" Go hybrid, save money and the environment"
" Hybrid vehicles, such as the Toyota Prius and the Honda Insight ( 66 mpg! ), which combine an electric motor with a gas-powered engine, are more earth-friendly and can save you money on gas. If you bought a hybrid in 2004, you can claim a one-time $2,000. deduction on your federal tax return. The deduction is available to original owners only and drops to $1,000. for 2005 and $500. for 2006. Some states even make hybrids exempt from HOV rules. But order early - wait times can be up to a year." from the Navy Federal Credit Union's Personal Finance on Smart Car Shopping in the Homeport Newletter vol. 46 no. 1 winter 2005 p.15
In Rogers, Arkansas, I use a 26 inch single speed Raleigh Retroglide bike with front basket and saddlebags aft to get food from Walmart (6 mile trip). Bean Power!
I gave up driving cars in 2000.
I have a breathing disorder called apnea.
Some days I am very sleepy.
I am sleepy brain.
I was in grade school, when my good doctor in Madison, Wisconsin took out my tonsils to assist my breathing.
I had sleepy brain apnea problems in high school.
In the Navy (1978), firefighting smoke, pneumonia, asthma and dust mites caused more breathing problems.
I searched for answers, but I did not find a good doctor (in Naples,Florida),until March 1999.
Doc Martin A. Cohn
Apnea requires me to use a breathing machine CPAP when I sleep at night.
