Another Million...Please

A little bit chilly this morning and so I decided to give the wood stove a break and pump a little bit of forced air heat into the far reaches of the house. That would be the exact moment that the batteries on the thermostat decided that it was time to expire. OK, new batteries and now the warm air is on its way.

And it’s also time for me to make another million dollars with an invention. Same story; you use the idea and you pay me 10% of the profits. On second thought, this is pretty good, so make it 20%. As you may know, emergency vehicles usually contain a transmitter that electronically changes the traffic signals ahead of them as they travel through traffic. The traffic signals have a receiver module that switches the lights to green in the direction that the emergency vehicle is traveling. Suppose you had a receiver module in your vehicle that would also respond to such a transmitter. And when it did, it would override your radio/cd player and the message, ‘Emergency vehicle! Pull over…Emergency vehicle! Pull over!’ would be heard. Also a flashing light would signal the driver from the dash. If the radio was not in use, then the module’s own speakers would be used. Make it required equipment on all new vehicles and I think I’m rich!
