They used to call them service stations. Today, I’m not sure a person can find one. We used to drive into a service station and out an attendant would come running. We’d say fill it up and the attendant would go into action.

He’d start the gas, lift the hood, check the radiator, oil and battery. He’d close the hood and clean the windshield. Most likely the young man was still in high school and did odd jobs and clean up around the station when there were no customers.

Maybe it wasn’t that important of a job but it gave the kids a chance to build a work ethic. By the way, he could also build up a little cash for that all important weekend date.

The cost of gas got rid of attendants. We pump our own gas now. But it wasn’t just the gas but the minimum wage too. Can you imagine paying an attendant now. Hence, the job went away as many others like them.

Those smaller jobs that were good for teenagers to break into the labor market have become ever more rare.

Some might actually like that. I’m not going to say if that is good or bad. I’ll let you you make up your mind. Just figured I would call it to your attention.

For those who believe the seas are rising, convince me by moving off the shorelines, like Gore, Biden and Obama. Convince me by building seawalls as in NY, NY and Maryland. Why aren’t we moving our government buildings away from the sea or make big seawalls to protect them. It seems, according to Gore, DC should already be under 5 to 10 feet of flooding.

Maybe someone, somebody might convince me that it is believed, really believed, by pumping ocean water into salt lakes that are drying up… or for that matter, into new salt lakes, creating resorts out of deserts.

If you truly believe in man made climate change, why do we still have drive through restaurants, banks and myriad other things? Why are they permitted? Why do people driving big SUVs and pickups use them? Every minute they wait in lines results in enormous amounts of undesirable gases out into the urban and suburban atmosphere.

What on earth gave anyone the idea to transport half the students of a city to the other, knowing the fuel it would use and the atmospheric warming it would cause? Then again, that had to be done you know. The school systems and the urban areas had to be destroyed, you see. It was the highly successful method of driving the wealthy and whites out of the center city areas. Which, by the way, left only the Blacks and the poor behind. And, by the way, totally destroyed public education.

It would seem you can only destroy the earth if you have a D after your name and you are rich and/or powerful. They do pretty much what they want when they want. Maybe that is why they seek to be be rich and powerful.

If Old Joe and his State Department had stayed out of it, the Israelis-HAMAS war would have been over weeks ago. Every time Israel starts getting the upper hand, Old Joe says something to encourage HAMAS. I’m really trying to figure out if that is dumb or stupid. Just perhaps it’s both.

Then again, keeping the war going is his desire. He certainly cares very little about the loss of life on either side. He does seem to be encouraging both.

Something all EV cars need is a trailer with an auxiliary battery as an an option. It could add 50 to 75% to the range. Then the auxiliary battery could conceivably be charged at the same time as the car’s battery. This effectively almost doubles the charging rate.

It’s very expensive. Would anyone buy them. Some might buy 2, maybe 3. Maybe not. Maybe it at least rates some marketing research.

One thing I do know is that I am limited to about 80 mile trips as it is. Maybe 150, 160 with such a trailer. One way trips, I’m talking almost 400 miles.

As an side thought, the batteries could be built and added in modules so it wouldn’t hit the old pocket book all at once.

And I don’t mean matching pants and jacket.

Normally, I am not a fan of lawsuits. In general those that benefit most are the baristers.

A teacher in Davidson County School System decided Christian McGhee needed to be suspended for the use of one little term, illegal alien. And apparently those in charge of the school agreed with the judgment as he was indeed suspended.

When I first heard the story, I said aloud that I would get me a layer so fast…. Well, the parents did.

I can’t believe but the school district will lose this one. The term is legal one in the federal law. Just because the dems want to say it is racist doesn’t make it so. In addition, the term is still in the dictionary. And I hope they sue the teacher too. Really she should know better. Apparently the teachers need to be better taught.

Well, if it were up to me, I would certainly make sure she would learn it now. She would get a stinging financial reminder.

Saw a story on the news. They interviewed a young lady who was graduating, no ceremony. I wish I had paid better attention as they said the college and I paid no attention. It was one of those up north where they were rioting. Notice I didn’t use the dem’s term, demonstrating and I won’t.

The hitch was that she didn’t have a high school grad. ceremony either cause of the China virus.

I genuinely felt bad for the girl and I am sure there are many others. They were bitten by democrat policy twice. They will not have photos and they’ll not have the memories.

I also genuinely hope they learn from the experience. Next time they go into a voting booth, I trust they will remember what the dems did to them and they vote Republican, or at least they don’t vote Democrat. If they don’t learn from it, we might all be looking forward to many bad experiences. Many will be far more important than a graduation ceremony.

Just heard over the radio that Memphis was reporting on the internet about 90 murders so far this year. However, when the police chief was asked, she said 125.

First, what number is right?

Second, has anyone updated the internet?

Third, was the underreporting intended? By whom?

Finally, if intentional, why? Just what did they try to hide?

Well, the secret is out and the police chief and staff have the proverbial, figurative black eyes. Moreover, if this was not caught, it might lead to underfund the police. Well, actually the 90 would not be something to brag about.

Well, it’s exactly what a person should expect from dems.

1910, the Boy Scouts of America was founded. It took about a century for girls to force their way in. Now, there is no longer a Boy Scouts of America. Sad.

However, their is still a Girl Scouts. I wonder how that works. Those who know something of electronics know exactly what I mean when I say, sort of like diodes. They work one way only. They are designed to function that way.

The dems keep trying to imprison President Trump. The one who truly deserves incarceration is Old Joe for, among other things, providing aid and comfort to the enemy. If it was a declared war, he’d be shot, after a very short trial, of course.
