Epilog:

Those who look forward to the return of urban rail transit, take heart! Next year (2012) the northern Spanish Principality of Asturias will place in service the world’s first hydrolley—a wireless, fuel cell hybrid tram or streetcar power by hydrogen fuel cells with regenerative braking.

My prediction: This will change everything! It cuts about US$10 million per mile from the cost of urban rail construction and eliminates tacky electric superstructure that clutters cityscapes and tends to prevent trees from lining beautiful urban streets.

Visit the University of North Carolina (Appalachian State U) web site, Http://www.hydrail.org and and also Google the word “hydrolley”. Hydrogen streetcars are way over due, US$7 million PER MILE is an unreasonable surcharge to pay to hang onto a 120-year-old technology a little bit longer.

Not having hydrolleys as an option puts an enormous drag on the return of urban rail and community design based on it. Electric tram superstructure has long outlived is useful working lifeas a new systems alternative.

Hi Wren,

I found your blog when I found you on Ravelry. There aren’t too many Wrens in B. Thank you for your kind words about our friend. I didn’t think before about how well you would know him. But, of course you do. He was our pal even last summer.

I sent you the e-mail about his registration when I was still on anesthesia from a procedure I had done last week. It came off rougher than I meant it.

I am glad you will be at our school again next year and that we can chat this summer.

Megan

I don’t know what either of us will do. I’m really depressed about it. Especially considering I’m the only one who interacts with him every day at school who can reliably understand everything he tries to say and not just words here and there. And can interpret and use the weird quasi ASL he uses (that he’s modified a lot for himself).

Being laid off is pretty much the worst.
