Right?! We call it "The before times" now in my circle. It's so stark, it's similar to how everything changed after 9/11.

Ironically, in my bubble of life/friends there are two camps, like you stated and I am in camp 2016. I always use the night the Cubs won the world series as my benchmark ;) nothing has been the same since.

Their chicken is nasty IMO. I just got Purdue at Kroger and hour ago and it was 2.99 a pound for boneless/skinless. It's my preferred brand. Butchered well, way more tender.

Ok, that's fair. I think I got really mad about the trees :/ Especially living where I do. When I am in the concrete jungle it is crazy how much hotter it is.

Regarding emissions, I agree something has to change. On top of the oil and gas, our chemical plants are killing us too. They call where I live Chemical Valley and one town near a huge plant has the 4th highest cancer rate in the country.

Add to that, this is coal country. It's baffling how many people around me are disabled or have lost family who worked in the mines, yet flip out when you talk about taking their coal away.

I hear ya! I am typically not one to rewatch much, simply because my list of new things is quite large.

I actually heard this on the radio yesterday on the way home and it was a great interview. Makes me want to watch the next generation again

Same here! My main issues/concerns are due to weather and the lack of a place to charge up. Already this year we've seen how they don't do well in extreme cold or heat. And my area also had significant storms recently so flooding, no power, etc. And I live in an area will large hills (look like mountains, but not quite) and my friends with electric cars complain about it quite a bit. It drains the battery and struggles on some inclines.

The best I've seen so far is a Lexus hybrid sedan a friend has. Handles the terrain well, charges as you drive, doesn't need plugged in at all.

I feel like they need to have more going for them until we can all switch.

Just wanted to say I agree with everything you said. As a woman who has worked with the public for 30+ years I have never said yes to someone who asked me out while working.

Kitty litter helps with traction and if you have room, some boards too.

In lawsuits targeting the coal operator Arch, residents contend that mining activity has disrupted their lives and emitted a gas that threatens their safety and the planet.

LORIMOR, Iowa — Babe the goat is trendier than she looks.

Babe lives a quiet life on a hillside farm in southern Iowa, where she grazes on grass with a small herd of fellow goats. Her owner, Stacy Wistock, milks her twice a day.

Wistock takes precautions to keep the milk clean, but she rarely pasteurizes it. Until recently, she gave it away to family and friends. Now, she’ll make a little money off it. Iowa legislators decided this spring to join dozens of other states in allowing small producers to sell unpasteurized milk from cows, goats, and sheep. The story continues

This is extremely interesting to me. I live in WV and although beautiful, our land and waterways are quite toxic. Hopefully there will be some positive outcome for the plaintiffs.
