myself facing the wall. This no longer works because I cannot stand for more than 5 minutes at a time.

The thing that a lot of people forget is that for electricity to be available there must be a generator somewhere and for that generator to work it needs a source of energy. Where is that going to come from?

It is thought the phrase originates with the story of Catherine Douglas and her attempt to save the Scottish King James I. He was attacked by discontented subjects in Perth in 1437. The room he was in had a door with a missing locking bar. The story goes that Catherine Douglas tries to save him by barring the door with her arm. Her her arm was broken and the mob murdered the King. The 'lass that barred the door' - Catherine Douglas, was henceforth known as Catherine Barlass. The story, although in it is the full Sir Walter Scott romantic history style, is quite well documented from contemporary records and the descendants of Catherine Douglas still use the Barlass name.

The event was commemorated in Dante Gabriel Rossetti's poem The King’s Tragedy, 1881. The full poem is 173 stanzas, but this selection shows the possible links with Katy bar the door:

Then the Queen cried, "Catherine, keep the door,
And I to this will suffice!"
At her word I rose all dazed to my feet,
And my heart was fire and ice.
...
Like iron felt my arm, as through
The staple I made it pass:-
Alack! it was flesh and bone - no more! 570
'Twas Catherine Douglas sprang to the door,
But I fell back Kate Barlass.

I'll tell ya the reason...because they are stupid pagan brain only creatures.

Thanks for sharing the experience
This is the bullet we dodged, amazing image of the sun going off with ripples across the massive star http://www.suspicious0bservers.org/

Yes the smog is a real concern.Thanks DrZ for the
Input.

I suppose it is just a coincidence that the Kakistratic bastards work in unison.

+1 Good points thanks Blarman.

Trumps bad hair and his rejecting Obamas economy killer agreement with the UN parasitical scumbags is at fault . Look at what all the co2 has done to Denmark.
Although he said it was too early to predict whether September might deliver the summer weather Danes are so desperately yearning for, it isn't terribly likely. In short, Larsen said 2017 would go down as a year without a summer.

“Without a long-lasting summer anyway. We managed to get one summer day in July, but that is hardly enough to make us look back at this summer and remember it as particularly good,” he said.

A ‘summer day' is defined as any day in which temperatures top 25C (77F) at least somewhere in Denmark. It was not until the second to last day of the month that the threshold was passed, allowing the country to very narrowly miss out on the distinction of the first summer-less July since 1979.

What!!! no cars for us petrol heads in the UK!!! I'm glad I left then, who wants do a normal eight hour drive in eight days? Not me!!!!

Thanks:)

The fact that I hate the way China does it, this is a long time coming.Up until recently, electricity for vehicles has remained to a large extent undeveloped. If a real market incentive for electric cars showed up, then I would be willing to bet that a solution to the problems would be quickly forthcoming. Two things are needed. A power storage system that will allow you to go 300 to 400 miles. The power needs only minutes to be replenished.

Once engineers saw the value of the internal combustion engine and developed ways to utilize it, as the old-timers would say, it was "Katy bar the door."
