a penny for your thoughts
Ok, I'm only going to be giving you a small eeeeensy beeeensy taste of this info (if you haven't read up on it already), but I think this is FASCINATING.
See, I've been all stressed about driving my Trooper (I drive an SUV! gasp!). Yes, for middle east reasons a little, but honestly it's more about Global Warming and the fact that the damn gas hog sucks up $40 worth of gas every week!!!!! That's an expensive bill every month! (granted our government could put some damn regulations on it!!).
I actually feel like I should have a bumper sticker on it that reads "I didn't buy this SUV on purpose!". Because actually my Step-Dad who used to own an Auto Body shop got it as a rolled rental a couple years ago, so he was able to file for title and sell it to me for a really really good deal. And for the most part, I do love it! It's hauled me (and my many craigslist purchases :p) around very well... not to mention it's the first NEW car I've ever had and that feels super luxurious. But even since I first got it, I wanted a smaller car for the environment & to save the gas money to put towards other things (more drunken online shopping anyone?).
Another reason I've been overly concerned about the environment even more so lately, is cuz of all this really nice weather we've been having here! SOOO unlike San Francisco I was convinced that in 5 years we'd all be BBQ'd on our way to work at this rate!
SO I have seriously started considering buying an electric car - or a hybrid. And when mentioning it around the office today my boss (who's SUPER smart and after talking to him I imagine myself looking like a dumb cheerleader smackin my gum and bouncing my blond piggytails around w/ a blank stare on my face compared to his vast knowledge) he was telling me about how the Global Warming issue is creating a paradox that actually might onset an Ice Age upon us!
Note to the reader: If you read any of these hyperlinks, read the last two. They are really the point of this post.
So I'm psyched to get more info on this. I'm sure I'm not the last to know about this whole ice age thing... and for all I know someone may have mentioned it to me awhile ago and I forgot the details of it again... but bottom line is I'm psyched to find out about it now while I'm all super stressed out about it!
My boss then said "don't sweat it, instead go buy some hats because soon we'll all be freezing". So maybe I will get that Suburu Outback I've been wanting.
