We started with two. Yes, they are light, and not enormous (finally, something not Supersized and wasteful…). We loved them. Got two more. They are perfect for almost everything, watching TV in cold family room (they warm you right up) and supplementing cover on the bed (no extra weight but plenty of comfy warmth). Got two more. They were supposed to be for gifts. They went onto the closed porch and worked just as well as the other four. Will probably keep buying them until they are gone! Read the rest of this entry

The city of San Francisco has developed a brilliant strategy to try to slow traffic. They want to change the color of the street, a beautiful black color Frappachino Starbucks Mocha. And you probably think it's a joke, but it is not. You are welcome to search the Internet and see for yourself. Apparently, they were psychological studies which show the people will settle down when driving on slippery Brown Nice.

Now, I'm not sure it works, itsounds like a wacky topic and something that people of San Francisco could come up with when they are sitting there, drinking their coffee, looking out the window of Starbucks in the world go by, but he did shows a fairly good idea. Why not paint the streets a Starbucks White Mocha flavor Frappachino "a much lighter color beige or purple?

The lighter color would reduce the urban heat in the region, and with good cooling would reduce the ambient temperatures ranging fromheat from the road during the day. By lowering the temperature of all roads, less warm air rising to catch the prevailing winds, and warm the atmosphere like a breath on earth.

This would avoid the areas around major cities warming. And if all cities did this maybe we could stop "Global Warming" is, of course, if you buy into the theory of global warming in the first place.

If you think you want a better idea why not go upStarbucks and put a little caffeine in the brain of yours and let us know. You may as well get those neurons firing again, and use that spirit of yours to solve some of these problems. Please consider this.
