Eyes to the skies for some upcoming avian activity. If ya live in MD, Blackwater Natural Bird Refuge is an amazing visit this time of year with a stop in to Old Salty’s for oysters or crab cakes.

Matt Rhule and his bunch called the Carolina Panthers have quietly gotten off to a 3-0 start with good defense.

It doesn't suck if you are a Matt Rhule fan or live in Carolina.

It definitely doesn't suck that I live in Carolina because I wouldn't live anywhere else. However, I might be the only person who lives in Carolina who is not a Panthers fan and that sometimes creates a problem for a few seconds. As for Matt Rhule he just wins wherever he goes. He has a grasp on that winning principle 'Do what you do best and delegate the rest' by surrounding himself with a good coaching staff who knows what they are doing with limited talent based on NFL standards.

I am currently researching Hybrids and all electric vehicles for possible purchase. Research is one thing, first hand experience another. My question is... does anyone here have actual first hand experience experience with either a hybrid, or all electric vehicle that you'd care to share? Thanks!!

things to consider , first your house is set up as a 100 , EV's take 75 of it . as ev's get older their range reduces . i suggest the hybrid because you get the best of both worlds

Does the EV lose range because the battery fails to hold sufficient charge? I read that these batteries have about a 10 year lifespan, is that correct? Are there differences in the EV battery and the hybrid one?

as batteries get older they lose there ability to hold a charge . the life span is true but the decline starts at about 3-5 yrs . much like a remote battery on your TV . yes it last awhile but it becomes less efficient .

my feeling is the hybrid helps overcome the battery life thing and gives you flexibility

I know I’ve posted these crazy ass goats before. Still amazed at how the heck they get up there balance wise given 4 hoofs.

It is crazy isn't it? Maybe there is a pile of dead ones at the bottom and they only film the ones still hanging on.

Those goats are smart too. They don't use those safety lines that let you fall 20 feet, crack you skull open on the cliff and then dangle there a 1,000 above the bottom and a thousand feet from the top.
