Nice day for a daytrippen adventure to Ken Seiling Museum and the adjoining Pioneer Village. Little did I know there was a crew of movie producers filming a ...well ... nobody would tell me what it was. But the filming was maybe, and possibly, a documentary.

On many occasions, we will travel behind a classic or vintage car, and the stink that comes off it from the exhaust is horrendous. Now, as an automotive technician and a classic car enthusiast, I know the reason why; however, that's not really my point.

I worry about the polluted air we breathe, and it's not necessarily the odd classic car you see or smell, because many of us were brought up with these stinking things and never thought much of it. But today seems to be different. Question: Is the air we breathe getting heavier, so that we all notice it more? Or is it my imagination, and these nice-looking classics are all running a little rich?

Peanut Butter And Gas *** If you like peanut butter as I do, listen up. In 1900, Rudolf Diesel invented the Diesel engine. At the time, Diesel envisioned that the agricultural communities (farmers) would produce their own fuel to burn in their tractors. To prove his theory, he ran his engine on 'peanut oil' at the World’s Fair in Paris. Peanuts create gas, and gas will burn. Since I love peanut butter, "that explains everything," by Flippen Canadian. Check out my article on "Long Lost Alternative Fuels." 🔗
