So we (Kait, Kee and Chris) were out today and I saw this. This bird was trying to get rid of a big Blue Heron that was also by the lake. I guess that he thought it was his lake. Any way he was very unhappy about it all.

Have a great day!

Who killed General Motors?

Watched an interesting show last night ... about electric cars. Normally, I don't think I'd be this interested in the concept - except it costs ALL of us hundreds and thousands of dollars to deal with the idiocy of our leaders. PLUS, riding my bike every day sucks, and to be honest can be scary, with all the cars on the road.


Because of this - I've become interested in the future of the car market.


Anyhow ...

Electric Cars have had 'potential' commercial viability since the 90's.

Ultimately, HOWEVER, GM (the leader of the technology at the time) moth-balled the entire concept because of lots and lots and lots financial rhetoric.


The interesting twist on it is this ...

General Motors Corp. is in danger of losing its 76-year title as the world's sales leader, as totals for 2007 released on Wednesday showed the automaker in a virtual tie with Toyota Motor Corp.

Toyota - who was the only large auto manufacturer who has been willing to keep the electric market alive - has slowly taken over for General Motors.



And Finally this ...

Toyota surpassed General Motors in worldwide vehicle sales during the first three months of this year, marking the end of one of the longest runs of dominance in all of global industry and another milestone in America's long decline from unchallenged industrial pre-eminence.

Watch the show, Who Killed the Electric Car, and you'll see that GM deserves to be killed. They devastated, what could have been an excellent concept, for their own greed.

And I'm NOT talking about environmental protection. That doesn't even factor into my discussion AT ALL. I'm talking about cost savings on fuel and vehicle parts maintenance. And JOBS for all those laid of GM employees - because GM was too short-sighted, and greedy, to see what they had.


D.R.I.P. General Motors! (Don't Rest In Peace)

Photo a day #2

AWANA Wednesday!

Photo a day #1

So I have had this idea that I wanted to do for some time now. I know it is nothing new but I thought it would be fun to do it here. the problem has been that I constantly forget to start when I think it would be a good time to start. Say like on a Monday or the first day of the month. But I always think about it for a day or teo befor and then on that day I get up and go about my day. Then the next day will come and I think bummer I forgot again. So because I will never remember at any real logical time to start this I will start today. Because after all it is at least an interesting day to start be that it is election day and all.
So here you are the photo of the day!!

Another Video - This time we're Canvas Painting

WOW! ... You've got to be kidding me.

Do you see what happens when I actually get free time to do stuff ... STUFF happens.


Here we go with another video. This one showcasing some more of the wondrous talents of the SpeerClan. This time ... we're painting canvases.


Still free of charge, although if you want to see more interesting, and lively stuff you need to go ahead and buy some of my products so I can take off more time from work, and spend time creating.

Sound good?

Hello? ...

Anyone there? ...


Anyhow - here's the video:


Here is a photo of the canvas that Chris did since it did not show well in the video.
