    At today's prices it would be .0002000 of a gallon. Two-one-thousands. Hey, if they are selling it that way, you should be able to buy it that way, rounded to the nearest whole penny. Because of the 9/10ths they will make an extra 10% on the sale in profit, so they should do it all day!

    Why are gas prices set to 9/10th of a penny when we don't even mint pennies anymore? What if you asked for 9/10ths of a pennies worth of gas? Are they really selling it with that incremental specificity?

    Lady cyclist killed in Davis involving juvenile on ebike...on the bike path.

    Do we have green goals? There are floods and fires and hurricanes with record weather every week. We face unprecedented Record weather/climate instability extremes every week due to fossil fuel codependence leading to global warming. If people can take a kid to a local school on an low impact...

    I might get a Talaria after all, just so I can make the rounds visiting my wives.

    It would be weird for the city to resell impounded 4Kw motorcycles to parents of teens. I wonder where they go.

    Lady cyclist killed in Davis involving juvenile on ebike...on the bike path.

    Speed zones would be automatic along with peek use tax such as London at rush hour. Here the cops sit the kid on the curb and make them call mom or dad to come and pick them up. And the bike goes in a city pickup truck. I do not know what happens to the emotorcycle next. The kid needs to show...

    Yes, if you have a 2,000 acre ranch you can visit each of your wifes noiselessly without waking up all the kids, saying 'Daddy'!

    A guy called yesterday asked if I could fix the brakes on his bike. It is a Talaria motorcycle without pedals. I told him that it is not a bicycle, not an eBike, it is a motorcycle, and he needs to take it to a motorcycle shop. The fact is no one will touch it. Poison.

    Signs of Spring

    I think it is chick-lit. And that is okay. I read it all. It is okay to know about the female mind.

    It it 89F at 4:30. The air smells of blosombs. I will go read a book that takes place mostly in libraries, in the shade with my shoes off. It's 579 pages about academic daemons, vampires, and witches with high-tech laboratories and a high-tension romance. There might be a sexual genetic cross of...

    Signs of Spring

    My fig went from this to this in five days. The stick with the hole is 10mm across and 18 inches long. By the end of summer it will be 6'5" tall and wide.

    Signs of Spring

    Hi Honey. I am going out for a gallon of milk and the dozen eggs we need. See you in 20 minutes. But I don't have any pedals or a rack with panniers. I will swing the plastic bags off the handlebars. And pretend that I have pedals, by kicking the crank arms. The price is right. That's the best part.

    Decided to run my ebikes on solar

    With fish and chips on newsprint. But newsprint is so rare now, maybe served on your laptop. Cocktail Sauce with Fish & Chips is so much better than mayo based whippy slime.
