Pervasive Toxic Particles

I think my car is poisoning me. So I am going to test it out with this nifty invention:


Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a toxic, odorless, and tasteless gas produced by the incomplete combustion of gasoline, kerosene, natural gas, butane, propane, fuel oil, wood, coal, and other fossil fuels. Dangerous levels of CO can be produced by internal combustion engines or from any poorly vented or improperly adjusted fuel-burning appliance. Exposure to CO may cause sickness, headaches, or even death.

This Carbon Monoxide Detector can save a pilot’s life, especially when flying with the heater on, by warning of the presence of CO in the cockpit—the spot will turn gray/black when CO is in the air. The spot on the detector returns to normal color after it is exposed to fresh air.

You can use this CO-DETECTOR as your personal and portable CO detection device. With the adhesive back, stick it on the panel or dash for a semi-permanent installation, or wear it on an ID badge or on a lanyard. Uses include:

* Airplanes
* Cars
* Fuel Trucks
* Grass Cutting Equipment
* Tugs
* Campers
* And More!

Useful life is 90 days once opened.

I also bought some for my family. Hope it works.

Want to be alone in the carpool lane?

As of January 2007, ten thousand more HOV Clear Air Vehicle stickers were available through the DMV. It's June now, are there any more left?

The so-called Slobster Pen

Comment 1 (from my cousin): What are you doing with that in your bag? Isn't that what suburban housewives carry around in their bags?

Comment 2 (from a youth): Wow I haven't seen you in a long time. You look like a mom [with that hair].

Comment 3 (to my stylist after she was done with my hair): Oh my God, I look like a soccer mom. I feel like I should hop into my minivan and pick up my kids now. Can I come back at the end of the week to fix it?

I just hope this doesn't mean that I have reached the deadline on my list of things I want to accomplish. BTW, the slobster pen is great for people like me who get frequently food splatter (sauces, BBQ condiments, beverages) all over their clothes. Try it, you'll like it. But, we all know this entry was never about the pen.
