Lucky
Look at the first picture above and you can see where this guy broke through the guard rail (right side where the people are standing on the road).  His  truck left the road, traveling from right to  left . He flipped end-over-end, across the culvert outlet and landed on the left side of it. Â
Now look at the 2nd  picture below. Click to enlarge.

Instead of spending $1200 to fix the A/C in his car, he bolts a residential window unit to the roof
HOUSTON Â –Â Scott Dawson, a civil engineering graduate from the University of Houston, decided after three years of driving around Houston without air conditioning in his car was long enough. So instead of spending $1,200 to fix the air conditioning on a car he planned on getting rid of soon, he bolted a home window A/C unit to the roof and wired it to the car.

Google Addresses Blackle
Reducing climate change by saving energy is an important effort we should all join, and that’s why we’re very glad to see the innovative thinking going into a variety of solutions.
One idea, suggested by the site called “Blackle” (which is not related to Google, by the way, though the site does use our custom search engine), is to reduce energy used by monitors by providing search with a black background.
We applaud the spirit of the idea, but our own analysis as well as that of others shows that making the Google homepage black will not reduce energy consumption.
To the contrary, on flat-panel monitors (already estimated to be 75% of the market), displaying black may actually increase energy usage. Detailed results from a new study confirm this.
