Life is hard. There is always, always a choice to be made. And hope.

53 outside, heading to mid 80's.

A day of reflection, and remembrance for sure.

Hope all have a good day. Be safe.

good morning all
58 in Little American WY in light rain ending in an hour.
Then a front comes through with 30mph winds this afternoon.
that surely is not what I want to be out in so I'm leaving early this morning for Heber City near Salt Lake and hope to be in campground by noon when winds are supposed to really pick up.

first I'm going to the Walmart near the campground, after my chopped fruit as usual, and looking for a few other things. Then two days in this campground where it will be 33 tomorrow morning.
Thought it would be a good idea to get propane tank topped off this morning on the way out, since I"m going to be using the propane furnace at those temps. Plus both my electric heaters, one of which is on now.

I fell asleep and slept through the debate, which I regret. So up early, waiting for coffee pot to finish its work.

Buppies, I send you a big man hug for your challenges with your lovely wife. We are all pulling for both of you.

9/11 and never forget have a special meaning to me because my generation is likely the last to remind everyone of the never forget before this.
The Holocaust we can never forget, in which my family lost at least ten people. We must always stand up to evil.

I’d be surprised if anyone didn’t remember exactly where they were 23 years ago today. I was in Goose Bay, Labrador watching the TV in disbelief. The airport was a total zoo with airplanes that were US bound from overseas diverting.
It was over a week until I was able to cross the border back into the US, aviation has never been the same, we now have the department of Homeland Security and the TSA for starters.

read an interesting article this morning on refresh of Rivian RT1 EV truck.
my goddaughters's husband, a pilot, bought the first four motor one, and absolutely loves it. Rivian has outstanding engineering and apparently they just made this model better with new tech.

Tech that was so good the VW group, largest in the world, just paid
$5 billion to Rivian for rights to the tech. So Rivian electronic tech will underpin much of future VW production. Way to go Rivian.

I also read Rivian loses 30k on every vehicle.
you just wonder how they make that all work.
Well 5 very big ones will sure help.

I still think hybrid vehicles are our future. If we all had been getting 30-50mpg years ago, I don't think we'd be having all the issues we have today. Most of us remember the "gas crisis", not a fun time.
Unfortunately hybrid vehicles almost by nature are so focused on mpg they are not considered much fun to drive. The new Prius may be an exception to that.

but not sure of what engine would push my motorhome and get better than 10mpg.
