Kansas State Historical Society - Wind Wagons Hat tip: the extremely cool Gadgets Page.

Elitist morons. Dems Won’t Allow More Drilling Even if Gas Hits $10 A Gallon Watch the videos.

After riding my motorcycle into work this morning in an effort to save gas (and, yes, there's that wind in my hair thing going on too, even though I always wear a DOT approved full face helmet and enough armor to qualify me as a knight of the realm, or the Round Table, or whatever), I am even more convinced that to survive as a motorcycle rider in New Mexico, you have to take the attitude that everyone is out to kill you. Some aggressive guy in a big SUV rode right up on me through Glorieta Pass at about 6:30 this morning, and I was going the speed limit. Riding a motorcycle to work is not for the faint of heart. I remember everything they taught me in the two safety classes I've taken. I strive to be a really solid technical rider. But at the same time--Paranoia Rules.

Jack Bauer and I are out in the shed building one of these Wind Wagons right now.

I'll let you know how it goes.
