Home Again

Spent some time in Nevada, and you have to gamble, so it's time to get to work. Before I share some horse facts, I'll share a good work at home program. If you ever had dreams of becoming a writer or just like to write, you can make some money on the internet writing for others. With a basic command of the English language you can do it. www.urlfreeze.com/2kranches/internet_writing
Horse fact of the day:
* James Watt, a Scottish engineer who lived from 1736 to 1819 chosethe expression HORSEPOWER to describe the rate at which an engineworks. In order to define the power of an engine he performedexperiments using heavy dray horses. He discovered that a horsecould lift a 100 pound weight at the rate of 220 feet per minute- this equals 22,000 foot-pounds per minute. He increased thisfigure by one half (33,000 foot-pounds per minute or 550foot-pounds per second) and called it one Horsepower. 550foot-pounds per second is equivalent to an imperial unit of powerequal to 745.7 watts or the US standard equivalent of 746 watts.
Happy blogging. Ken
