I was born in Maryland and spent my first thirty years living there, first in the Appalachian Mountains, then on the Eastern Shore, and later in suburban Washington. After a year in South Carolina, I moved to Georgia in 1977. I soon met another park ranger who worked in Florida. She was a wonderful woman who became my best friend. then my wife, and soon the mother of our three children. I spent over eleven years working in the historic city of Savannah, Georgia, and on the moss-draped sea islands nearby before moving to Atlanta.. In 2007, I retired from the National Park Service and a career dedicated to preserving and interpreting resources and themes in the cultural and natural history of the United States. It was a most rewarding experience. Today, I enjoy living in the rolling hills and woods of the Appalachian Piedmont east of Atlanta.
The Chevy Volt is an economy car with a $40,000 price tag that will be reduced perhaps as much as $7500 with a tax payer subsidy. Even with the subsidy, you will not break even until the odometer reaches 160,000 miles. Are you laughing yet? William Katz has some painfully humorous commentary and a link to the original story posted at his blog, Urgent Agenda. Read it here.
