Gunner this is article about the soy car is interesting. The electrical
utility that I am retiring from at the end of the month has started using
deep fryer fats mixed into the diesel to fuel the trucks, it is working
well. It has changed our business dramatically, we have really had to change
our employees response at the end of the job from just thanking the customer
for their patience to asking " Would you like fries with that?". It might
be interesting if our bill collectors start using the bio diesel mix, they
could change from saying "thank you for your payment" to " Would you like to
BIGGY that?"

My job as provincial Cable Systems manager will be posted shortly, beware
for me it turned out to be a 12 hour a day for 7.5 hours pay and no time off
in the last two years to speak of. A degree in EE with high voltage
transmission and submarine cable experience would be a good start for anyone
interested. BC Hydro will assist with relocation as well as immigration for
the right person.

Any questions or information for any of the positions should go through the
website.

0 to 60 in 4 seconds? Sounds improbable to me!

Looks unlikely according to the list here too. They would be out
accelerating a Dodge Viper to do that.
