The Damage Done - OFFICIALLY UPDATED

UPDATE: Archives Guy reports:

Hello Rusties,

There is much speculation about the fire yesterday, mostly based on internet news reports.

Here are some facts.

1-despite the damage, most everything of real value survived.
2-the archives are safe and not there.
3-some video and film was onsite and is ok.
4- Lincvolt was parked over night there and did not fare well in the fire.
5-no precious guitars were on site.
6- I foresee a yard sale in our future and imagine that you will hear abut it thru me or other official channels.
7- everyone is ok

We thank you for your ongoing support and kind thoughts at this time.

Thanks AG. All in all, aside from #4, this sounds much better than we feared.

courage, our friends, courage...

From Mileage Quest | Your Mileage May Vary - for the better:

Neil, Team Lincvolt;

You've lit a candle for where we're going. Absolutely no pun intended. You've opened eyes and minds and caused many to think differently about powering our vehicles. You have demonstrated there is indeed something ahead worth looking for.

We learn from it all -- even this.

Thanks Randy.

Laura Marling, 'The Needle And The Damage Done' by Tim Chester NME

Don't ask us why, but somehow this cover of Neil Young's "The Needle And The Damage Done" by Laura Marling seems to feel right just about now.

Produced by Jack White, of the White Stripes, this is helping a bit given yesterday's fire at Neil Young's warehouse.

in so many words, can YOU tell ME why?
