Rome thrives on outdoor life. Naturally, it is obvious that Rome has a lot of museums, restaurants as well as churches, theaters and many other kinds of indoor activates. But the places to see Rome really shine are the many piazzas.

In Italian, the word “piazza” means public square. Rome’s piazzas are distinctive from other famous international cities because in every way public squares are where citizens and tourists alike gather to admire a wide variety of outdoor art.

Probably the finest location of Bernini’s “Fountain of the Four Rivers” can be found at Navona. Four striking sculptures that Bernini’s students executed are artistically arranged around a rocky mass at the center of the fountain which holds up an obelisk. One of those stunning sculptures named “the Ganges” was created by Claude Poussin who went on to become a well known master as well.

The Fountain of the Four Rivers is a classic Roman fountain that seems alive with a rich diversity of life from a cactus to palm trees to sea monsters and dozens of wonderful pieces all mixed together artfully around the unifying column in the middle.

When this fountain was created, it was so expensive that Rome actually put taxes on bread to fund the work. This resulted in loud complaints from every level of Roman society. That scandal is now part of the lore of this artwork to enhance the fun of relaxing and enjoying a coffee as the bustling metropolis goes by.

If gas cost $10 a gallon would you rather use water to fuel your car? Gas has not reached that price yet but it could and probably will do exactly that one day.

Oil supplies are being used up even while demand is growing around the world. We are rapidly approaching a time when the oil that can be pumped out of the ground is less than the world’s demand for oil. When that day arrives you might think that $10 for a gallon of gasoline would be cheap.

We should be looking for alternative fuel and energy supplies now. The whole world should treat this like a battle where we all pull together and do whatever we have to do to achieve success. We must all start trying to use less oil and gas in any way we can.

I remember my teacher telling me that water was made of oxygen and hydrogen. I never could understand how that made a liquid but I do know hydrogen is a very powerful fuel and could be used as an alternative to gas.

Now hobbyists and engineers have developed easy to build systems that can make hydrogen gas from water. The gas can then be used as part of the fuel used to run your car engine.

All you have to do is buy a few parts which are easily available at hardware stores and you can assemble the kit in your garage and fit it to your car. It is said to only take a few hours to complete this.
