Several interesting articles in this morning's Denver Post


The first one that got our attention was about a new concept in delivering drinks to your table, via 'electric train'. The original is in Prague, where Carol and I enjoyed it last fall. Carol had a bottled water for $1.50 (American) and my LARGE Czech (great) beer was $.80. FAST service as you order from a terminal at your table.



A model freight train carries a beverage to costumers in a restaurant in Prague, Czech Republic, Wednesday, April 19, 2017. In three Czech restaurants, model freight trains arrive at your table and stop right in front of you with your your order of drinks. 
PRAGUE — Having been tested successfully on beer-loving Czechs, the beer train is heading for the United States and China.
Just imagine: you order a pint of beer, or even a cool glass of orange juice, and your drink is served by a model freight train arriving at your table.
Then there was an article on the Prieto Battery development at CSU in Ft Collins, where they have invented a battery that is small, flexible, non-flammable, enviro- friendly, cheap to produce that charges twice as fast and holds a charge 3-5 times longer AND has a longer lifespan than a I-phone battery. More Colorado tech.
Wow, think there's any market for that?
 Basic batteries are thin layers that exchange electrons, but this is a 3-D configuration, think sponge-like with interlocking fibers. Black and Decker has first dibs, cuz they financed the research, but other applications should be available in the next couple of years. Wow, maybe investable?

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
