Remember When

The salesman forgot to mention then if you treat it right you might get 2 million miles out of it which some people did. These early Corollas were absolutely incredible cars and at the time nobody knew it. I knew a girl who drove a Honda and we made fun of her constantly. because Honda's made motorcycles not cars. Everybody called it a 'Honda car' because we all laughed at Japanese cars.

I have been driving my Corolla a lot more than I expected. I think I am now at about 2000 miles this year and 1500 of it are back and forth to doctors appointments.

Speaking of lightbulbs, I didn't know until yesterday they had regular size lightbulbs with battery backup inside for outages. Says the normal size bulb will last up to 3 hours on its battery. Didn't buy it though.

rxwine,

Does the battery recharge when power is restored? If not, I'd hate to have to disassemble the lightbulb to replace the battery 😄

I was actually wondering if the battery will last as long as the life of light.

Are you permitted to speak on the projects you worked on at Livermore. My best friend from college worked there as a computer scientist working on distributed systems for nuclear simulations.

I worked on an advanced uranium enrichment process called Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation. We vaporized metallic uranium and then passed a laser beam thorough the vapor that selectively ionized the U-235 isotope; the ions were then removed from the vapor by electric fields. I became the lead designer of the process for a few years.
