Lets hear what “Ace” has to say.

FAA Updates Drone Rules to Allow Devices to Fly Over ...

This may sound wierd, but I’d like to see $8 gas a gallon this summer.  It was $2 under Trump, and the first thing the vegetable did was cancel the Keystone pipeline and restrict drilling.  Then when his own left starts complaining, he can say, “What did you expect?  You knew this green new deal would hurt, now shut up and take your medicin like the good little usefull idiots you are!”
Kind of like an addict needing to hit rock bottom before being able to see the error of their ways.

But Ace, that’s part of the plan to make us drive electric cars.

Am I the only one amused by the idea of an electric car ...

.Volkswagon recently went crosscountry with their new electric car. It took only 18 days, Not bad if you have plenty of time to kill. An ecouragement to take a train?

If gas does go through the roof (and of that I have no doubt) It may well be more economical to go electric, and perhaps you’ll be able to find a “free” charging station, but that won’t last. Nothing is ever free. Some of us can recall when they said nuclear power would be too cheap to meter. But energy has to come from somewhere, and nuclear power doesen’t create those bad emissions that the greenies are terrified about.

But lets cut to the chase, Our Leftist Overlords want to force as many people back into mass transit as possibe either by the carrot or ultimatly (and it will happen) the big stick. They can’t have the Masses just going places on their own whenever they feel like it.

Besides, Highways are Racist. Especially in deep blue L.A.

A way back in the day.

When I was in High school many years ago I tried out for the baseball team in my freshman, sophmore, and junior years. My parents paid out money they really couldn’t spare for a pair of cleats. I went to every practice, and tried my best, but my obvious lack of talent, and athlectic ability in general, led to my being the first one called into the coaches office and told that my presence was no longer neccessary.

Academically it was the same. I did graduate of course; but with a G.P.A. of around 2.5. The guidence counselor didn’t mince any words: forget about college. I didn’t have the grades to be accepted anywhere I was just mediocre.

Which was all for the best. With no sport or academic scholorship possible, my parents couldn’t have afforded it anyway.

So I joined the Coast Guard and had the time of my life. Afterwords I was able to go to college and got an associates in a STEM field. And for the next fifty years I ‘earned’ a paycheck, paid taxes, had a very succesful marrage, and we raised two kids who are now doing very well, thank you.

Could I have done better with my life? Hindsight is 20/20 they always say: but the past can’t be changed. You’ll always have those cud’da, shud’da, wud’da feelings. “If I’d only done this instead of that”. My life would have been different but not neccessarly better. There is no point dwelling on it.

I do know my life could have turned out a lot worse.

So this is…but one example of…
