-- Quote of the Day --  "There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will."  ~ Epictetus  -- no electricity…no fossil fuels – but drive your car anyway!-- Toyota Industries Corp ., one of the Toyota Group companies, announced that the members of " Yume no Kuruma Kobo ," or " Dream Car Factory, " have developed a compressed air-powered car.
