I've heard tell if we all go electric, our power grid is insufficient. No idea if true, false or simple fear mongering. For those saving the environment, what magic source charges those EVs? I'm not opposed to electric but I drive 3000-4000 miles per month for work. Taking time to charge for a trip to Jackson, TN or MS is not viable in my world. A few years ago Cadillac was playing around with small generators powering electric motors / charging batteries; haven't heard anything else about that technology.

Anyone doing anything for the inflation that is coming?

Not a point, a fact! Adding more just never seems to work out. -

According to one news report I saw yesterday, highest in 30 years. Yep, it's all good, I know what my core budget is and it's particularly easy for me to stop spending money on extras. A few million liked minded upper lower and middle class folks follow my lead, let's see what really happens. Reducing spending and increasing cash / savings seems prudent with the millionaire tax on over $400k... This bothersome noise from DC supposedly aggregates totals and targets unrealized income which includes equity in a home or those evil tax deferred 401Ks that only certain, lucky, fortunate individuals get. Add 1.5 trillion in new spending for infrastructure, where 20ish percent is actually for infrastructure, and rain money in the masses, my guess is 81 million voters are going to get what they probably didn't exactly think they were voting for. Supply chain? Americans sitting at home buying excess items on the internet are the problem, be a part of the solution! -
I wanted a lever action and ended up with a '56 Savage 99 acquired from Best Gun Buddy. They have as neat a history as any firearm out there, have a 99 year run. Mine would be shooter grade, so it has an awesome patina and the case hardening on the level is pretty cool.

Add for Camels? "More kids smoke Camels than ever before...soft on the T-zone, that's T for taste and T for throat!"

All manner of roles in financial services, started in '88 All kinds of consumer lending, 20 years in indirect auto. Processing, collections, risk management, sales; basically soup to nuts. Currently lead the business development department for a multi billion dollar organization in the mortgage and title insurance arena. A few tangents along the way: restaurant and catering, residential and commercial moving, residential and commercial flooring installation with wholesale flooring supply.

Thank you for your service!

Not sure how I missed this one, y'all are a pretty funny bunch!

I've been seeing the adverts and may have my son's HBO credentials. I'm old enough to remember the original release, don't think it's a horrible adaptation and enjoy seeing blockbuster actors earlier in their careers.

From the internet, they seem to be a good tire with a cool tread pattern. But it's the internet, any TGO'ers have real experience? Also considering the Pirelli Scorpion AS3, they're $60 less per unit and the internet says they're good too. Looking for 1. quiet 2. more wet capable than snow 3. tread life I drive 3200-3500 miles per month, 80% interstate, 18% city, 2% off pavement

Thanks for the pics! -
Always been an annual payer, stopped a while back due to the alleged fancy suits and trips overseas. Have a renewal sitting on my desk right now. I know I need a lobbyist and willing to pay for one, but I am having trouble sending them any of my money

Thank you for your prayers and positive thoughts, they are powerful. There is no magic pill given for strokes, healing is through patient participation, the brain creating new neural pathways and the grace and mercy of God. We have been home for a little over a month and she is doing well, mobile with walker and limited wheelchair. In home therapy, probably out patient week after next. I've been living Acts 4:30 Father, stretch forth your hand to heal and to perform signs and wonders in the name of your holy servant Jesus. It's a coincidence or a miracle, I know which one I choose.

Here's some good ol' right wing, non CDC - NIH - State Science Institute propaganda. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/09/guardians-covid-crib-sheet-presents-facts/ Also read where the VAERS reporting is perhaps not up to date. Considering I have two family members with odd medical conditions coincidentally tied to supposed vax side effects, should I be ok with, "some folks just have bad reactions?" It's for the public good, but who gets to define the public and what is good?

Doesn't fit the anti 2A narrative? -
Are some of the auto plants still shut down because of chip shortages?

Driving by on the interstate, they look out of business and could hold sporting events in that giant parking lot -
Home to start rehab. Has interest in a dog, but not a priority right now. Just doing the back work if we go that direction.

Thanks @xsubsailor Regarding her mobility, she anticipates smear full recover from the stroke. She's mobile enough now for the in/out, feeding / watering. Security in terms of a dog being a deterrent vs. a true protection unit. And my out of town, as a rule, is typically a single night at a time. Plus, we had a dog for almost 17 years and have been dogless for about 18 months.
-
This is what I'm looking for, based on her hospital therapy this far, perceive low need for a walker or cane. Thanks all for the feedback!

$2800 for 2 weeks of boarded, service dog training. Does this sound reasonable?

Along with @chances R , "target for a gun grab," makes OC less than optimal.
