Probably not. I’ve been watching the news and there’s been no mention of any fire, controlled or otherwise, mentioned by the news parrots. I guess that’s a good thing, but we are overcast in a way that screams FIRE.  Maybe it will burn off as the morning progresses.

Tori just arrived and the first words out of her mouth were, “Is there a fire?” Nina jumps in with the fact that it may be dust since it was mentioned on the news last night in reference to Las Vegas.

Electric Cars?

Tesla is tempting many states with plans to open a battery plant and NM is one of the states drooling all over themselves to woo the then here. They promise up to 6000 jobs, so it makes sense to make the effort to get the plant for the state’s economy. Also, Tesla just announced that they will soon offer an entry level car in their inventory soon. $35,000 + or –

They are also causing controversy with several states about their “dealerless” sales model. Three states have laws prohibiting or restricting  this type of business model. Tesla sells online mostly and they sell directly to the customer exclusively. No dealers or salespeople to deal with, just pay and go. The states are worried about sales tax loss, but if they were smart, they’d collect the tax at the time of registration like NM does. Texas, Arizona, and New Jersey are a few of the states. Wieners!

Would you buy an electric car? I know I wouldn’t, considering the limited range between charges.
