What are the strips attached to the bottom of a rear car bumper?
Q. I've seen some cars with a strip hanging from the rear bumper just enough to touch the ground and it has a triangle attached to it. I've always wondered what it's for.

A. The actual hold up on this barbaric rape of the American people is that the American people refuse to go silently into that long night of poverty and virtual slavery just to bail out the mega-wealthy corporate criminals who created this mess. They are getting angrier by the day. More and more of them are letting their elected representatives know that a vote in the Congress for this so-called "bailout" is a vote for them being voted out of office as soon as election time comes around. The rich get richer while hardworking Americans have less and less in their lives.

What does a flashing red light attached to the side of a building indicate?
Q. Leaving work I noticed a red light flashing on the side of the building near the door. The fire alarm/security alarm was not going off, I even disarmed it to see if the light would stop flashing but it did not. The light looks like it was built into the building rather than being attached after it was built. It seems like its some sort of standard thing but I don't know what it means.

A. It could mean anything, so it's probably best to check with your security team. One thing that comes to mind is that it could indicate a door is open. In the basement of my building there is a lot of cart traffic, including golf carts that are used to move stuff around. One of the offices that has a door into that hallway has a light above it, so when the door is opened the light flashes, and anyone coming by will know that someone is coming out of that door so they can be careful not to run them over. The light near the door of your building may serve a similar purpose.
