Wrong again, C-Less...

The buoyancy of the gas makes it easier to get over the 12-foot snow
drifts we deal with every August.

And with refueling igloos every section along the grid roads, well,
it's a beaut of a system, eh?

Has anyone investigated whether Romney had any failures during this
rise in wealth?

Somewhere else I read A123 was going to be taken over by Johnson Controls,
so the "bankruptcy" is probably a way to stiff some investors. In
addition, this "trick" prevents a Chinese takeover (Wanxian Group).
Google this string (a way to get around the subscription only requirement)
then read the WSJ article :
"A123 Scraps China Deal and Will Sell Car Assets to Johnson Controls"

Amen, Hoser. I've seen the light. (It's somewhere above that horrid
hazy fog you call "air" up there.)

Uh, somehow, I don't think those will catch on, especially during the
wonderful wintry weather up there in the Great White North, Baldy.
Ayup, somehow, I think that's the last straw. <gd&wvvf>
