This project allowed drivers to replace the rechargable batteries in "about one minute", reducing wasted time (such as at gas stations). The trial project allowed the industry to test out the logistics of changing over to electric power and the financial impact of switching over the entire fleet. This exciting test project may just influence the world's leading taxi services to switch over to electric powered vehicles ...

-- Chatter -- Today, Dave & I went up to one of our favorite surrounding mountains to walk along a shady trail we found near one very small man-made lake. While there we stumbled upon some of the most beautiful trail scenes that we have witnessed in some time. Tall green, wispy grass with straight and strong stems of daisy flowers everywhere. Surrounding this is a mixed evergreen forest with a few deciduous as well. It was so lush and shady we hardly noticed the heat. Unfortunately I was driven nearly insane by a few very persistent horseflies - which I happen to have a hate on for. You see, certain insects actually make me ill, and fly bites are one of them. So here I am flailing with my arms, alternating with sprays of water from my bottle (reuseable of course)... great fun. And it was very hot - but here we found this amazing shady, lush spot - so random, so beautiful... it was really a memory making moment. Dave has been training the dogs to go for a pee while traveling without...
