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’m sure he’s a good driver. Driving after 9 and with others in the car still is more dangerous than driving alone and before 9.
But I survived doing both many times. I’m sure Vlad will, too.
He probably won’t be doing both very often. Driving after 9 means he can go to Your Local Game Store for Magic: The Gathering without a driver to bring him home at 10:30 or so. And driving more than one other youth means that he can pick up a couple of other high school kids for science team meetings (in the daytime) if necessary.
I just wanted you to know that I watched about two-and-a-half hours of the funeral procession as well as most of the funeral of the Queen. (Delayed, on YouTube, but still...)
I was amazed to see how broken King Charles was when the coffin was lowered into the vault. Over the years, I thought his relationship with his mother was stormy, so the obvious grief took me by surprise.
It was a lovely tribute to a monarch who was steadfast and in touch with the people. It was a hard job, but she did it well.
May she rest in peace.
Good morning. Happy Twosday!
It was a bit stormy here yesterday. The sky screamed at the dog a lot in the afternoon, so much that she almost didn’t eat her 4:00 meal. But by 5:00 she had gathered up her courage and ate.
Another one rides the (4) bus.

Poor dog. It’s Tiw’s Day here, too. DP will take Vlad to the DMV for the hopefully pro-forma license upgrade. Then DP will go to the office, being almost there already, and Vlad will come home. I will go to Weight Watchers.
Kitteh is getting his tuxedo all dirty!
Good morning. Did you sleep well?
I started to but people had other plans. Unngh. As a result, I slept in. So now, I’ve got the S-L-O-W-S.
Hauʻoli Pōʻalua to you! Good for Vlad, getting the upgrade on his license.
I don’t know what lies in store for me today, except maybe to take out the trash.
The gal that cleans and decorates the laundry room sent me a text last night. She said, “I love smelling the room after you’ve done your laundry.” I love smelling the room while I’m doing my laundry! So I had to tell her was soap it was and that I got online. That made the Monday a little better.
Having a cooler, drier house made it much better.
Sorry about The Dog getting yelled at, ArGee. I must be very upsetting for her.
Today’s effort. If I had gone with the word I first thought of I could have had it in two. Ohwell. I’ll take a Triplet.

Now I’m going to eat something and go get dressed so I can start my day. For what it’s worth!
Good Morning!

Ahh, one of those graduated responsibility models... is this the last step for him?
9:37 LIGHTING! THUNDER! RAIN! HAIL!
Tyson-who-is-not-allowed-on-the-furniture got off my bed to go watch it with us through the storm door.
BWAHAHAHA!
I love it! Shirt Woot strikes again!
I should know better than to post more than a simple "good morning" before the supplements have had time to kick in.
*sheesh*
Excellent!
I missed it by one letter the first time, but to my knowledge, there were only two or three things it could have been. I wasted one!
I think so, although I think he has to get a new license at 18 and another at 21, because fees.
And the thing has been accomplished. He said the DMV was within range of doing his appointment on time.
Nice!
A Farcical Aquatic Ceremony might work better than what we’re likely to have in 2024.
Funny, I read it so fast I read ‘It’.
Better than that poor guy who tweeted that “The only way you can get monkeypox is by having sex with me.”
That was one crucial “n” that got dropped there. And did he get DRAGGED.
