Watts up with ZEV2Go?
So far, owner Anthony Watts isn't talking.
I have questions about Watts's electric car business ZEV2Go; but in the last three working days, two phone messages to his business - including one in which I requested that he tell me so, if he doesn't want to answer questions about this business - have not been returned.
Aug. 6 Update:
10 days ago Mr. Watts sent me an email informing me that he didn't intend to answer my questions via email or by phone & that he was sending me a "letter" in which he would address the questions I posed on my blog. [Confidential to Anthony: we're not in the 1900s anymore...]
As of yesterday morning, at least, the letter had still not arrived.
I asked further questions via email; to my knowledge, they haven't been answered either.
These fellows do show an odd aversion to using email.

Keene campaign finance oddity? - a Watts offshoot
Updates, not terribly interesting:
On Mon. the 14th, Keene campaign consultant Cliff Wagner reported that "This [failure to report the Keene for Senate's Chico campaign office in-kind contribution] was an oversight and we are presently filing an amendment to our report with the FPPC"; delays ensued; now on Thurs. the 24th, the information has emerged that it was an in-kind donation by (landlord) Don Rogers Jr., valued at $950/month for two months.
That is all...
-------------
Original post:
(Caveats -
I'm a campaign finance research novice, and am posting this in part with the hope that someone more skilled will point out what I've overlooked. And the timing of this post is suboptimal, since the election was yesterday and Mr. Keene did not win (link).)

It turns out that the same Chico strip-mall-type building that houses Anthony Watts's electric car business ZEV2Go also houses the "Rick Keene For Senate 2010" campaign office. But the Keene campaign office occupancy can't be discerned - by me at least - from the committee's campaign finance reports, in either the expenditures or the nonmonetary contributions.

Encounter with Anthony Watts, side two
June 23 update: Tamino's "Watts encounter" post - wherein commenters came to realize that they'd been had - has been removed due to a complaint by Nevada County's Mr. Greg Goodknight; see Tamino's post Silence (a diatribe, GG says) for the story.
------------------
Original post:
Yesterday I met climate inactivist Anthony Watts, at his main business in Chico. Mr. Watts wrote about my visit (negatively); based on Watts's account, Tamino concurred with him; and once I'd learned of Watts's post, I explained in the comments of Tamino's (now-deleted) post, saying:

A question for Anthony Watts, but no help yet in getting it answered
I'd like to add Chico-based climate inactivist Anthony Watts's academic background to his SourceWatch and Wikipedia pages, but Watts was unwilling to provide this information. So I left a comment over at Russ Steele's blog, noting that his blog displayed Watts's "World Climate Widget" and asking if he could help get this information; but my comment was deemed off topic and deleted, and Russ said in email that he does not know and is not willing to help find out.
So, if anyone knows when and where Anthony Watts got his academic training in climate science and/or meteorology, could you please share this information?
