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


Good morning. I did have a cat, but it wasn’t too bad most of the time.
Congrats on the 500 and the Wordle success. Frank and Kathleen have a doctor appointment this morning, so I’ll be out.
w00t!
Good morning. Happy Monday!
We made it through the weekend. The Princess is enjoying getting The Farmer’s Dog food on top of the prescription food that she wasn’t liking too much. This new stuff is making it all worth eating. I hope it lasts, and I hope the prescription food matters.
Back on a very normal 4 train.

Good morning, and good job! Some of the words that have been used seem to be not all that much common in American usage.
Bah! Humbug! ;)
w00t!
Good Morning!
Since I took a very poor approach, I am lucky to have gotten this one in five rows...

Yes on both counts! 🤞🏻
But you made it, so good job!
(I hate when I have days like that!)
A good Monday to everyone. Frank and Kathleen are fine. I think I’ve persuaded DP to take Vlad to the DMV tomorrow morning for an upgrade of his license, but we’ll see.
I hope it works, getting DP to take him.
I went to Facebook to find a new tagline and lost 20 minutes. GAH!
Pretty good tagline. I usually say, “Death is a materialist obfuscation.”
DP said he could do it if he didn’t have something else on his calendar. I asked, “What would it take for you to know whether you have anything else on your calendar?” and he said, “I would have to look at it later,” and I went off to do laundry.
One way or another, Vlad will get his license upgrade!
Good Morning, what kind of license upgrade is it? CDL?
After the upgrade, he’ll be able to drive after 9:00 p.m. and have more than one other person under 21 in the car.
Yes, Neal Maxwell was quite in tune with spiritual matters. While he was on Iwo Jima in WWII, he promised that if he survived, he would dedicate the rest of his life to God. He did, and he did, most gracefully so.
Talk about “obfuscation...” He doesn’t know what’s on his calendar? You’d be in a real pickle if you said that! Golly. If I were there, I’d take Vlad, regardless of what was on my calendar!
So, in essence, far more dangerous than a CDL.
Well, it’s been an odd day, all things considered, so I’m heading for the Blanket Show. See all y’all tomorrow!
It’s nice of you to offer, but he has to have a parent with him. Otherwise, I could delegate to Tom and/or James and all their Hair.
I hope you have a good night. We have Cub Scouts tonight.
I hope not. Nothing major has gone wrong with Vlad’s driving so far.
