1. Drive an electric vehicle … or at least a hybrid - maybe like this battery powered truck:
2. Harness raw animal power if you can. Sure your vehicle is horse powered but why not add some dog power too?
3. The last solution to combat the high price of gas is to use good ol’ mother nature to power your car and ride like the wind my friend.
Got any more interesting alternative to gas ideas?
After leading a police chase that went on at 115 miles per hour and tossing beer cans out his window, William Joseph Galloway wrecked his pickup truck. After he wrecked his truck the man took another swig of beer and gave the deputies who’d been chasing him the middle finger.
According to the authorities Galloway told them he was going to die fighting and swinging, however the use of a taser put that threat to an end.
Galloway of Winter Park is now being held on $8,000 bail in the St. Johns County jail. He’s been charged with driving under the influence, driving with a suspended or revoked license, aggravated fleeing, attempting to elude and resisting arrest without violence. No one was hurt.
The chase began about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday when a Florida Highway Patrol trooper began following a pickup truck with no headlights heading north on Interstate 95 in Flagler County. Troopers and deputies watched the driver throw beer cans from his truck as he weaved through traffic at high speeds in heavy rain. The truck eventually spun off the road and crashed into a tree.
“The suspect rolled down his window and drank from a beer can while displaying his middle finger in defiance,” the report said.
When Galloway would not get out of the truck and started to reach for his glove box, a deputy fired a 15-second Taser stun gun burst, the report said.
Galloway told deputies he would have fought them all if he had not been jolted with the Taser, the report said.
Galloway passed out several times after telling officers he had been taking methamphetamine and drinking alcohol all day, the report said.
Why do a lot of these type of stories happen in Florida?
Thousands of bees escaped when a truck that was carrying their hives ran off the highway and overturned near a Montana community.
One State trooper, Dell Aman, stated that he’d been stung twice, but he didn’t think anyone else was injured.
“The public was in no way in danger, as long as they didn’t stop to get out of their vehicles,” he said. “If they did get out, they figured out pretty quickly that that wasn’t the place to be — no pun intended.”
The truck had been traveling from North Dakota to California when it veered into a ditch along interstate 94 just at the exit for Huntley. The driver of the truck wasn’t injured in the accident, but he was cited for alleged careless driving.
The truck had been carrying 465 beehives which amounted to nearly 13.7 million bees!
Luckily most of the bees behaved and stayed in their hives but a few thousand got loose.
Once the weather cooled in the evening the bees returned to their hives.
Good thing this didn’t happen in the middle of a city! I’d imagine more people might have been stung if it had.
You are in My World
