How many walls could we hav e built?  How many EV charging stations could have been built?  I have a FB friend that lives in the D.C. area.  He took a trip by car to go see the eclipse. On his way back he had stopped near one of Musk's charging stations. He said one was out of order the other were full and cars were lined up waiting. EV's are not serious vehicles for traveling yet. Around town and back and forth to work, maybe.

Don't want to totally hijack Becky's wonderful story, but.....

My wife has a problem with dizziness and balance. Today is our 53rd anniversary so we went out for breakfast.  It's a local place we go to frequently.  As she got up from the booth we were she lost her balance and was headed down. She always screams, which certainly got everyone's attention. Luckily I was both watching and close enough to catch her by the arm and keep her upright.

Next Wednesday she will have a reverse shoulder replacement on her right shoulder. This will be her fifth joint replacement surgery.  Her shoulder has gotten so bad at this point that I get to a lot of things she cannot. I'm good at many things at this point. There will be many more things I'll get to do as she recovers.

There have been times when I couldn't catch her and she goes down. Fortunately she has not had any serious injuries.

If it's Covid, Paxlovid....

100% totality for around 4 minutes. It was pretty damn cool.

Yes, my outdoor temp went down 4-5 degrees.

Government allows vaccines to be rushed to market, vaccine turns out to not be effective and/or has a lot of negative side effects, said government is footing the bill for vaccines and is attempting, through coercion, to mandate them.  One wonders why said government wants to suppress negative information.

Was he gay and needed to shower?

Nope

It could be natural. I had a manager that had a white streak in his hair.
