So CBS News has stated that fewer cars are on the road because of Covid lockdowns and people working from home…

And that has had an “insignificant” impact on Global Warming. Literally 15% fewer cars,  7% fewer “emissions” yet it has effectively no impact…..could it be that the models are wrong? All those emails from Stay at Home workers are negating the effect of all those cars driving fewer miles… (ad)

They claim that 100 emails produce the same carbon footprint as 1 mile of driving (Which is a terrible oversimplification, really) So all those people working from home are negating the fact that they aren’t driving to work…..All those emails use a terrible amount of power….. 

Or is it possible that all those cars had a negligible impact BEFORE the Covid crisis? And the computers are a wash, whether they are produced and read from home or in an office, as are the emails. The servers are operating, and sending an email through it uses a very tiny addional amount of power vs the server sitting idle, but powered…. It’s not like anyone is gonna shut down the email servers, is it? 

Can the folks at CBS do any math? Have they no logic in their thoughts? 

 If you don’t fail sometimes, then you ain’t tryin’. 

AC has some good wisdom.  

I think most people are too afraid of failure

 So here I am driving…and some asshole had to wave his—Corvette—- at everyone. 

It was a nice car, but driven by an idiot. He did , obviously, have a LOT of cash, as there is no other reason a 25 year old lday who looks and dresses like that would be his wife….as old as he was….I assume a wife, ’cause she was wearing a 3 carat or better bit of carbon crystal on her hand. 

Anyway, he was tearing it up, showing off the power of the car. I couldn’t resist messing with him in the Dodge Diesel…Yes, out of town that car can run away from me, and, in the hands of a person who knows how to drive, can eat me for lunch (I am, after all, driving a 4WD diesel)…but in town I was able to not only keep up, but run away from him stoplight to stoplight…and brake well enough to negate his advantage there as well. Plus weaving in and out of traffic….He didn’t know how to drive. It was fun. Turns too, I’m no expert at driving, but he was most obviously not a well trained driver…. And while we weren’t really street racing (that would be illgal, after all) it was a bit sporty at times, not only stoplight to stoplight, but through the curvy bits as well. In the hands of an expert driver (which he was most obviously not) the Corvette can do a lot. In his hands, I was able to make him look bad with a truck…His lady was laughing at his antics…and at one stoplight smiled, winked, and stuck her toungue out at me…She knew.

Nice ride though. I wish I could afford one like that. Plus the car…

 Much truth HERE

 Can anyone explain why the USPS is failing in such a spectacular fashion nearly everywhere this year?

I mean, on a good year, the US Postal Service is a less than excellent service provider. They do (sorta) usually step it up for Christmas season, but for the past several months they ahve been….less than stellar…

Why? Is there a (valid) reason for this? 

 Maybe Pence DID get the vaccine shot this morning….and maybe he didn’t….Perhaps it was just saline solution in that syringe. 

HOW WOULD YOU KNOW one way or the other? 

Were you there? Did you see the vial that the “vaccine” was drawn from? Do you know the provenance of that vial?  

I’m not saying that he did not get the shot….but I have no way of knowing what was in that syringe. No way of verifying any of the claims.

It might well be that it is all theater. Most “News” is. I have no way of knowing if anyone that I can trust verfied that the stuff that was injected into out (current) vice-President was, in fact, the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine. …nor that it wasn’t for that matter. 

Neither do you. 

Think about it. Do you have any reason to trust any of the actors here? The Media? I don’t. I believe that Pence is a good man, but even he doesn’t know, for sure, what was in that needle or where it came from. 

It’s not like the Media or the Federal Government has ever lied to us before…..

 So I stopped on the way to some shopping…

I see these two women on the left side of the road, on the shoulder, hazard lights blinking. I pull over in front of them and walk back to see if they need my help. (I may not be a gentleman, but I can’t pass by a lady in distress)

They had lost the entire exhaust system, catalytic converter back. It was hanging by a thin strip of exhaust tubing and one mount, getting caught under one of the rear tires, and making a lot of dragging noise. Not a big deal, easily removed so they could get on their way. Took less than 5 minutes. 

The one lady was on the phone with someone, and when I offered help, she said into the phone “Some white guy is here and he is helping us”. 

Did I mention that these two ladies were african-American? 

But I wasn’t “Some Guy” I was “Some White Guy” to her. I didn’t care what color they were, I saw two ladies in need of help. She saw a “White Guy”.  

I got them on their way, and her companion thanked me for my help. 

But it was strange. 

 That is the cry of folks in the northeast that are trapped by the 10-27 inches of snow (depending on locations) from this latest winter storm…

I say, So what? You can’t go anywhere anyway ’cause of Covid, so sit and wait for the streets to be plowed…

I mean, bars, and restaurants are closed, right? You should have at least a few days worth of food…

So what is the big deal, really?

 From the sidebar…..especially one that has been there since I started blogging. 

But go far enough around the bend, edit your comments enough, or just plain lose the ability to be rational and I gotta. I once greatly respected this blogger. Sadly, not so much anymore.

Previously, I had only removed folks who had apprently stopped blogging. 

But hey, it had to happen.
