Bryan's Visit

A blogger friend of mine came for a weekend visit just passed. He had been in NYC visiting with friends for a week or more and decided he should see us before heading back to LA.

Since his visit was so short, we headed to P-town so he could see what a gay mecca looks like.

Had a great time in P-town just wandering around and watching the antique car parade.

Here's a snap of us just before Bryan headed back to the airport. Gawd, I look tired.

Nicki's new car

I think this is pretty wild, but given today's clamor about alternative vehicles and energy sources, I'm delighted to know someone who is delving in.

Actually, I was pleasantly surprised to learn at a party last night that our neighbors, the Blanchard family, are all about reducing carbon footprint.

So, Nicki has ordered a Spark-ev vehicle. Spark-ev designs and produces all-electric personal transports.

The vehicle pictured here costs about $9,000 delivered to your front door. And, no, you don't have to put it together. It is fully assembled. Top end speed is 40mph for this two-seater although top speed is regulated by individual state law.

It runs for about 60 miles on a single charge and it costs about $1.00 to recharge the batteries in an eight to ten hour period.

Pretty cool.
