I just drove from California to Yellowstone and back for vacation. The gas prices were pretty close throughout the drive. And fast food costs were the same everywhere.

Also, teachers retirement is paid through Calsters in California. That's an entirely separate fund in an entirely separate state agency than education. It's a pension system where the teachers pay in and the state pays as well while they are working like any other private company's pension system.

And nobody can grasp the concept that you can't print to a printer if it is connected to a computer that is powered off.

Should we start a go fund me to send George Martin and Patrick Rothfuss to several concerts?

I am glad you said that. I was about to be amazed that China was stupid enough to try city wide lockdowns again.

I love these double use of land. Seems like such a good solution for clean energy.

No airplane has an air conditioner. They pump cool air into the plane when it is at the sky bridge at the gate. You can see the flexible duct hose that the plane is connected to. Or they have a mobile air conditioning unit next to the plane. The vast majority of the time the airplane is either airborne usually at an air temperature of negative 50° f or at the gate at the airport. It doesn't make business sense to carry the weight of an air conditioner for the relatively short time. The airplane is taxi.
