That’s funny, I just realized yesterday (reading a book about political parties in 19 century Britain) that I could actually get paid for political organizing if I was willing to do the work required, and really, how would we have political parties, or any other large organization, if we didn’t pay some people to master the tasks?

It’s kind of like that Edwards haircut thing- of course I want him to have a good haircut, he’s campaigning for a job representing me.

Chip,
I feel good about the Mariner. I;ve wanted a hyrid and I wanted an American car for lots of reasons, not the least loyalty to the US of A. Misplaced perhaps but it felt good buying energy efficiency in an American line, and getting what for now is cutting edge technology. You wonder why, given how hard it was to find this vehicle — it came from a Mount Pleasant dealer through a Traverse City dealership. I also really liked the people I dealt with at Grand Traverse Auto. They worked the numbers to make the purchasae possible and they were all just really personable pros. If you ever want to buy a Ford product in this region they are the place to go. Thanks for writing.

Good piece, and while I’m still skeptic on current generation of hybrids, you made the right sort of choice – SUV/Crossover vs Prius, although I think there is a good package in the Saturn SUV “Greenline” hybrid.

My rant is much the same as Bob Lutz’s – Prius is brilliant marketing, it allows Toyota to sell Giant Pick Ups with no backlash.

Suspect we’ll keep our current Envoy and my more than decade old car … no fresh environmental cost in steel, rubber, plastics, etc.

Dinner tonight with old friend who is with GM Advanced Engineering working on Hydrogen project (leapfrog Hybrids) … hope to learn a lot.

Green ideas: been there for a long while, solar water pre-heating, compact fluoresces where they work, motion sensing light switches (turn lights off when no one around), work from home (no commute)…

Ciao
