No Talk , No Text , No Burr............

.....itos. Yes, no burritos while driving. In California , on 405 and 101 highways , a food truck called the ' Screaming Burrito ' sells food while moving. The truck sends out a basket on a pole to take the money and sends back the food. I think this action , normally , occurs between Hermosa and LA ( I think , and I'm not sure of the hwy # s ). The California Highway Patrol is on the look out for Screaming B but apparently the yellow truck is very sneaky. So , no CHiPs and burritos.
The truck and customer drive parallel for about 90 sec as the food is prepared. The basket exchange occurs and the truck and car separate.

A study has found  the US has 88.8 guns per 100 people and 10 gun deaths per 1000. The number of guns is double the next most guns per person. Canada came in at 33 guns pp.

Good stuff: 1. Microbe powered batteries. A scientist has found a system to use waste water and microbes to generate electron flow. Right now the interface uses silver and is very expensive. The microbes clean the waste water almost to the point where the water is potable.
2. forgot.   9 / 21 now. A new use for cilantro or coriander. In water contaminated by heavy metals a mixture of cilantro , will absorb the metal contaminants. In many parts of the world metal contamination threatens the population.

Weather is warm - maybe 74 F to-day , with rain falling in bursts

P.S. Remember the news generally comes via headphones at night listening in bed. So , forgetting is likely.
