Grandma Drove the Snowplow
When a blizzard hits town on the night of the big Carol Sing winter celebration, Grandma must drive a snowplow after her sons get stuck in the snow.

The redoubtable Grandma-this books is a sequel to Grandma Drove the Garbage Truck-is at it again. In addition to collecting the town's garbage, Grandma and her sons also plow the roads in the winter. But what happens when a blizzard comes through, it's the day of the big town carol sing, and Grandma's sons are all stuck in the snow and unable to plow? Leave it to Grandma to clear the way to the church for the carol sing. With more help from her grandson Billy, she gets the streets clear and helps out her neighbors in the process, too. In fact, Grandma does such a good job with the plowing, she even beats Santa to the carol sing.

Chicago, New York to Make Snow Plow Locations Live During Storms

Mayors of both Chicago and New York said Tuesday they’d be making the locations of snow plows public during winter storms via public websites that will show GPS tracking information.

While the idea of a snowplow tracker isn’t new — it exists in  Montgomery County and  Howard County , Maryland, just to name a couple — New York and Chicago would be the first major cities to deploy this technology.

Mayor Bloomberg hit once of the lowest moments of his mayoralty last winter when New York ground to a halt during the blizzard of 2010. It was particularly frustrating for outer-borough residents when streets outside of Manhattan went unplowed for days (while the Mayor recommended they take in a Broadway show.)

Also galling: city officials were increasingly unable to tell members of the public (or even elected officials) when streets would be cleared.

In an information vacuum , WNYC developed a plowed street tracker , based on crowd-sourced information. Later, Mayor Bloomberg promised to add GPS to all snow plows. But that information wasn’t made available to the public. Yet.

HHO Gas Generator Kits – How to Turn Your Car Into a Water Burning ...

by vancetodd

Plow he needed his tractor to run on water to cut his diesel bill or he would never turn a profit this year.

My nosy neighbor had snuck up on me a few months back when I had my head under the hood of the car and my posterior ( I am a woman) in a most compromising position. He claims he was just coming over to see if I was in any kind of trouble and I told him nope, I was just finishing installing my home built hydrogen generator.

He laughed at my silliness and walked away. A few weeks later, gas prices hit an all time high. He was back to take a closer look at the device I had built myself for under $65 and over the course of a single weekend to see if I had actually succeeded in turning my car into a water burning hybrid.

Had I ever! I had increased my gas mileage by 25%, and that was with a pretty basic model and no other changes to the car.

He took a look around and asked if he could borrow the book I used to build the thing, said he wanted to make sure it was safe and all, but I know what he was really after.

Two months later he has a hydrogen generator on his tractor and a big ol’ smile on his face. He even brought me some of his famous vegetables as a thank you.

It is easy to turn your car into a water burning hybrid. You see, water contains a ton of energy if you can just get at it. Pure hydrogen is one thing, what we are creating is something entirely different.

Through electrolysis, our hydrogen generator can produce a gas known as HHO, or brown’s gas that contains about three times the energy than an equivalent amount of standard gasoline.

When you combine the two, which is completely safe to do, you increase the overall efficiency of the combustion process thus increasing gas mileage.

Big oil and the government do not want you to know about this and why would they? If you can build your own hydrogen generator and cut your gas bills by 25-50%, they are going to lose a lot of money.
