Macabre

This Life Gem stuff is just about the creepiest and strangest thing I’ve ever heard. Making a diamond out of your loved ones? That’s just ghastly. Especially the bit about imperfections in the carbon matrix making each gem unique.


Speaking of Gas
05 10th, 2006

With gas prices hitting $3.19 on island, I thought I would pass along some great tips for improving mileage:

  1. Moderate driving – Quit driving like a maniac
  2. Lower Speeds – No need to hurry
  3. Use Cruise Control – It’s amazing how much better my mileage is using cruise control
  4. Avoid Excessive Idling – Sitting at ITC for awhile? Turn the car off.

Using these tips I managed to add about 70-80 miles on a tank of gas. I’m not kidding. I used to get about 230 miles out of a full tank. Now I can stretch it out to 300 miles or more. Who needs a hybrid?
