Spy on your home while you're away

What if you could see what was going on in your house no matter where you are? A digital camera in your burglar alarm would capture any suspicious activity and you could see it all. It’s happening, according to the Dallas Morning News. Companies are now selling digital cameras with artificial intelligence. Burglar alarms are often just nuisance calls to police. But if someone is ever really in your home, you can call police and make sure they act on it. Think about what an aid this will be to detectives. It’s a new era in digital visualization that will most likely be fairly affordable. Check out this company for more information.

AutoNation heralding fuel efficiency

AutoNation, the largest owner of new car dealerships, has come up with a great new program, whereby “green leaf” logos will be put on cars that get good fuel economy. The owner of AutoNation, Mike Jackson, knows how our dependence on oil from foreign countries is weakening our position in the world. So, he wants to encourage people to drive efficient cars. Clark is 100 percent behind him. Now, if you own a car that doesn’t get great fuel economy, don’t suddenly dump it. The gas costs are just one part of the whole picture. But when the car is on its last legs and it’s time to get a replacement, that’s when you want to buy a more economical car. You can’t control the price of gasoline, but you can control how much of it we use.

Absolutely, second-hand smoke is dangerous.
No way, that's too totalitarian.
I'm not sure.

Would you pay extra to live in a non-smoking apartment complex?
Yes.
No.
