Awhile back I mentioned that we no longer allow our dog free run of the farm- due to his unauthorized seven hour tour of my town. My wife felt bad that he had to sit out on the deck all day so she had a custom awning installed to keep the poor pup comfy…

I opened a couple doors today at the flip so that a couple guys could get in to give us quotes for work at the flip. Man, one of those guys hummed a real tune for his work.

I’m confused. We drove through Columbus OH and the sign said Ohio State Univ. (no the). WTF???
That addendum sign was stolen 2 months ago and they’re still looking for the thief. They can’t start the football season until it’s found.

Must have been printed before The trademark 🤣😂
"Stating the full name of the school has become a point of pride for Ohio State’s athletes when introducing themselves on television during games. The three-letter article “THE” has also become an important part of the school’s merchandise and apparel. "

2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
Maybe it was printed by a The Ohio University alum???
I assume the State of Ohio was short of money for the signs and left "The" off to economize.
Roads signs also are limited on space. LOL

Ohio Stadium in the middle. Dorm towers on either side. Son lived on 16th floor
on Lincoln on the right for his first year with 7 other young men sharing an apartment
like pod.
The haven't added "the" to Ohio Stadium, yet. The Ohio Stadium. Sounds good.

and even with higher gas prices (which actually dropped about .$25 in a couple of days here) with the MPG that car gets (assume 35 overall) for that long a trip, might pay $600-$650 all together. Compared to plan tickets, that is cheap! Say gas magically was $3.00 instead. You would save maybe $225? for a 2 week (?) trip practically lapping the country, that seems to be pretty small potatoes.

We’re going to Hawaii next February. To fly nonstop from Seattle would have been $2000 per person round trip.
We’re flying through LA for $600/person…

It was a little cheaper out of NYC but not enough to justify the distance.
In your case, well worth it!
Airfares are so all over the map. Stumbled upon a video where they were talking about how it can be cheaper to fly certain places by selecting a flight where the connection is the place you want to be. Then you abandon your connection. Apparently airlines can ban you for this practice.

Wouldn’t that only work if you DIDN’T check baggage?

Correct and one way flights only
It’s called “hidden city”. Skiplagged is one website that specializes in it.

We're paying only roughly 20% less then that to fly a family of four to LA ($1,900).

Unless you want your baggage to go on to the next stop.
Like the guy who goes up to the ticket desks and says I am flying to San Francisco but I want my luggage to go to Hawaii. And the ticket lady says we can't do that sir. And he says, why not, you did it for me last year?

The thing is that each starting point/destination combination is a different market, that would result in different pricing like you mentioned above. However in the above situation any checked baggage will go to the destination on the ticket. Back in the 80's I had a boss that went to D.C. monthly. A ticket for a flight from Denver to D.C. with a stop over in Chicago was cheaper than going from Chicago to D.C. on the same flight. So he would get the Denver to D.C. flight and picked up the plane in Chicago. Can't do that any more.
You have the same stuff with trains too.

He would buy an airline ticket to Toronto, fill a suitcase with the items Toronto wanted, drive to the airport, check in at the counter and check his bag. The bag would go to Toronto while he stayed behind. After the flight departed he would claim he missed the flight and get his ticket refunded. The Toronto manager would get the flight info, go to the Toronto airport and grab the company suitcase off the baggage carousel. What a company that was. 😒

I have seen studies that show that emissions from producing electricity are considerably lower than an ICE burning gas. And I can't recall ever seeing the anti-EV crowd including all the emissions from the gasoline supply chain too. ships and trucks transporting crude. all the pollution generated by refineries. diesel emissions from the tanker trucks delivering it. whatever fumes escape during the pumping process. all that stuff.
plus ever ICE generates that. a reasonable % of electricity in the country (even more in others) comes from sustainable sources. Including the many EV people with home solar.
