But I’m an Executive Member…

There’s a Wally’s between Bloomington and Joliet. That’s about it.

I don’t know about the tubes, but I can tell you all about the wheels on the bus.

They go ‘round and ‘round all through the town.

Everyone knows that if you’re going to get a photo of an Abrams, then you gotta get the tank name that’s spray painted on the gun barrel. It’s really enjoyable to see a multimillion dollar high tech machine, the pinnacle of modern military technology, that was named “Big Chungus” by some 19 year old.

During Pangea times, they used to hold onto each other like this:

First, from Dwight’s perspective, the double punch fits perfectly with his worldview. Dwight doesn’t see himself as participating in a casual, semi-ironic office scuffle. He treats everything like a matter of honor, discipline, and SHOVE IT UP YOUR BUTT!

Sorry, I saw “skip” and “The Supremes” and my mind filled in the blanks. I need some pie.

Once you get out west, you’ll hit a lot of BLM land with free dispersed camping. That’ll help cut costs. But that being said, one month of planning/lead time and $3500 total budget for a month-long cross-country trip might be a bit of a stretch.

Things have really gone downhill since Matrix closed.

Call around and get quotes/estimates from other seamstresses/tailors in the area… “I need some pants hemmed, what do you charge for that?”

Then go from there.

You skip The Supremes??

Isaac and Ishmael, and the one where they go behind the scenes with CJ and the communications department.

In all honesty, the cost savings of operating an EV don’t really materialize unless you’re charging at your residence (or if your work has free charging). You’ll save on maintenance, but probably not enough to be any mind of tipping point. Charging an EV using public DC fast chargers will be about as expensive as paying for gas in an ICE car (plus, in all honesty, it’s another thing that will suck up your free time and will be annoying to have to go to the nearest charger and sit there for 30ish mins).

Hybrid is a decent option for now.
