My road trips today are TW in Boca (15 miles) and NPB (35 miles), nothing further than that. Did go to a fine restaurant in downtown FTL last month, that was 20 miles away--took a damn hour. I do travel to see the wifey's relatives in Tampa area, but those are mandatory. |

Living in the upper mid west, this meme I'm posting below reminds me of all
the times during colder months when I was working, I would go into the building and find as many of the people who had put their wiper blades up because of freezing rain/sleet/snow, and tell them 'Somebody put your wiper blades up, I put them back down' to the knuckleheads that ran out to check. |

Everyone in Rock Port MO could drive a Tesla for free. But at what cost to bald eagles.

Yes.
I’m going to get a diesel tank and pump. Probably 500 gallons. I will use the fuel for my pickup and tractor and eventually a diesel UTV, and maybe additional equipment. Not much in savings but it will be convenient. |

Actually, not that uncommon. My wife's father was a farmer in Bakersfield, CA, and had a fuel tank on his property. Kept the pump and hose locked up so it wouldn't get stolen and gas used. He used it on his property for his farming.
Others with lots of land may do this too. My father knows a lot of people in rural Illinois and Indiana who do this as well. Something about that self-sufficiency I guess. |

Where I am, I know several (8-10) people who have tanks on their property. Not uncommon at all. Most have diesel and gas, some of my more well-to-do car guy friends even have high octane race gas. I'm talking underground tanks with pumps. The real deal. Not everybody lives on a postage-stamp lot in a cube with bars on the windows.
