That sounds pretty great for the right person, as you say. And you got your socials and sports on at the snow hill I imagine. Because I do think that home schoolers can miss out on some of that.
I moved states the summer before my senior year of HS and at the new place I had extra credits because of different ways of doing class/quarter schedules. So I got to leave early and go to work, and take some photography classes at the community college, and I thought that was pretty hot shit at the time but it’s nothing compared to what you’re describing.

Has he passed on? I kicked the dishwasher in a fit of rage after the pats game last night. The lower tray sludes out like it's a pregnant lady on a waterslide. I need some form of wizardry. My special lady friend is pissed!

Simple, no, it is not going to fix the weather. It's not designed to fix the weather. It's designed to punish and increase government control of human beings.
Will I be able to buy them at Costco?

Yes, but it will be state run, you'll have to wit your turn which could bev6 months or more after the party officials have had their turn. Oh. And the shelves will be empty.
You can buy replacement trays for about 400 dollars
Only an additional $10.00/tankful? You must keep your tank topped off and only add six or so gallons to top it off? ;-) My truck's fuel tank is 32 gallons. The local gas station clicks off at $125, it has clicked off a few times before the tank was full
Somehow I think many of the lobbyists and all their contacts and those bought and paid for will suck up the added 50 cents a gallon and our carbon credits will fill a bunch of stock portfolios, get some hookers, a night on the town. Meanwhile our bridges and buried infrastructure will continue to degrade, our EV charging stations will go up as our power generation becomes more and more dependent upon solar/wind which as we know are super reliable all the time and have no carbon footprint.
@clarkman - I can pretty much guarantee exactly 100 percent of us haven't changed our minds based on this long thread.
Costco wild game bakes - yum.
Worked really good this summer.
Drought Wipes Out Egyptian Empire
For those who think it's easier to annoy you than to Google 'Drought wipes out egyptian empire' themselves.
Sure there was a drought. It was not a 300 year drought, and without all the wars it would not have been the end of the Egyptian empire. The last two decades were impacted by floods. Exaggerating the truth is still false.Drought Wipes Out Egyptian Empire

Feel free to contact the editors of all the websites out there that are failing to report the floods and wars and are exaggerating the truth. I'm sure they'll be receptive...you got this!!
I'm not arguing that there were no floods or droughts or wars. I'm calling out intellectual dishonesty. Anyone can make a mistake or overlook something, but when I see the same behavior repeating itself, I'm going to say something. It hurts us all if we can't just be honest.

Yep, got it. There's a bunch of websites that are 'intellectually dishonest' because like you said, they're not reporting the war and/or the floods, just the drought. Write 'em up and let 'em know. Get out there and make the world a better place!!

I think Rob has raised a very valid concern. But its not necessarily cheap gas we need, its a cost competitive, reliable energy system that drives economic prosperity. Clearly we are not there yet if the “transition” to renewables is the goal. Unfortunately, energy is a lynch pin of the economy and if we fail to maintain a cost competitive, reliable energy system the consequences might be another severe economic downturn like the Great Depression. Depressions like the world experienced in the 1930s are not out of the realm of possibility. Should something like that, even remotely, occur, our natural resources will take a big hit. The US population is triple what it was in the 1930s and the mass immigration of the last few decades has clearly changed the demographic makeup of the country. While we on this forum might embrace a catch and release ethic, respect for fish and game laws and otherwise respect for the environment, I doubt that ethic is widespread in a large part of the U.S. population. Once a large percentage of the population has to struggle to survive, our precious natural resources will suffer.
Rob’s post reminded me of an angling experience I had back in the late 1990s in Alabama. Our consulting firm hired a former Soviet military officer who had defected to the West. I’ll just call him Ivan. Ivan was middle class, welI paid with a wife and two kids. He lived in a nice typical suburban home. I forget where Ivan grew up in Russia, but it was rural and he loved to fish. The first time I took Ivan fishing on a local reservoir, he proved to be a very efficient angler. But he showed up with a 5 gallon bucket. Asking what the bucket was for, Ivan said he wanted to bring some fish home to eat. What eventually transpired however was not “some fish”, but every fish Ivan caught, regardless of size, went in the bucket—everything from 2” bluegill to 2-3# bass. Catch and release was not in his DNA. In fact, Ivan even got upset with me when I tossed fish back into the water. We fished a few more times together before I stopped inviting him. He simply would not stop filling up that 5 gallon bucket with everything he caught.
Rob mentioned poaching. IMHO if there is a significant economic downturn on the scale of the Great Depression, then poaching will become commonplace. It won’t be subtle and its doubtful law enforcement will have much impact in mitigating it. In Montana there are 75 funded game warden positions and typically there are 60-65 active wardens operating in the state. That’s one warden for every 2000 square miles of Montana countryside. Over the last few years during my trips to Florida I’ve witnessed numerous situations where the “No hablo inglés” crowd are scouring the flats for mollusks in public parks where shellfishing is prohibited. They even take Conch which are a protected species. I’ve called park wardens a few times but their response has been pretty much its “too hard to enforce”.
Let’s hope we don’t destroy our economic prosperity on the scale of the Great Depression as if we do, the bottom two tiers of Maslo’s Hierarchy of Needs will rein supreme.
You can never go wrong quoting Tom Waits - there, I have now posted in this thread, so it is sure to be locked.
