I'm here in the Pacific Northwest in a geodesic dome with radiant heat in the quarry tile floor. Take my word when I say a wood stove is as dirty as a dog. Beemer? I've got a '58 Beetle, '61 Type II panel van, '64 Type III Notchback (admittdly close to the 1600cc BMW 2002), and I'm driving a '72 Squareback. all: Dubya's oil isn't the answer. Ballard Engineeering or Dean Kamen at DEKA show the way. THE TURN OF THE CENTURY There'll be flying boats, condo's with moats cultivated oceans, floating cities in the sky living underneath our bubbles, no more toil and troubles singing about that sweet old by and by We'll all have lots of money that we won't have to spend You'll be given everthing when everyone's your friend hanging out together, picture perfect weather this time round the party never ends We won't have no tv preachers to ask how much we gave We won't need no tv preachers, see by then we'll all be saved No more fighting for our country, no child will go hungry we'll be smiling from the cradle to the grave hallelulia I can't wait to see it, hallelulia come and go with me let me show you just how great life's going to be at the turn, turn of the century. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band hippies...
