Yes, first things first. I live about 20 miles from Worcester, Massachusetts which at this moment is officially the snowiest city of 100,000 or more in the whole United States. They are looking at damn near 100 inches of the stuff. That's more than Buffalo, ferchrisssake!
The biggest topic around here is the ice dams that form at the edge of our roofs that let water back up and send little rivulets of snow melts down our walls and across our ceilings.
The roads are too narrow for more than one car to pass at a time and there is so much snow at the intersections, you can't see who is coming unless you stick the nose of your car WAAAY out, which leads to a lot of horn blowing and frequent exchanges of the Italian salute!
Fortunately, the bride and I will be sailing near the town of Provicenciales, far, far away from our native Providence, next week and thinking rude thoughts about the poor people back home who can't afford to get away from the snow hell of 2015. One expects this type of weather up in the frozen tundra of Canadia, but not here in the cradle of civilization as we know it!
Any way, what were we talking about? Oh, yes, graphene. I only know what I read but I am following the search for the "God Battery" pretty closely and graphene is the word that trips lightly off the lips of many who are spending vast amount of government dollars in the quest. It's supposed to be the key to the 200 mile affordable electric car. Or a Tesla Model S that scorches to 60 in 1.1 seconds!
We'll see," said the Zen master.
