Biodiesel in PDX, Portland, Oregon


On our way to the coast, we filled up on 99.9% biodiesel in my friend's Volkswagon Jetta. I'm converted.

I have an older Toyota Camry–which is a great car–but I have to buy g-a-s (if I write the word, they seem to thing that we want that advertising her, and it could not be further from the truth) to support jerks.No more…

I will shortly sell me Camry, go without a car until I can create enough revenue to buy a Biodiesel Vehicle! I will write about the difficulties (or liberation) at Biopipeline.info of not having a vehicle, and why we must support these sources.There is one obvious reason: Would you rather support dictatorships (Iran, Venezuala, Saudia Arabia) that hate us or the American farmer (or farmers of any country)?

I think that is a rather easy deciscion to make, and I will make it now myself.So, over the next weeks, months, I will show the process that I will go through to sell my car, go without, and attempt to get a biodiesel vehicle.

Did I mention he gets 45 miles per gallon?!!!!  'Posted

Paypal Scammers – be careful of this

I recently recieved this email:

“Dear PayPal®member

Unfortunately the update procedure failed because some of the information you provided was incorrect.

Please take 5-10 minutes out of your online experience and update your personal records.

The address was services@ipaypal.com

This is a fradulent company When you click on their link, you will be asked for your bank and credit info.

I have been using paypal since it's inception in 99 or 2000. PAYPAL does not do this!

Be aware, as these are thieves. If you get this or anything like this, always call Paypal or forward the email to spoof@paypal.com

Sorry to bother, just trying to inform.

Best, PDXPIPELINE

Follow Up from Paypal when I sent it to the spoof@paypal.com

“Thank you for writing to PayPal regarding the email message you received
that appeared to be from eBay.

There is a lot more…but you get the gist – please be careful and stop these a-holes!

LAST FOLLOW-UP:

I put this on Digg to get it out there…Digg is awesome and one of the greatest companies to come out of this “Web 2.0″ revolution. Whether you “digg” the story or not, you will likely find the website very handy..
