It would be great if PGE gave hourly usage breakdowns to download. Something they offered before and it was handy to determine if time-of-day bills would save money. The data isn't available any more (or very well buried). In any case, when we buy an EV, we will probably just use a 120v/20amp circuit. Our heat pump is the main power pig.

And most people realized that only one tactical nuke would be fired, followed by the immediate escalation to strategic weapons - all of them.

When I was stationed in the West Indies one of the female officers tried desperately to get a tan, because she was going home for xmas. Six hours a day three days a week, nothing. No tan, no burn, nothing.

I stopped around three gallons because of low iron. I just have trouble assimilating it.

There's no upper age limit, just be in good health and over 110 lbs.

I had a friend who was a bit of a clothes horse, who died in 2004. His GF gave me two wardrobes full of clothes: Gap, LL Bean, that level. Still have one that's mostly shirts.

With few exceptions, all of my shirts and slacks/jeans date back to 1990s; plus some of my boots. My coats are even more vintage. My painter's pants are from my Navy days in the late 1970s.

California Warning: Silica is known to cause cancer (like everything else in California).

The only time I've been in a dog park and there wasn't ANY barking was with about 130 greyhounds and their owners. I've lived in places that had limits on dogs barking, including one that defined "excessive" as more than 45 minutes continuously.

Restaurant meals tend to be smaller than in the US and more expensive.

"Located about 40 million miles away from Earth..." That's gonna to burn a bit. Original article: 40 million light-years.

The number of times I have wished for these when some town decided to save money by making street signs smaller or only on one corner of an intersection.

When I lived in San Diego, Saturday night was Square Pan pizza and Rocky Horror. haven't seen it in decades, though.

One out of three may have been?

One of my nephews used tinted glasses back in the '80s to read. His reading level jumped three grades in four months.

More specifically, "In the present study, we investigated the molecular mechanism of cannabidiol prostate cancer cells" Considering there's no non-invasive treatment for this cancer.

All of our mutts know their names and "Outside?".

I have an acquaintance who is a semi-professional clown. She refuses to accept that some people (me included) do not find clowns funny or entertaining. I saw her working a crowd at a street fair and about 70% of the kids got very upset when she approached, didn't slow her down.

Because of the shallow roots, some redwoods have been killed by people compacting the soil around them. Redwoods can grow in areas where there isn't much rain but lots of fog. The branches and needles condense the fog and it drips down around the tree. The wide, shallow roots absorb enough to keep the trees healthy.

Apparently this is better than the Gen III GPS system which will have "Unbelievable Accuracy" (per Lockheed) of 1-3 meters. Snort.

I've seen this rather often in squashes.

I wonder where, when and why this "no hands in your pockets" started. Is it because women's clothing often doesn't have pockets and moms are leveling the playing field?

Native mason bee, Osmia lignaria? Reads article, nope. Mason bees don't care about a little rain, non-native honey bees do not fly in the rain. Mason bees also are out pollinating months before other bees.
