These last two weeks have been draining . Last weekend I did get to go to NJCC and this weekend Dover Comic Con .
Texas needs to put in more Solar panels and wind farms . Well everyplace should really .
Dream Cruise time again, need to avoid Woodward this weekend.
Solar and Wind are only useful as supplemental sources, you need Hydro, Gas, Coal or Nuclear to provide base line and Gas or Coal for surge supplies. Solar and Wind have issues, Cloudy Day or No Breeze will always impact them.
Florida is the āSunshineā State, but even with all the State incentives you donāt see very many solar home installations. The Sun doesnāt shine enough. Some of my neighbors have Solar water heating, but they complain that it doesnāt work all too often.

Texas could always resort to buying emergency power from Mexico again?
Seems odd to me that a state that was front and center in the energy boom is having energy issues. Ex-gov of TX is the energy secretary now, maybe itās time for Austin to call in a favor from DC?
NASA-based research from a while back of existing TX wind farms showed that they create localized warming, which might be undesirable.

So, on the way home today, I saw driving a car⦠while it was on fire⦠Iām assuming the driver didnāt know their car was on fire, but knew something was wrong (hazard lights were flashing.
Ugh! Just what your Monday needs.
Did they have marshmallows?
This is my current favorite thing. Shipping information on something I ordered from Sentai, shipped from Houston.
It arrived in Austin 13 minutes before it left Houston???
Obviously some sort of space/time continuum problem here.
Often the times reported are dependent of the accuracy of the computers that are handling the scanning, so the time could be off on the machine in Houston ( a rare event ) and you would get something odd like this. Doesnāt happen too often. Also, Iāve seen UPS re-use tracking numbers which resulted in all sorts of confusion.

TARDIS Express when it absolutely has to be there before you mailed it.
Whatās this? Ah yes an appropriate question. What other secrets do they know?
Interesting, the one time I chose to buy something from Sentai, it shipped from RightStuf.
RightStuf is Sentaiās warehousing contractor. It makes sense to use RightStuf since they are already comfortable handling & shipping Anime. They also serve as AofAās & Pony Canyon USā warehouses.

Iām taking a survey and I want to know how they know that was my LAST birthday!
Oh the joys of English, no wonder the poor Japanese kids have to struggle. I think I would decline to answer that one.

Lol yāall, it canāt be that bad⦠right?
Itās annoying how you never get the ones you want.
Now thatād be worth watching!
