The art of making a fully electric 1959 Volkswagen Beetle

Paused at a stoplight, my passenger and I look over at a Smart ForTwo idling next to us, and I make the universal finger-rolling motion of, “Wanna race?” The driver ignores us. But when the light goes green, the guy stomps on the gas and the tiny city car scoots forward with a faint squeal of the...

An easy Way to Exercise

email from JKS Weerasekera

Subject: A Great Way to Exercise
 EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 60 AND YOUNGER


Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at
each side.

With a  5-lb potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from
your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full
minute, and then relax.

Each day you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer.

After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato bags. Then try 50-lb potato
bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag  in
each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. (I'm at
this level).

After you feel confident at that level,



 put a potato  in each bag.
