Wherever one travels on this earth life surprises. Life surprises us even when our travels are inward, rhetorical, or merely philosophical. If we venture forth, life teaches us that the world is not flat, but rather all its ends connected.

The Grease Trip

The Grease Trip (News) Sarah Wash

This article from Utne Magazine caught my attention. I think I know what I might like to do for my next car. Why not buy a used Mercedes diesel and convert it to run on biofuel?

The article has lots of how-to information.

It happens that my neighborhood figures in some of the news on biodiesel. If you search Google for biodiesel and "Takoma Park" you'll get links like these (this first one I attended with a friend, Mindy Mailman):
