As I sit here in the rain, watching snow melt away my home state is on fire. Not just a little summer fire – if there were such a thing – but a the worst fire in the states recorded history.
108 people have died.
It is horrible and tragic. Words do not express how sad it must be for the people effected. And for those who are watching this event unfold who are nearer than I.
Speed bumps – the bain of every motorist looking for a smooth ride down small streets, or even a quick getaway in a shopping car park for instance. Now not being a car driver at the moment an article caught my eye in the paper today. And I was reminded quite how clever people can be when they want to be!
Some bright spark has designed a speed bump that generates energy from the weight of the car that will be able to power street lights. Cool Huh….. Although possibly not as cool as the night club with the sustainable floor invented by some clever Dutch fellas. Dance for the planet!
