It is almost the end of the year and it would be nice to pay all our bills to balance zero and be good to the environment and our selves. Be kind to the children and the animals. I am going to make all the kids (even my grumpy teen) a gratitude journal and have [...]

I am busy working on a new invention based on Teslas science for the melting of Ice and snow. Getting the device to fit in the palm of your hand or mabey as a cellphone app. would be ideal. Right now we can barely roll it out of the garage. Lasers are the future but [...]
