Thanks to all of you who noticed that you had not heard from me for about a year and checked in to see if something was wrong. Nope. Just needed a break. There was a combination of burn out (pandemic related) and life getting too busy for a while. But here I am again to keep you informed on so…
Maybe you noticed that you haven’t heard from me for a while. As I had mentioned, we went on a vacation and had a great time. And I took a vacation from writing this blog as well. Now I’m back and will try to get into the groove again of putting these together but it is summer…so probably won’t be…

Happy Mother’s Day to you all. I hope you get a chance to celebrate the Moms in your life.

The pace of transformation continues to accelerate exponentially. The issues of range, charging times and cost are rapidly being conquered and after a few initial articles on other topics I will…
First let me wish a happy Passover or Easter if you celebrate either one. After two seder dinners I’m certainly going to have to be more restrained this week in my eating. As I ate plenty I reflected on how my direct relatives thousands of years ago were slaves and had to rely on others for food and manna from…
Going Faster in Both Directions Going Faster in Both Directions Once again it’s been a few weeks since I sent you my report on what’s going on. Busy with grandsons and traveling. But the news and the message is pretty much the same. The climate gets hotter. The weather gets worse. Both, faster and faster and more quickly…
Sonny and Cher: The beat goes on (HQ Version) – YouTube Enjoy some music as you read today. For newer readers, some of what I am going to cover today may be new to you.

To start off today I want to share with you some information that may be of great interest to you or someone you know. Many of you know that my wife Debbie has asthma.
