Writer's Block: It’s about to get hairy

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I used to like having facial hair, in my end-of-teens into my twenties, but once my follicles there got tougher and tougher to manage, I value having a clean-shaven face--as hard as it is to get there.

Vegas Fallout--Idea?

Okay, I'm sure all my readers know what happened Sunday afternoon in Las Vegas.

My thought: Driver protection in Indy and F1 cars. Even if a full safety cage is inpracticable for such machines, why not a simple safety bar that would fold down over the driver from the engine's air intake area and latch at the windshield? The lock/unlock mechanism would be the steering wheel. (The steering wheels in these cars are quick-removeable anyway and it would take little to make this technology work in this manner.)
