Funny Yellow Car: June 2005
http://funnyyellowcar.blogspot.com/2005_06_01_archive.html
Being the chronicles of one woman's adventures with the Corbin Sparrow all electric car. Monday, June 27, 2005. Romancing the Hydrogen Highway. To the editor that were printed were very supportive. I even got a letter from Joseph Romm himself saying "great article". (He wrote the book I referenced). The article can be read online. There is a misprint. It should be 10,000 gallons not 1,000 gallons to fuel 800 cars. Posted by AK at 12:01 PM. More About the Sparrow. More About Electric Vehicles.

Funny Yellow Car: November 2005

Being the chronicles of one woman's adventures with the Corbin Sparrow all electric car. Saturday, November 26, 2005. Xebra and Obvio at SF Auto Show. Suddenly we have an affordable electric car on the scene. For just under $9,000, the Xebra claimed to carry four people and get up to 40 mph with a 40-mile range. Could it be true? The alternatives were natural gas, hybrids and hydrogen. To their credit they did explain that the making of hydrogen causes more emissions than if you were to use fossil fu...

Being the chronicles of one woman's adventures with the Corbin Sparrow all electric car. Sunday, March 27, 2005. Why Automakers Don't Want Electric Cars. They giveth and they taketh Away. So why wouldn't a car company like Ford, GM or Toyota want to sell an electric car? Don't Crush bumber stickers were handed out at the June meeting. Posted by AK at 6:52 AM. Saturday, March 26, 2005. I had a letter published in the National Resource Defense Council's quarterly magazine "On Earth". I wanted to point ...

Being the chronicles of one woman's adventures with the Corbin Sparrow all electric car. Saturday, September 17, 2005. Somehow this request never quite made it into the program. At first they said yes, then they couldn't remember, then it was too late to include us and basically they thought we would just forget about it. Did they not know whom they were dealing with? And that, with the help of Greenpeace, they succeeded? As Margaret Meed said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed cit...

Funny Yellow Car: December 2004
http://funnyyellowcar.blogspot.com/2004_12_01_archive.html
Being the chronicles of one woman's adventures with the Corbin Sparrow all electric car. Friday, December 03, 2004. Flight of the Sparrow. Who would have thought that a car would be the answer to my post election funk? Hey, if you can't beat them go shopping! Besides a sporty little car would be a fitting right of passage to the traditional mid-life crisis. Sparrow owners who were selling wanted a buyer with EV experience to make sure the car would stay on the road. I read the information on the site...

Amanda Kovattana: March 2004

Middle-aged musings in interesting times. Monday, March 01, 2004. Drive A 100 Miles In His SUV. Walk a Mile in a Man's Shoes; Drive 100 Miles in his SUV. I drove gingerly with this in mind, making sure to double check my clearance with every lane change. Why, I had to wonder, did people buy these things when a minivan holds more and is better engineered for safety? I was suddenly struck by my new status. Usually I was the one on the bicycle looking up at the woman in the SUV. Would she see me? Amanda is ...

Middle-aged musings in interesting times. Monday, November 08, 2004. We can celebrate that our Democracy is alive and well in America (a little voter fraud not withstanding). The people have shown us they want a moral America. You didn't think I was going to take this lying down did you? News broadcasters showed ordinary, nice, sweet people wanting what anybody would want that Valentine's Day weekend. How could it be wrong to let them have the same rights as everyone else? The day after the election, lib...

Amanda Kovattana: October 2004

Middle-aged musings in interesting times. Monday, October 11, 2004. The After Life of Stuff. People used to save things for their kids. Now they were calling me because their mom had died that year leaving them with a houseful of things they didn't have room for, plus all the emotional baggage that comes with having to throw away the belongings of a family member. For such a corporate client, I posted a number of items, one by one, on Excess Access. Which brought me to Freecycle. Twenty swivel chairs lat...

Middle-aged musings in interesting times. Monday, September 27, 2004. Warming Up To The Topic. I asked him. "Oh you cannot really tell something like that unless you have 300 years of data," he said, "there are always periods of severe weather patterns." I dropped it. If the possibility was not apparent to someone who had flown all the way from Florida to take classes in alternative energy at the Solar Living Center, I was at a loss. Still scientists wondered why the world, especially the U.S., w...Well,...
