There were three men around the fire, with the smell of coffee and of bacon frying. It was a two-bit camp in mighty rough country, with three saddle-broncs and a packhorse standing under a lightning-struck cottonwood. "Howdy," I said. "You boys receivin' visitors, or is this a closed meetin'?" They were all looking me over, but one said, "You're here, mister. Light and set."

Hybrid Car Review

If you like, own, or are thinking of purchasing a hybrid vehicle, you may be offended by Jeremy Clarkson's recent review of the Honda Insight.

However, if you believe that hybrid cars are but an environmental placebo that allows furry-legged women and smelly, bearded men to feel like they're doing the "green thing" and look down their collective, tree-hugging noses at the rest of us fossil-fuel-wasting Capitalists, then you may find his review humorous. I did.
