    @CHAS We've had good luck with Samsung TVs and phones. Our large TV is quite old and when I've looked at the TVs on display at Costco (where we buy this kind of stuff), I do like the picture on the LGs. When any of our TVs dies, I'll definitely consider an LG as a replacement.

    It will be interesting to see how the Oxford Street initiative works out. Any number of cities, including Chicago, have tried various flavors of shutting down a major thoroughfare to vehicle traffic. They've met with varying degrees of success. https://chi.streetsblog.org/2013/03/11/why-was-the-state-street-pedestrian-mall-a-failure

    Hope I do as well. My father had a big stroke three days after his big 90th birthday party. He died three days after that. Also not a bad way to go.

    Gun dog puppy owners fired cap pistols around newborn puppies to avoid raising dogs that feared gunfire years ago. I suppose they use something similar now.

    I can agree with all of it completely without the need to conjour empathy for a psychopath.

    I harvested all the basil because it was getting down into the 40s and it wasn’t going to last much longer. But the parsley is lush, still going great guns (how can I use it all?) Rosemary, sage and tarragon still fine.

    Ironically, the insurance companies haven’t figured out how to give you a safety discount for having such a high tech marvel that is auto breaking.

    @ShiroKuro Pull up the covers, SK. Sleep. It’s the best watch to get past this. It will all be over before you know it!

    I'm getting lost in time and space reading that website. LOL! I need to get some work done here! I might just have to get a copy of his book.

    A month ago, according to rumor "news" Toyota was bringing an EV with a battery that would charge quickly and be good for over 600 miles to market. A couple of days ago, the "news" was that Toyota will produce an AREV (advance range electric vehicle), battery powered, but with a small motor running a generator to charge the batteries. General Motors early EV was electric with a small motor generator, but they were poorly made and caught fire too often from what I read. Many locomotives are electrical with diesel powered generators and have been for years.
