    Try not to look too hard or long over the railing on those boats ...

    Show Us a Tool

    A motorcycle riding friend claimed to have been hit in the chest by a chicken that took off right beside the road. He said he didn't quite fall off or even drop the bike, but it left a beauty of a bruse, I guess.

    That time seems long overdue, TBH.

    I actually saw one in the wild on a one lane back road by the New York /Canadian border. When they run they look like something from Dr. Suess ... totally goofy and uncoordinated. But I am sure they can be a danger if you are on a bike instead of in a van.

    Yeah. Pay out bounties for killing them out in Texas and Arkansas, at least they did once. Tough animals I've been told, too.

    How far north approximately? Moose terrain?

    I am in the "rent a big van for long trips" camp now. Preferably a hybrid. I won't fly unless absolutely necessary, and trains are few and far between. I wouldn't want to drive some huge van or truck daily, but several times a year for Interstate trips is OK.

    Avatar change?

    As with many political things, the fact that they loudly declare something as absolutely true usually means it's really not true. No real genius would ever claim the title "Genius"... and no one who is actually very stable assumes they will stay that way long. Too much chaos for that, resilient...

    That fits well with what I know about intercity car use cases. It might well apply to longer trips on major interstates where chargers are available (or soon will be) but not for state highways and country roads, not during my lifetime anyway.

    Wild boars have names? Must be pretty well adapted to suburban life ... over here they have a reputation as more dangerous than bears or cougars!

    Lov Lovely ride, Rab. Can you tell us about the "Kelpies"? I've never seen the term before...

    The transition

    Indeed think of the power of water lifting and floating a huge ship or other great weight then that weight turning a huge generator when the level recedes ... every day at low tide.

    The transition

    The tech is moving very fast, but ICE cars and trucks (and the industries that depend on them) have a 100 year headstart. Even if the auto executives spent half that century snoozing away in their offices there's a lot of development to do on EVs and especially on EV infrastructure that's...
