EV runs out of juice, pushed by coal miners
DC tourist ran out of battery in the middle of a remote West Virginia road on Friday, near a coal mine on Mettiki Coal access road U.S. 48, a few miles outside of Davis, according to WTRF.
From FaceBook:
Randy Smith on Friday Some days are just better than others. Today at our mine off Corridor H an electric car from DC ran out of battery at the road entrance to the mine. Someone called one of our foreman and told him a car was broke down in the middle of our haul road. He went to investigate and found out they had indeed ran out of juice coming from DC to Davis for a get away weekend. He then went back to the mine and got guys to push the car to the guard shack so they could plug in to charge. ... See more
Thanks! It’s just one more move of a great many in my life. Most are for good reasons/causes, and this one is no different in that respect.
We had the same storms early this morning, but they weren’t severe enough to wake me up. This apartment doesn’t allow for the sound of rain on the roof, which I thoroughly enjoy, but the ground was still wet when I went out for yesterday’s mail.
Good job on the Wordle!
Thanks for all of the above! Ditto you, as I’ve followed you to the ME and back and you never left my prayer list.
Excellent on the Wordle!
Looks like most of us bombed out on the first word. Crazy!
Erm ...
When I went to El Paso, it took a while for me to acclimate to the drier climate. But when I returned here to Pogoland, it took ten times as long.
Breathing water is not the same as breathing air.
This is very true!
If it were just my lungs, it would be no contest, but the joints (most especially the hand joints) that seem to have taken the brunt of the moisture in the air. I spent over 35 years in a desert climate, between Tucson and Las Vegas Valley (not to mention growing up in High Desert Country) so my body is not happy.
I think the lack of altitude here has some play in it, as well. :o|
I’m running the vacuum in spite of the cats’ opinion. I’m sure they’ll get even.
Maybe your native planet had more background radiation too, but I would still recommend staying away from Denver.
Yeah, Denver’s not an option, though my Favorite Daughter and her husband swear by it. They’re about 90 minutes from there. Didn’t like their airport, for sure.
I prefer the Other Side of the Rockies, thanks!
Ohdear. That doesn’t bode well for the future.

Bode’s Law doesn’t work any more. We’re all subject to Murphy’s Law.
Merciless though it may be, it’s quite reliable, in a negative way.
Cats don’t like vacuum cleaners because they compete in the “making a racket” department.
I guess they get along with Roombas because they’re quieter.
There was so much Tom and James hair.
I can’t tell you how many vacuums we’ve gone through because the operator never cleaned out the hair around the roller.
The hairbros are supposed to do that.
There is a town just north of the one I grew up in where folklore stated that if you drank the water while you were visiting there, you would end up pregnant.
One of my childhood friends swore that it was true, but I always just drove through the town without stopping!
I don’t trust either Law. Newton’s Law, well, I’m always checking to make sure it’s still in effect.
I don’t think I would have taken any chances either.
Having had long hair for most of my life, I’ve always been very aware of how the hair can bind up the brush roller in a vacuum. Nothing I hate worse than having to cut the hair off it because I wasn’t paying attention!
A single solar system is hardly sufficient to draw such a universal conclusion anyway.
Bode was as in error as one could mathematically be.
Well, I was never good at math, so I couldn’t have proved or disproved his theory.
I’m glad someone did, because now, I don’t have to wonder!
