I finally saw Who Killed the Electric Car?, my sight-unseen choice for Best Documentary of 2006. It was actually better than I expected. I thought, like too many documentaries these days, it would have its share of one-sided conspiracy theories. Sure, it does have David Freeman (an energy advisor for the Carter Administration) spitting out…

Every so often when I have the time, the weather is right, and I don’t have to haul anything too big to fit in my backpack, I’ll ride my bike instead of driving. As you might guess from my criteria above, I don’t do it very often. And Kelly weighs 35 pounds, so after 4 or 5 (flat) miles, my legs are quaking. At most, the choice to take a bike instead of a car saves me 50 cents in gasoline.

But I do feel very proud of myself for biking instead of driving.
