“…And you’re driving down the highway and you’ll see a sign — charging station, with an arrow, 89 miles to the right. These people are crazy.” Yeah, thank goodness I never have that problem with a gas vehicle!

Saw this cute little Mazda 1200 two-door wagon on my walk this morning. I think it’s from 1970.

I’ve had one of these for a couple of years. Pretty decent and rugged and they have better support than the off-brands

We’re repeatedly told that only private industry can do things efficiently, but it’s good to see that a quasi-public CEO can still pull themselves up by the bootstraps and somehow find meaningful work in the private sector… and not just a job screwing together phones.

Funny, I looked at the inventory of a local dealer two day ago. Any discounts listed on their site are now gone… so guess the answer is today with things just getting worse.
