So I started the new job this week and it’s great. I love being part of a small team and the location is great. Among other things I’m writing on DieselForecast and HydrogenForecast. I’m actually looking forward to work everyday which is a great feeling. Bookmark It Hide Sites $$(‘div.d549′).each( function(e) { e.visualEffect(‘slide_up’,{duration:0.5}) }); On the way home today from my last day at the old job, as I was passing the Hyundai Tech Center I noticed a red-tailed hawk having lunch so I pulled into the driveway and grabbed my camera. I approached raptor slowly, snapping pics as I went.
