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
Never tell a man who carries a knife in his sock that he’s wearing a skirt...
...you might get kilt!
Indeed!!
This place is having an inspection by the federales on Wednesday, so there is an almost constant flurry of activity trying to spiffy the place up. Not gonna happen.
Today they’re power-washing the outside of the buildings. Ack! The noise!!
Anyway, good job to both of you, Allegra and Zeeman!
It’s very cool and very beautiful out, but I’m sad to see summer go.
Indeed! Nassty tricksie word!
Kathleen won for her den, so now we’re waiting for the finals. I wish I had a library book.
Congratulations to Kathleen!
I have a few free books on my phone, actually. Just Google it, or whatever search engine you use. I also have the Scriptures on my phone, so I’m never without something to read!
Gore got fat. But it looks like he needs to fix his teeth.
Sometimes I have e-books from the library, but right now, I only have audiobooks.
I have Hoopla from Meck. library and Libby from Union.
Kathleen came in 2nd overall. And there was extra pizza, so the bros got a second lunch, and Patrick, who stopped on the way to work to use the internet, will take the rest of it home.
The ISP for the slum apartment was in Anoreth’s name, so Sally and Pat have to get a new provider, and they haven’t done it yet.
Congratulations again to Kathleen!
Pizza is always good!
Too bad about the internet for Patrick and Sally. I’m waiting for the Yard Guys to get done with their house washing. Man. What a noisy Saturday!
I just stirred some new vegetable waste into my compost bin and found a snakey, in addition to the usual five-lined skink.
Well...Snakes have a purpose, but I’m not excited about them. Still...
Almost done with the two daytime sessions today, with one more this evening, which will take place when I’m in bed, and which I will watch from there. I’m cold, I’m tired and I want to go to bed.
I declined the invitation for supper. Maybe, with luck, I can convince them to invite me for a morning or afternoon session in the spring. If I’m still here.
Anyway, I hope you have a good night, and that your back is better! See you in the morning!
I’m going to do my physical therapy exercises and then take a shower. Then I’ll probably read.
And that reminds me, I need to find my heated blanket and put it on my chair in the living room.
It was quite a small snake, only about 4 inches long. I assume it and the skink are eating insects in the compost bin.
I am out of practice!
Truly glad to see you check in, I’d begun to fear you were among the many who’ve fallen out of our orbit, and drifted of to other shores.
Your poetry is as poignant against the present as on the day it was penned. I’d watched live video from a couple storm chasers hunkering down in Punta Gorda. I can’t imagine riding out that fury in a stick-framed house.
Hope you are well.
I hope the PT is helping your sciatica.
You’re probably right about the snek. There should be enough insects in the compost pile for them to live until they die!
We had a compost pile in VA. It was really cool, actually. It was a circle of fencing, open on one side so the compost could be turned, and on a small “hill.” I planted an herb garden around it so the nutrients from the compost would leach out and provide the herbs with what they needed to flourish. And boy! did they?
I’ve never lived anywhere since then that I could do that again but it’s always been my hope.
Kitteh looks like I feel.
Good morning. I hope your night was restful.
I didn’t make it through the last session last night. I’ll watch some of it off and on today, between the other sessions. BYUtv will have all five sessions available for at least the next month, so I can actually watch them all again.
There were some very cute accents from some who spoke Portuguese and Spanish. And of course, the very handsome gentleman who was born in Czechoslovakia during the war years, and ended up learning Russian and German, which later became his native language. He became a pilot and had to learn English, and he said it was the hardest language he had to learn. He flew for Lufthansa all his life until his call to serve.
It’s truly an international church. There are now more members outside the US of A than there are in it.
Wow. This one almost solved itself!
I suppose tomorrow’s will be a real bear.
