    @Larry said in My day yesterday: @Jolly said in My day yesterday: @Larry said in My day yesterday: @Horace said in My day yesterday: Maybe I should buy a house in the smokies. I had one that id have sold you, but unfortunately it burned to the ground a few years back in the big fire. Ever thought about a getaway cabin? Something a little remote (although I don't know if you can do that in the Smokies anymore) and just big enough for the two of you? Yes, you can still build cabins, in the areas where lots are sold. Mine was just outside of Pigeon Forge, the best I remember around 2 000 square feet, and very remote. Huge view off the back balcony. It burned down in the big fire a few years ago. I sold the lot, took the insurance money, and built one in Coker Creek, near the Cherohala, which is a whole different area from Pigeon Forge. The plus to being near Pigeon Forge is the commercial activity so close. The plus to the one in Cherohala is its near some of the family... My mom and dad knocked around that part of the country a pretty good bit. I remember when Pigeon Forge wasn't much more than a wide spot in the road...

    Don't correct the lad. He sees outcomes and alternative pathways that are beyond your comprehension.

    Trust-busting and tariffs. Is it time to make sure certain industries have at least some of their manufacturing in the U.S.?

    Biomethane is common in Brazil too. Much of the São Paulo taxi fleet runs on it.

    There is a Chinese saying: "Wealth never survives three generations”. first generation makes it, the second generation spends it, and the third generation loses it Guess it is somewhat the same with businesses too.

    @Mik said in Biden: "Where's the gas, man?": You have to wonder though, between Venezuela and Mexico, why they don't build their own refineries. Corruption and inefficient. Venezuela has/had PdVSA, which did a lot of refineries there. When President Chavez took over, fired a lot of the PdVSA technical staff. Mexico has PEMEX. Same type of situation. Nigeria. Leading oil producer but has to import finished products! etc etc. It is sad.
