...ALIEN SOCKET WRENCH... a science fiction story by gregvan...
This is a photograph of a wrench that I found in my backyard. It seems to have been left behind by space aliens. I can see that it clearly fits the hand/claw/tentacle... I bet that they are cursing loudly right now...
"Where is that *@##@#& wrench?"...

Kinetic Laboratory Open House and Party
The Laboratory that builds these works of art will be open to the public on Saturday, April 26th from 4pm to 9pm. This is a rare opportunity to go behind the scenes and see the underlying mechanical engineering that makes it all work. Talk to the designers and dance the night away. The lab is located at 8th and N street in a large warehouse in the industrial section of Arcata. Many of the sculptures are attached to the ceiling of the warehouse because there is not enough room to store them all on the floor. There will be live music, a raffle and a 9-hole kinetic miniature golf course.
The race itself is May 25th to May 27th and runs from Arcata to Ferndale. The sculptures race on roads, in sand and in the water. Therefore, the sculptures must be able to float and navigate the Eureka bay. Special tires must be used to travel on the sand dunes in Samoa. The tires and paddlewheels must be stored on the machine itself throughout the entire race. The official rules require all vehicles carry a teddy bear for emotional support.
June Moxon works at the Laboratory and has ridden a sculpture of a shoe across the United States. It took over two years to bicycle from Ferndale to Florida. She and her friend Ken Biedleman rode the sculpture and slept in a giant water barrel that was attached to the back of the shoe. They would ride until they ran out of money and then stop and build things for people. Once they had earned enough money to proceed, they continued their journey. Moxon's adventures are described in a book called "The Sky's the Limit" by Catherine Thimmesh. This book has brief biographies of famous women that accomplished great things. In the book there are stories of Jane Goodall and her research of the great apes of Africa. This is a children's book designed to inspire youngsters to believe in themselves and find the courage to go out and make a difference in the world. June finds herself the company of the great heroines of our time.
The Kinetic Sculpture race was started by artist Hobart Brown. He has an art gallery showcasing his metal sculptures on Main street Ferndale. The gallery features paintings by friends of his and a museum of the Race. The first race was in 1969 and has become a part of Humboldt County's Culture. People from around the globe come here to see the race and it brings in an estimated two million dollars to the local economy, said Bill Croft of the Humboldt Kinetic Association. At least six other cities have decided to start their own race. Perth (Australia), Baltimore, Ventura, Corvalis and even Poland have their own races.
www.kineticsculpturerace.org is
a website built by the Humboldt Kinetic Association. It has a map of the course, and the history of the race. Hobart has left the running of the race to the organization but still keeps his hand in. Visit them if you want to enter your own vehicle or start your own race. According to Bill Croft at the organization, corporate funding of this years race is less that normal. Due to the economy and the war, sources of money have dried up. He asks that every person in Humboldt county donate one dollar to the race.
Last year, students from UC Santa Barbara ran a sculpture that they had built for their own "moon rover" competition. It looked like a hot dog and bun. Even though it was a beautiful machine, it did not have the ability to go up the "slippery slimy slope". According to Robert Thoman at the Kinetic Laboratory, beauty is not enough to win in this race. The mechanical engineering requirements are rather tough. These machines have to go up an extremely steep hill near the end of the race.
The bands playing at the open house are: Spudgun, The Amazing Art Band and Compass Rose. Food, beer, wine and soft drinks will be served.

Brian Willson adresses a crowd at Humboldt State University. One of many anti-war protests held here. Just last week we were entertained by "the singing CIA agent"... We have a lot of fun at these anti-war protest marches and rallies. It seems pleasant to associate with people that are in favor of good and opposed to evil. I hardly ever see people marching with signs SUPPORTING the war in Iraq.
END THE WAR IN IRAQ. here is how...
BIODIESEL and E85 ETHANOL FUEL... Made in America by Americans. Instead of OIL and Gasoline from FOREIGN COUNTRIES ! Petrodollars finance Iraq, Iran and BUSH. Let's put them OUT OF BUSINESS. If we do not buy oil from them, they become insignificant. Bush could not have stolen the Presidency without petrodollars.
Petrodollars finance terrorists... Including the MADMEN named George W BUSH, Saddam Who's Sane? and Osama... Identical triplets!
Remember, the majority of Americans voted for Al Gore. The electoral college voted for Bush. WHO ARE THEY ?
There is No Need to fight a WAR in IRAQ if we just put American grown fuel in our cars and trucks. E85% ETHANOL is made from corn, wheat, rice, potatoes or EVEN PRUNES. BIODIESEL is made from soybeans, hemp or sunflower seeds. Lets keep the MONEY spent on fuel IN THE UNITED STATES. Go ahead, drive all you want. We'll just GROW more! American farmers need your support. ASK for Biodiesel and E85 Ethanol whereever Gasoline is sold.
BIODIESEL...a simple solution to a complex problem
E85 ETHANOL FUEL...an alternative to WAR with Iraq...
