EVs & Cold

Posted in Electectric vehicles by

Took the almost Nissan Ariya out in the cold for the first time. Also, there was 7 in of snow. I must admit, I was impressed. Drove about 5 or 6 miles with no slippage, though I was driving very conservatively.

Because heating is by heatpump, heat was immediate, though not great. The heated seats helped a lot. The cabin is well insulted, so once it’s heated, it doesn’t take a lot to keep it warm.

If I must come up with a suggestion, it would be to improve the defrosting system. Then again, I will likely say that about most any car. If it was up to me, I would add a small electric defrosting element to them all. Then again, I don’t design them. I only drive them… for about the last 60 yrs.

Oh yes. One more note. Until the cabin is warm, the heating will consume about 1/4 to 1/3 of the power. Then again, I suspect that is normal for most EVs. The bigger the cabin, naturally, the more it will require for heating. My car does have a pretty large cabin.

Frank it Down

Posted in Advertising by

Just a Little question. Is anyone else ready for the frank it up commercial to go the way of the do-do bird. Actually, I was ready for it to disappear before it appeared.

Personally I don’t like spicy foods. No amount of advertising would ever gain my interest. Some folks just really know how to go about irritating me, and maybe others.

However, regardless of how many times I see the commercial, I can’t see the point of it. I mean, really, what does frank it up mean.

The Greatest Fear of Every Abortionists (or His Cohorts)

In itself, the sonogram machine are not a threat to the pro-abortionists. However, a law requiring them before abortions would likely cut abortions by 50 percent. Moreover, the women will feel better knowing that they kept their babies.

Most importantly, it would save lives. That scares those who make a living killing children. They might actually have to start practicing real medicine.

Gambling & Sports

Posted in Cheating, Crime, Gambling by

It’s a bad mix. By itself gambling is bad enough, but when it gets mixed in with sports…

I have been watching the Philly game, which seems horribly one sided. Of course gambling has nothing to do with it. Still, given how gambling is so wide open these days, it does make me wonder. I imagine others wonder too. After a while that gets to a point, perhaps especially should Philly come back and win.

Talking About Global Warming

  1. While the Mid-south may soon be setting record lows.
  2. While Buffalo and Steelers are having difficulty getting the teams to the stadium, let alone fans.
  3. We can’t get our voters to our caucuses due record cold.
  4. Did I mention we just might have up to 7 inches of snow in Desoto County this evening. Not a record but I think we need to go back to around 1977 or so to find anything close to it.

Did I mention I don’t like cold.

Did I Say I Don’t Like Cold

The wife and I stepped out a little to eat and get a few groceries. Did I mention it was already cold and, according to the weatherman, the cold has not really arrived yet.

Just don’t like cold. In a way, it’s odd, cold is not a form of energy. It is rather the lack of heat.

So that’s the problem. It is not the cold moving into the Midsouth, but the fact that so much heat will be leaving.

Somehow, that don’t help the chills in my old bones.

Does Anybody Care

Posted in Uncategorized by

A while ago, there was a writing prompt about long life. I was flippant. I said it sounds like a good idea to me.

I thought it over. Those children who are aborted, killed, don’t live long. It has made me wonder, “Does anybody care?”
