I must admit I've been fascinatedwith the Tesla Roadster ever since itwas first announced back in 2006. I waseven more enamored when I learnedthe reasoning behind the $100K road-
ster. The engineers at the Golden Statemanufacturer seriously wanted to givethe whole concept of the electric car amajor stimulus by proving you didn'thave to drive a boring, gutless vehicle
in an effort to go greener.March 18 the members of the Rocky
Mountain Automotive Press groupwere invited to lunch with the folksfrom Tesla and a visit to the manufac-turer's gallery on the Pearl Street Mallin Boulder. This was my first chanceto see the swift, quiet beauty and I wasevery bit as impressed as I anticipated.
Ricardo Reyes, the company's eru-dite VP of communication flew in fromCalifornia for the event.
You don't have to drive an unat-tractive car to do something positivefor the environment, Reyes said. Hecontinued to say the move to moreelectric vehicles is being driven byunpredictable oil prices plus greateracceptance of electric and alternativecars.
Tesla welcomes the new entries intothe field by Nissan, Mini and Chevy.The more electric vehicles the better,he said. The infrastructure's there andthe technology is getting better and better.They drove a roadster all theway from California to the ChicagoAuto Show, stopping at RV parks torecharge because they have the higheroutput hookups.
The concept was developed yearsago when one of the founders was
looking for a sports car you could drive
and feel no environmental guilt. In2006, there was no such vehicle. Todaywe have the Tesla Roadster.
Boulder was picked for their firstColorado retail shop because theupscale demographics of Denver's
northern neighbor fit their potentialbuyers. The gallery is there as much toeducate the public as to sell cars. It's ahigh end product but there are no vel-vet ropes, Reyes remarked. It doesn't
hurt that Denver isjust 25 minutes away- at least it is in oneof these roadsters,traffic permitting.
The car utilizes6,831 lithium ioncobalt batteries toprovide a range of240 miles. Each bat-tery is about twicethe size of a standard
AA battery. It takesabout 3.5 hours tocharge fully, depend-
ing on the power source.When you own one, you begin to
change your driving habits. You neverneed to go to a gas station, so you'llneed to obtain you're own bucket ofwindow washer and a squeegee tokeep the wind screen clean.
You'll treat it more like your cellphone or laptop - whenever you get back to your garage you simply plugit in. It will charge from a standard 110outlet or even better from an appliance220 hookup. It is by far the most effi-cient vehicle on the road, Reyes statedconfidently.
Happily my first ride in the road-ster was with Tony Longhurst of theBoulder gallery - he could confidentlydemonstrate the car's capability onthe streets of Boulder safely. The carachieves breathtaking acceleration - idleto 60 in 3.7 seconds. It has a downrightwicked cornering ability. The motormakes even less noise than the low-level of wind noise. It's the closest thingto hang-gliding on wheels, except inthe Tesla, the sun shines right on yourface.
Get up to Boulder and visit thestore sometime - these electric car evan-gelicals are spreading the gospel truthof 21st Century transportation for all
who care to listen.***

there are five days set aside for reflec-tion. Before the end of the Baktun,there is a period of reflection for fiveyears. It is used to cleanse and fortifyour path.
Miguel and the elders know exact-ly where that path leads...
To the great encounter with theFifth Sun on Dec. 21, 2012. This isimportant for all humanity. It is a newdawning a new clarity a new hori-zon and new hope for humanity.
So it would seem the Mayan visionof this new age is more in keeping
with the so-called Age of Aquarius,popularized by the Broadway musi-cal Hair and the song by the Fifth
Dimension.If thats the case then peace will
guide the planets and love will steerthe stars.
As with most of life, the true futurelies somewhere between the optimaloutcome and the worst case scenario,
but if we can take the Mayans at theirword, the winter equinox of 2012 will
bring more of the former than thelatter.
For more information on the Mayansand the village from which Miguel comesplease visit schoolcopala.ning.com/***
Don Bain
Denver Notions
Over 2,000 years ago a civiliza-tion began to emerge from the jun-gles of the Yucatan, creating cities ofstone that have survivedthe constant onslaught ofnature to undo the works
of man.The Maya emergedfrom the rainforest notonly to build pyramidsand temples, but also to establish anadvanced mathematical system anda calendar that measured the move-ment of the heavens better than any
before or since.The inaccuracy in the Mayan cal-
endar was less than 5 minutes peryear. They would have to add oneday every 292 years to correct for that
slight miscalculation. All this frompeople who had no way to measuretime, as far as we know.
The descendants of these proud,artistic and very spiritual people arestill in touch with those roots and theknowledge of the ancients. They have
guarded their culture, customs andwisdom through thousands of yearsof natures fickle attention, coloniza-tion, a viciously brutal civil war andthe reduction to refugee status formany simply to escape the violenceof that war.
Miguel Angel was in Denverrecently to share that insight anddispel the misinformation spread byHollywood and movies like 2012,which lays an erroneous predictionof doom on the Mayan Calendar. Heextends Warm greetings from all ourMayan ancestors and people.
Like approximately 200,000 of hiscountrymen and women, Miguel left
Guatemala during the war, shortly before its end. Four hundred andforty communities disappeared dur-ing the long, bloody war. Even so, theMayan culture is very much alive.
Miguel was selected to be an unof-ficial ambassador for the Maya peo-ple, of whom many have moved toCalifornia or Florida to seek safetyand a better life.
A meeting was held by the elders,mainly of the Quich region, mainlyto discuss revealing to the world thehidden knowledge of the Mayan cul-ture, Angel said. Primarily Mayanspirituality. To the elders, this knowl-
edge is the cosmic bridge which willhelp all of humanity for the next 5,000years.
He was educated in thetraditions of the Maya andlearned Spanish informal-
ly in order to communicatewith the world at large.Angel was the founder
and executive director ofMayans in Exile, a cultural group inMiami that produces radio shows inthe Mayan language about their cul-ture, traditions and belief system.
In 2002, he returned to Guatemalato meet with the elders and begin a10-year spiritual preparation for theexpiration of the 13th Baktun onDec. 21, 2012. He brings a message of
hope and great potential as the 14thBaktun unfolds in the Americas.
He told the elders of his experi-ences in the U.S. and it sparked theirinterest. They feel North Americais vital to the changes coming in thenext age.
According to Angel, we all have animportant role to play.
Still, when they asked him to fulfillhis role, he wasnt sure why he was
being asked to come here and sharethe knowledge. Now he understandsthe message he carries is very differ-ent than what is being put forth aboutdestruction and cataclysm.
With great respect and humility,there is something much better com-ing for humanity.
He was also helping to raise fundsfor schools that teach the Mayan way,preserving their culture, knowledgeand potential contributions to human-ity.
The government doesnt reallysupport the schools and the commu-nity. Because of the way the differ-ent curriculum they are being taught.It is very different. For example, theyhave a girl who can count to 1,000,000in the Mayan number system.
The anthropologists say it isunknown where the Mayan civiliza-tion originated. The Maya have theknowledge of their ancestors, theirgrandfathers and grandmothers, andtheir elders. They know because theywere visionaries who were able to seethrough the darkness.
