Peanut's blog

A friend of mine sent me this webpage. I don't think it would be the greatest page for little kids. I guess best to ask your parents.

It has information on haunted places in Minnesota. Even one about Hutchinson.

I found this story on Kstp interesting with 19 accidents since December when it was put in. I think there should be a tv show or video or something to show people how to drive these. In england you take your driver's training on some rotaries (roundabouts). Here people just don't know how to operate on them.

I think it's a good thing, I see it wasteful money and unsafe anyways.

A county plan for a roundabout and intersection realignment on McLeod County Road 9 in Lester Prairie was derailed Tuesday by the McLeod County Rail Authority. Full story-

After driving today on airport road. I realized this road needs a 4 way light system. Should be stoplights at airport and hwy 15. Stoplights at airport and jefferson. Stoplights at airport and hwy 22. I don't care about traffic flow, safety is more important. Even reducing the speed would make a big difference. 35-40 mph would be plenty fast on airport road. Theres alot of people that walk/jog and ride bike on it. I was driving the speed limit and I was getting passed like I was sitting still. I have driven every single Minnesota's top 10 worst roads.

Today I was in Richfield, MN shopping and seen they sell bio-diesel there. $1.17 per gallon. I'll have to drive there more often. Been sometime that I filled the tank on only 21 dollars. They have some good stores there I like. There isn't many places around here to buy decent fishing tackle. I like going to places like cabela's.

Today I got a book on bio-diesel. Too learn how to convert my car to run on vegetable oil, or peanut oil. I may try this coming spring. Some of my friends that are already running vegetable oil in their cars say they get better mileage. About 2-4 mpg better then on diesel. If that's true, I should get 55 mpg highway. Or 797.5 miles per tank. Hopefully I can set it up so that during winter I can start the engine and run it on diesel til it warms up then switch over to vegetable oil. The vegetable oil tank will be in the hatchback where it should warm up and stay warm.
