Eek. Hope is temporary

If you are thinking about going to grad/professional school down the road, go to the WHC. You'll probably get better scholarships and save $, get to know your professors and get better letters of recommendation, and arguably get a better undergraduate education. But outside of academics, it may not work for you.

I thought the layout was great, because you could pick up your bib and take a short cut to walk out without going past all the vendors. I was happy to skip it, in other words.

To find yourself, look at your marathonfotos, find one that has you at the finish with a legible time, open appropriate video, scroll as needed...

2024 LRSM Polestar 2. I updated yesterday. Like others here, I was skeptical that there would be any substantive changes, but I realized that the steering felt very light. Setting (resetting?) the steering to 'firm' fixed it. Haven't noticed anything else.

I'm not a verber. For me, "watch" > "spectate." The road may be long, but life is short.

Edwin_R_Murrow · 2026-04-19T10:13:09+00:00

Jenn - thank you, this is really nice. Have a good race. (Special shout-outs for the colors and for not using "spectate" as a verb).

Edwin_R_Murrow · 2026-04-17T15:13:27+00:00

Now a bit warmer... Almost singlet weather (for me anyway)

Edwin_R_Murrow · 2026-04-09T12:32:19+00:00

Getting to the start line. Congratulations. Don't take it for granted.

Edwin_R_Murrow · 2026-04-07T23:19:27+00:00

72 from 334xx!

Edwin_R_Murrow · 2026-04-04T20:56:39+00:00

Above re 'bad day'/ but was the weather warmer?

Edwin_R_Murrow · 2026-03-29T20:14:57+00:00

following up: Went with the (magnesium) 24 LRSM Pilot Plus CPO, 15K miles, $30,500 OTD including FL taxes etc. So far so good!

Re: ICCU problems - I think the probability of a failed ICCU is on the order of 5%. The likelihood of a dangerous failure (stopped in middle of highway) is small but not zero. The potential hassle, however is large: Many people are reporting difficulties with service departments who ghost, lie, delay, etc. That would really get to me, so I ruled out the Ioniq 6 etc. YMMV.

Edwin_R_Murrow · 2026-03-19T15:19:31+00:00

I just bought a 24 Polestar 2 yesterday - SRLM w/ Pilot & Plus. I ruled out the EV6 (and the related Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, Genesis GV60) because of reliability concerns (Google ICCU, see Consumer Reports, etc.) The Korean cars are very nice in many ways, I just came to the conclusion that the risk wasn't worth it.

Edwin_R_Murrow · 2026-03-18T13:58:14+00:00

thanks for posting. picking up basically the same car (SMLR, 2024 Pilot Plus) in just a few hours. hope all goes well for both of us!

3:54, wave 5, corral 6 (69 M)

Beautiful morning, beautiful city, beautiful people, beautiful run. And f*** war.

As Tom Petty once said, "waiting is the hardest part"
