Diesel fumes can affect your brain, scientists say

Inhaling diesel exhaust triggers a stress response in the brain that may have damaging long-term effects on brain function, Dutch researchers said on Tuesday.

"It is concievable that the long-term effects of exposure........may interfere with normal brain function and information processing."

Further research is needed to determine the clinical effect of this stress and whether it has any long-term impact on verbal and non-verbal intelligence or memory abilities.



Gotta tell you, this and seeing diesel fuel at the Sunoco this morning @ $ 4.159 make me want to run right down and buy one. The stress deal could explain some cranky and out of sorts behavior.

Could come in handy in a traffic stop...."Well Officer, the last I remember I was going 55, I just can't seem to remember when that was. Officer, could you just give me a little break here, you know it is a diesel."

That kills me, diesel fuel is like one refinery step above crude oil. Why in the world diesel fuel should cost more than gasoline is beyond my comprehension abilities.

Well $4.159 yesterday is old news, Sunoco here went to $4.239 this morning, gas here is now at $3.39.

No word from HBW yet, I'll see if I can find out something this afternoon.

Got my vote, your in the lead.

thanks....keep it going!

looking across the channel to Wolfe Island and back at the SW end of Carlton...
it seems boating season is right around the corner!!

By mid-day tomorrow we will have ridden 300 miles this week right in Jefferson County.
The riding has been fantastic everywhere.
Took a 10 mile blast down the Indian River while we were over Theresa way Tuesday.
That brought back fond memories of living right there with the river out back and having a 160HP 800 triple...
Rode right into the Cape and parked in the Village Green and ate lunch at Aubrey's across the street on Monday.
Both Mon. and Tues. were sunny all day with high temps in the upper 20*'s, and warm sun. Just beautiful.
Paul came down and rode with us yesterday...
Playing in some hedgerow drifts.
She missed all the "standing straight up in a cloud of powder "shots.

Tied up again, I'm holding out for a team name. And to be the tie breaker.

Governor............

Senator..... even the bling matches.........
