Visiting the USS Texas was a multi-sensory event for a kid that grew up in The Woodlands.
First. Travel by refineries. WTF!? The smell. The sights. The fires!!! Where are all the pipes going??!? Rotten eggs in my nostrils! Shit is on fire!? Why do we need petroleum products?
Second. Fast food. DQ, to be specific. I don’t know where we stopped. I was probably busy playing with my red GameBoy pocket to know. But damn, we didn’t have DQ in The Woodlands.
Third. That cool ass monument with the star. Texas was born here? Odd choice.
Finally, the battleship. Badass. Majestic. Walking over the gantry to the deck and immediately putting yourself on one of the anti-aircraft guns. Nothing like it.
Going with my grandfather, who was a Korean War vet. Listening to his stories of circumnavigating the globe in his destroyer. Learn what ports he got his tattoos in and hear him talk shit about the officers as we walked through their quarters—seeing his quarter—I definitely needed to be an officer.
The anchor. Wow. I did not know chains could be that big. Learn how my grandfather hid from those POS officers in the anchor well while at sea. Probably dangerous and easily I don’t exist.
The engine room! Fantastic!!! How far down are we!? I think I’d rather be on the bridge.
And finally, the big guns and seeing the size of the shells. I do not want to be on the receiving end.
What a great boat.

Why are we playing Mancini? Oh that’s why.

So it looks like if the new federal legislation passes as is, Tesla, GM, Toyota, etc. would be eligible for buyer tax credits again (though I think Tesla will have to lower the cost on most of their vehicles to meet the price requirements in the framework) while cars that are built overseas will not be eligible. It will be interesting to see if/how it affects the EV market in America.
I thought there was an income cap provision for these credits or am I making that up?

Haha it did. Only took a week for the renewal.

I've mailed my passport for visas a bunch of times. Wouldn't worry about it.
This.
and pro tip. You can get a second passport while you wait for your primary passport to return with whatever visa you sent it in for. Although if you enter the same country with a different passport and it’s only been a month between visits it does raise some eyebrows. Easily explained though.
I’ve mailed my passport for visas from Saudi Arabia, Russia, India, and Pakistan with no issue.

Parents made their kids get out of the house every day? I have a 13 year old that goes fishing every day or plays basketball at the park. He takes water with him and stays hydrated. He's fine. All kids these days would be just fine too.
How do you know he won’t immolate?

I drove over this dam once. This hits close.
Was this on Brisket’s bingo card?

It ain’t just here either, it’s supposed to be 100°+ in London on Monday. That’s near all-time record high for the country.
100 centigrade!?! Water outside will be boiling!

Do you have an older house? Aluminized decking in the attic and spray in foam as well as used newspaper for insulation. Look into this. My current house is more than twice as big as my last (pre kids) and my E bill is the same. We keep it at 68 at night and 73 during the day.Used newspaper…

Don’t get a parking ticket like me. I was only 4 minutes late. I went to the admin building to argue or negotiate and simply got to pay it there instead of online. Saved the processing fee though.
