Good Luck with That!

Well, Chicago will soon have a new mayor, Brandon Johnson. I wish him the best because he's got his work cut out for him! Chicago will also serve as the host city for the next Democratic National Convention. Good luck with that, Chicago! In theory, it sounds like a boon for the city. Lots of visitors, a flow of money into the city, etc. I hope when the time comes the city is ready for it. The last thing Chicago needs is to have something terrible happen to a visitor who's come to town for the convention. The publicity is bad enough for the city right now because of crimes committed again people who live in and around here! Imagine the coverage if some crime is committed against a visitor. It'll be on a non-stop loop over the national news.

Moving on...

As I'm seriously contemplating getting a new car this year, I keep reading about the national push to have people buy electronic vehicles. Yeah, later for that. I want to know I can keep my car moving by getting gas, not from having to find a charging station. As someone who occasionally takes road trips, I know I can find a gas station readily available. I can't say the same for a charging station. I understand the environmental reasons that electronic vehicles are preferred over those run with gas, but that alone would not convince me to get an EV. I'll have to try and help save the planet some other way.
