The Right Way To Spell Elliott.
Francis Butler Simkins. My namesake is my maternal grandmother's brother, Elliott Simkins (died in about 1965--I'll look it up). One of my most famous ancestors is Uncle Elliott and Granny's brother, Francis Butler Simkins. Find out more about my famous ancestor at this web site.
Biodiesel. The policies of the US government should be changed to encourage the use of alternate fuels in our automobiles. The most promising of these is Biodiesel. I own a Volkswagen Jetta TDI model, which (of course) runs on diesel fuel. An excellent presentation of the nature and benefits of Biodiesel can be cound at this Department of Energy web site. I have been very successful in filling my tank with biodiesel. See this link for a list of biodiesel retailers. The closest is Feece Oil, 1700 Hubbard Drive, Batavia, IL; 630-879-1911. This location is less than one mile from Fermilab. Another fun site on this generalt topic is the Greasel Web site, where you can modify your diesel engine to run on used vegetable oil, like from a fast-food chain!
Golf. I was the President of the Fermilab Golf League from 2000 to 2004. See this web site for info and links on the Fermilab Golf Leagues. (Note that I was denied the alias golf.fnal.gov, which would have been, IMHO, a lot nicer!)
Family, at least the ones that have web pages.
Videos I have collected some personal videos here on my video page, for your pleasure. Have a look! Well, actually, I haven't figured out how to push these files to this server yet. Stay tuned
