The funniest thread you'll read all morning.....

Ben Sasse is reportedly leaving the Senate to become President of the University of Florida. There are 4 years left in his term.

We could definitely find something similar on the offspring of the defeated former guy. Plus a few possession of cocaine charges on a couple as well.

I was out with the dog one night last week. Saw this object across the sky, it was the SpaceX Starlink watch. It was very visible along the east coast, especially with it's tail (that's what caught my eye). Very cool

It's still on youtube, I like this live version

They have a name for the winners in the world. I want one when I lose. They call Alabama “Crimson Tide” Call me Honolulu Blue

From Earnest Tubb to Conway Twitty to Jack White, not to mention a legendary solo career. Truly a country music icon

Yea, but remember to the current group of the GQP all Democrats are the spawn of Satan

Very cool story.....

Corporate speak. What do you expect him to say from a good PR standpoint?

I find the biggest ones around here have had the luxury of a shipyard job with lifetime union benefits. Yet badmouth unions and the government responsible for most of their employment.

I've always found that ironic. The significance is lost on those who bear the plate. They're proud of being a-holes.

Red Sky at night. Sailor's delight.... We had similar shades here around Sunset....lots of rain in the forecast for the weekend.

Remember, DeSantis voted against federal aid for NJ when they had a Republican Gov. Just send them a jumbo pack of paper towels

Now down by 2 TD in the 7th. Still a good run for these guys

More details on the ratings https://centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/articles/notes-on-the-state-of-politics-sept-28-2022/ Earlier this summer, in what was a somewhat surprising dynamic, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, the Democratic nominee in the state’s closely-watched Senate contest, often polled better than Shapiro (although both were ahead in their respective races). In more recent polling, Shapiro generally seems to be the better-performing Democrat: in a Marist poll released yesterday, Shapiro leads Mastriano 53%-40%, while Fetterman leads his opponent, television doctor Mehmet Oz (R), by a slightly lesser 51%-41% margin. On Monday, a poll from Insider Advantage showed a wider gap: that firm had Fetterman up by just 3, but Shapiro was up by 15. The higher-stakes nature of the Senate race may be contributing to that movement: with the chamber split 50-50, Senate control could well hinge on the Pennsylvania result, and the parties are spending accordingly. When asked about potential plans to spend in the Pennsylvania gubernatorial race, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, who co-chairs the Republican Governors Association, replied “We don’t fund lost causes and we don’t fund landslides.” Reading between the lines, we’d guess that Mastriano’s contest, from the GOP perspective, falls into the former category. Since Dixon emerged as the GOP nominee, we have seen few indications that she has made headway against Whitmer. According to FiveThirtyEight’s poll database, the only recent survey that showed the race within single-digits was from the GOP-leaning Trafalgar Group. As with Shapiro, ad spending has been heavily slanted in Whitmer’s favor: according to AdImpact, the Whitmer campaign and pro-Democratic groups have outspent conservative forces by more than 8-to-1.

Very pleased with our RAV4 Hybrid getting 40 plus MPG. We're in no hurry to upgrade. That factored with the probability we'll be a one car couple within the next year or so anyway.

Let's pray he keeps his mouth shut as well...

I am starting to see a few businesses set up charging stations for customers. Not just 2 or 3 stations but in some cases a portion of their parking lot. I know DTW has had a couple of spaces in both garages for several years. I'm not sure what their policy is/was for long term usage. But I can see some sort of arrangement with grocery chains, restaurants, etc. even if it's a for pay charging spot. Much like the hourly parking rates/apps

I'll throw this here. The proposal in Va for stations located mostly along interstates. https://www.virginiamercury.com/2022/09/21/what-virginia-wants-to-do-with-100-million-in-electric-vehicle-charging-money/ I figure we're still a few years away from being fully vested in buying into electric vehicles. I am interested to see how the experiments in SE Michigan with "electric" roads. Stretches of highway or city streets that will charge your vehicle. I think Ford is developing a project near the old train station and Michigan has entered into agreement with a firm doing something similar.
