Some local news from around the U.S.

I went to replace a cable TV remote at Cablevision for my landlady, and all the 'Channel 12' local news cars were hybrids, Prius I think. The Sierra Club awhile ago had people adopt a Ford dealership, asking them to write and ask them to do better (my Dad had a red showroom Pinto m.p.g. Pony 5 speed, went 250,000 miles) and they've recently announced they are with the new Ford Explorer hybrid SUV, an approval I guess, not an endorsement. Jimi Hendrix's boyhood home was saved from the wrecking ball by a millionaire (over $1 million) and moved to just outside the cemetery where he reposes, now in new rainbow columns, created by his step-sister and heirs. His natural brother is still fighting over the estate his father Al Hendrix managed I reckon.
