I think that it is great that so many car manufacturers are developing, manufacturing, and selling a variety of hybrid vehicles. Finally they are starting to respond to what the consumers actually want and need! I’d like to buy a new vehicle in the next couple of years, once the economy settles down a little bit and we are a little bit more confident with our financial status. For now, we are looking at cars like the honda civic hybridÂ
and the toyota camry hybrid as the frontrunners for our car search.
My brother has been telling me that he wants to buy the new audi a3. I was reading about that car on the website thecarconnection.com and think that it is a nice looking car. I was surprised to read in that review that they seem to think that Americans in general don’t like hatch-backs and wagons. I love them!
I was listening to the radio this morning and the morning show hosts were talking about a television incident involving a German television star, Hans Blomberg. Apparently during a live television broadcast he groped the breast of a woman who was broadcasting the show with him, and she slapped him in the face – right on live television! Her name is Susanka Bersin, and I say good for her!  This was sexual assault, and she defended herself!
I’ve been reading blogs from a lot of people saying they don’t understand why Susankaslapped Hans. I was not surprised to see all of those posts were from men! Unfortunately a lot of “us” guys really don’t “get it.” And, because we don’t “get it” it is a rare occasion when we DO “get IT.” You know what I mean? A little sensitivity gets you where you want to go guys! If you want to see the video of the incident, click on the embeded video in this post!

Underage drinking has been a problem ever since I can recall. I can remember when my parents would go out for a “parent’s night out” my brothers and sisters would wait for about ten minutes after they left the house and then head right to the liquor cabinet. They would help themselves to a little bit of whatever was in there and have a party of their own. I never drank any with them, I just watched. I was too afraid of the consequences of getting caught! It’s a miracle that they never got caught. At least I don’t THINK they ever got caught!
And I guess it’s no surprise to me now that my brothers and sisters have become addicted to drugs or alcohol as adults. They just had too much fun getting high! That’s all they ever wanted to do, and it has messed up their lives pretty well. One of my sisters has had to go to drug rehab, while one of my brothers has had to go to alcohol rehab at least twice in his life.
Paula and I have talked at length about how if and when we ever got married we would not even have any alcohol in the house at all. It’s just asking for trouble!
