Question about car air intake design

Folks,

Have you notice that, when we stop at the red traffic light the location of our cars' air intake is about 12 inches from the exhaust pipe of the car infront of you?
That can't be good right? Of a planet that has quite a few billion brains, there has to be a better design, ...right?

Things to do: insect drum

Spring is here.

On a warm night.
... say, 10pm when the world around you is quieter.
Turn off the air-conditioning.
Turn off your TV or any sound or noise making devices.
Turn off the lights in the house.
Close the room door.

Wait 5 minutes... and then turn on the the light in your room only.

And now listen.

You will start hearing lots of insects start to playing the drum against your window glass.

All the light seekers, of different sizes will make different sound for your enjoyment, just because you paused and listen.

Music of Amos Lee

This is a self titled album of the artist.
Folk-soul music... but more like music that are purified and simplify so that the verse becomes the more important part of the songs.

To me this is an amazing album that speaks to all the folks that are going somewhere, but at the moment working hard even struggling to get there. It is not a sad album but an album that is describing the real life struggle and thoughts that usually occured after work at 6:00pm at a bar somewhere.

Lee's music is so beautiful because they are not corrupted with commercialization, in short it's gold, just like Bloody Sunday with U2, Sometimes with Britney Spears and Like a Virgin with Madonna.
I am not saying that Amos Lee is going to hit it big like U2, Britney or Madonna, but I am listening to his music more than any other CDs that I have since 30 days ago.

"... a thousand miles from the place I was born,
but when she wakes me she takes me back home." from arms of a woman.

And yes, for an imigrant like me who is about 5000 miles from home, it hits a spot... then again, I realized that almost everyone in America are imigrants from another states.

Who should buy this album?
Worker bees. Go getter. Dreamer with a goal. People who does not feel sorry about themselve, but will be reaching their goal one day... of all ages.

Who should not buy this album?
Souless pigs. Rich folks who need to hire someone to help them spent money.

Check it out yourself. This is just my confuse little thoughts.

ConfuseUs?

ConfuseUs? Well, it’s a given nickname from the friends that I worked with. It is part because of how confusing my ideas could be and part because of my heritage.
I am not saying that I am even near as wise as Confucius was, but I am quite sure that I could be as confusing as him sometimes.

Hello.

This will be a place where I will give a little bit of myself from my slightly used brain to everyone else. I will mostly post about food, music, photography, architecture and even chess, but it could cover the whole spectrum of life. I hope I am not a bore when it's said and done.
