I could not find serpentine belt idler rollers in stock at any of the five
VW dealers in the greater Cincinnati area.

My wife is in San Jose, hopefully flying home this weekend, and Bob Lewis

has the rollers, but I'm reluctant to ask Kathy to try to carry them on
board. They are about the size of a hockey puck, and I can just imagine

trying to explain why she's carrying them on board to airport security
personnel.

Steve at europarts-sd.com has them in stock (says he sells a lot of them)
and could ship them UPS, which will take at least a week under the best of
circumstances.

So.......I've been idling the van in the driveway for the last HOUR, and

fans are kicking on and off, and the fuel pump is pumping, and the

is firing. I turned it off and cranked it again......the starter was
STRONG. Looks like an EV can easily run a full hour on battery power

and still have enough battery left to crank the starter, and that's plenty
for me, so I'm calling Steve and will wait a week or so.

Meanwhile, I guess I find out what it's like to own an "electric car" with

limited range that has to be recharged every night!

My experience with "the bad gauge" was that when it malfunctioned,
it indicated Cold. If the gauge indicates Hot, heed it.

My experience was just the opposite. The first clue I had that my
first attempt at the voltage regulator fix didn't work was that the
temp gauge began to read hot. Once I did the fix again, the temp
gauge stayed right in the middle.

Voltage Regulator fix:



BTW, instead of reusing the screw, I put a micro bolt through the
hole in the VR, through the hole in the cluster case (which had
cracks around it), and secured it from the back with a nut and
LockTite. The intent was to prevent the VR and the metal heat sink
from vibrating and ruining the contacts. So far so good.

Terror's awful logic

Column by Michael Kelly

(former reporter for The Cincinnati Post, is now editor of
the Atlantic Monthly.)

This is the end logic of terror. The long age of imperialism bequeathed to
this century a world full of questions of who wronged whom, and who stole
whose land, and what should be done. Those questions, far from finding
resolution in the half-peace of the Cold War's aftermath, roil ever more.
Absent the relative stability imposed by the war of the giants, the
grievances of those upon whom the giants acted out their territorial
ambitions have much more room to grow.

In theory, this is not a bad thing. But there are two great problems. The
first is that, in the end, the whole world was stolen from somebody, most

it repeatedly; there are

claims and counterclaims and counter-counterclaims for every inch of the
planet that is desirable and for much that is not. The second is that

(and the governments they form) do not like to give back what they have
acquired, whether that acquisition is of dubious morality or not.

So, those with territorial claims turn to force. But here arises a third
problem: By and large, the aggrieved do not possess the force necessary to
win their way in open battle. Given this, a common response has been the

of terror: attacks by the aggrieved not on the soldiers of the enemy, but

the people of the enemy - on innocent victims.

Given that this is murder, you would think that terrorism would have a

time finding adherents. But tribalism is a powerful corrupting force, and

is ideology, and an awful quality of modern times has been the degree to
which terror by various movements has been accepted as legitimate by those
who support the goals of those movements.

Communism found no difficulty persuading generations on the left that

on the most massive scale was justified by the need to free the world from
the yoke of capitalistic imperialism. Irish-Americans have almost
monolithically supported the IRA in its decades of bombings and killings
aimed at scaring the British out of Northern Ireland. And so it goes, case
by tribal or ideological case, around the world.

the clearest thing i have done is to drop "blame" and ultimate judgment
from my paradigm of "how to navigate the world in a positive manner".
these labels are a moral club we use to try and smite others (and
sometimes ourselves)
meanwhile:
i have an awful reaction to the work "horrific".
it is parroted endlessly and i suspect all who use it.
