You get what you pay for?
I'm on vacation here in San Antonio, high seventies and all. We went down to Corpus Christie yesterday, and toured the retired USS Lexington, commissioned in 1943 after her predecessor went down in the Coral Sea. It's amazing that all that old technology even worked, it seemed so crude.
And speaking of crude technology, I happen to glance at the dashboard of our full-size rented Caddy with 1,200 miles on it. The red battery idiot light is on, not charging, and we're 150 miles from home base. So we switch drivers, and like Apollo 13 I have everything optional and electric shut down except the radio. We made it back and will switch cars today. Hope it starts.
It's got seat warmers, seat coolers, all kinds of toys, but GM can't keep a battery charged past 1,000 miles.
But, like I said, it's nice and warm. We'll get over it, heading up to Austin today to visit the LBJ library and a Waffle House.

While at the LBJ Library, be sure to visit the Election Fraud exhibit. Shouldn't be hard to miss, as I understand it takes up most of the first floor...
