While walking to the bus stop, you notice a Camry with a partial radiator block. On closer examination, you notice that instead of the usual plastic sheet blocking the radiator vents, it had a window screen-like material. (Something about the screen letting air through at low speeds but behaving like a solid sheet at high speeds?)

On the bus, you notice a small green light light up on the dash whenever the bus slows down, along with a telltale inverter squeal. Then you realize that it is one of those hybrid buses.

While talking to an Aggie "poor campers" group (they camped outside like the homeless did for two and a half days to raise awareness about the poor), you mention about how Americans need to get their priorities straight, such as by driving efficiently and giving some of the money saved that way to the poor. Then you get really excited when one of the members mentions the name "Jennie Chen"...
