Q. I'm passing through Texas and it seems like El Paso will be the most convenient place to stay. I've heard tons of bad stuff about the crime there.
Is it unwise to stay at a cheaper hotel there for a night by myself? (Also, this close to 4th of July)
@1st reply
I didn't ask how safe it was, I was thinking more about property crime and auto theft.

A. Don't stay in El Paso, drive another 40 miles and stay in Las Cruces. If you are going on down I10 turn on Avenida De Mesilla, there's a La Quinta, Best Western, and a Springhill Suites. There are cheaper motels (god no! Don't stay at one of these in El Paso!), on main street and motel blvd. If you happen to be going north on I25 there are hotels at the I25/ hwy 70 interchange. Cheaper ones - Go up hwy 70 a block or so and there is a Super 8.
How do you make a 80s model El Camino look like a 60s model?
Q. I just bought a 1980 El Camino and I hate the front clip and the shape of the headlights and the taillights. I was wondering if there is a way to make the car look more like a 60s model?
A. You find a 60's model of El Camino and sell the one you hate so much you bought it anyway.
What causes both the El Nino and La Nina phenomenon , that causes unbalanced heating of the oceans?
Q. Please help!
Thanks! The effects of the La Nina and El Nino phenomenons are becoming worse over the last couple of years, causing extremely intense thunderstorms in many areas across the Tropics .

A. Prior to Hubble's discovery of the distant galaxies redshift, Einstein was once asked if he believes the universe is expanding or contracting. He answered: "I don't know. All I know is that it is not static. Nothing is static in the universe!" ... Wise words from a wise man!
Likewise, everything on earth goes in cycles, sometimes called: oscillations. The El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is one of them. But there are many of them and they are all interactive. There is no special "reason" for El Nino to happen, other than ... fluids oscillate by nature. Take for example, the tide. The sea level moves up and down with the cycle of the moon. But did you know that in the tide, there are many, many cycles? Some of them repeat itself only once every four and half year, creating a spring tide higher than the average spring tide.
It is the same with the thermohaline circulation, a.k.a. the oceanic conveyor belt. It mixes all the oceans of the world in a period of perhaps a thousand year. The El Nino is part of that sea current oscillation.
To understand that we need to leave traditional mathematics for that of the theory of chaos and fractal equations. Here is an example: The wind blows over the Sahara desert, moving randomly sand corns. It is impossible to predict where they will land, there are too many factors. This is known as the Butterfly Effect. Yet, all those sand corns form dunes that are in a very defined shape, all having the same slope angle.
Likewise, our weather changes all the time but we can see global patterns, like El Nino or the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). But there is no reason to believe the "El Nino is getting worse." You will always find doomsday prophets that will tell you that "the end is near" and yes, we should reduce our emission of carbon dioxide but ... the problem is that good news is no news so we read only the bad effects. Did you know that more people die from cold than heat? So, a global warming is not only negative.
