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


I write science fiction, Argee.
I have to come up with original ideas. Of course, if I were smart, I would patent my ideas.
There is nothing more peaceful than a sleeping cat.
Good morning.
I hope you slept well.
I’ll be going to breakfast with Pam and then to Dollar Tree. Then I’ll come home and play dead.
Good morning, and not bad. I hope you enjoy your breakfast and Dollar Tree. I have to pick up the van from the mechanic and go to PT, and then I have a phone call with Steve. So busy all morning, and then a long list of stuff left from yesterday.
That List From Yesterday will get you every time!
Sounds like a very busy day for you, but at least you’ll have the van back.
Please give Steve my regards and let him know he’s in my prayers.
Good morning, Epople!
I was running out of road, here. Some days, they just don’t come easy.

It’s 41° out and the high for the day will be a whopping 60°. Brr-r-r-r!
It’s warm here, 71 in the house. I sent two emails that were on yesterday’s list!
I’m going to go take a shower and then come and turn the moon back on. There are more gloomy days ahead. It’s winter in the “south.” Worse winters than in Utah, as far as I can tell.
The warm bathroom is calling me!
Good morning. Happy Humph Day!
Another day, another $.75 (thanks to inflation).
Kitteh can rest easy with someone to stand guard.
Back to the fours for me today.

...Another day, another $.75 (thanks to inflation)...
I was just going to ask if you had gotten a raise!
Good job on the Foursie! (There was a five and dime store in our town when I was growing up and the name was Forsey's. So half the time, I'm saying four-zees and the other half, it's four-cees. My brems.)
Go figger.
I am sure that you have good reasons!
In today’s economy, only eroding the value of my paycheck by 25% can be considered a raise.
Good Morning!
Yes, it was “great,” I too was running out of road...

Your grid looks almost like a building I saw in NYC. One more green square in the middle of the third row and you’d have it!
But you did it, and that’s what counts!
Yeah, I get it.
I enjoy the moon in the pre-dawn hours here.
Yes, I like the symmetrical builds when they occur...
Good morning and Happy 🐪 Day!
Still warm here. Friday and Saturday are forecasted to be our first chilly days of fall with highs of 65°. We’ll be back in the 80s next week, though.
I’m still hanging out on the four train.

We are supposed to have some rain on those chilly weekend days...
Yep, it’s looking like Friday will be pretty wet. I only have one errand to run that day, so I can stay in most of the day and do fun things like vacuuming and mopping.
Saturday is supposed to be sunny with a high of 65°. Good day to get out and go to the farmers’ market and other places.
