Just got back from visiting my nephew in california and spending extended time in a TESLA automobile and it's like something from star wars. totally electric and it makes no noise. none. zero. and it costs you less than a dollar a day to re-charge it daily at your house and then you can go about 250/300 miles.
the company says it will cost you about $90 to travel 1500 miles using their super chargers along the way, (about $13 out on the road) which take no more than 30 minutes. perfect time for a bathroom stop and to grab something to eat. they're pricey at 65k but if you sit down with a sharpened pencil and do some figuring..................
******************************************
We live in the chicago area and have heard stories about rats our entire lives but how about TREE RATS? apparently, it's a california specialty because of their moderate weather and just perfect for when you're relaxing in the back yard. "honey, bring me a beer and the pellet gun." whoa.
********************************
and you'll never again complain about traffic in chicago once you visit the los angeles area. with rare exception, they have no public transportation. none. trains & buses are something california kids read about in midwest history books. GRIDLOCK in the dictionary simply has a map of L.A. next to it. all day & most of the night, bumper to bumper.
*******************************
Finally, i'm with my nephew in the tesla and it's 91 degrees outside but we're just fine in the a/c. then we start heading to 'the valley' and then it's 93, 97, then 101 and finally 104. i thought maybe we had driven into a wild fire but he just shrugged his shoulders. "if we were in yucca valley, it would be 112, 114 degrees." adios, so-cal.
**********************************
back here on earth, i still find sitting in the gazebo at night and listening to COUSIN BRUCIE playing the oldies on sirius radio while smoking a cigar and holding an adult beverage is a perfect way to enjoy an evening.
******************************
I'm serious about this question. HAS ANYONE seen a lot of lightning bugs? i get a few at dusk and then they disappear. very strange. when we were kids, we'd run around with a mason jar collecting them until your folks called you in for the night.
and i hope this last part is true for everyone..........i have no mosquitos around my house. haven't been bitten at breezy acres all summer. yessssssssss!
