    Wapakoneta is in Ohio? Who knew? :P So that would mean the other astronaut should have the state flag for New Jersey on his shoulder?


    Or, since the moon isn't shown and the size of the earth, it could also be John Glenn, Jim Lovell or Donn Eiselle, who beat Neil into space. All from Ohio. There are a slew of astronauts from Ohio.

    Just goes to show what lengths people will go to get out of this state! (there, I beat someone to it!)

    Too true. I just remember seeing this somewhere else and that it's supposed to be Armstrong. 

    And growing up in Ohio was one of the reasons I now live in Arizona. I wanted out so much I enlisted in the Marine Corps.

    I'm becoming more and more Luddite-like as stores and restaurants try to force me to get their app! My phone screen is too small to read that app crap, anyway!
     
    Dr. Seuss might say,
    I don't want your app on my phone,
    I don't want your app at my home.
    I don't want your app in my hall,
    I don't want your app crap at all.

    I guess I must be a Luddite: I don't want an electric vehicle and I don't understand my IPhone most of the time. 

     

    PF

    I resemble that remark. There is SOME tech that I like, (my DVR for instance), but I simply don't have a need for a lot of it. Of course I have a confuser, as well as the aforementioned DVR, but not a lot else. People and places, as Brazos John mentioned, keep trying to get me to use their app. I just pull out my flip phone and don't say a word. They get the idea pretty quick. 

    My newest vehicle is a 2006, so not so much in the way of computers in them, at least not compared to today's vehicles. As for EVs, I look at them like I look at most tech, if you want one, go for it. But don't try to push it on ME. EVs may be the future, but they're not there yet. For most people, they're just not practical.

    Happens I have original title to the Brooklyn Bridge if you are interested.  Fancy refrigerator / freezer failed after ten years, I was told that was the expected lifespan.  Clothes washer, Dishwasher similar.  Batteries, lithium camera batteries regularly require replacement.  BTW, they could recycle plastic too, but except on a boutique basis it never really worked.  Check out the UK, or a source you might find credible, NPR.  I get it, you are all in on electric in a place with rolling blackouts, and diesel powered car charging stations that are far less fuel efficient than several cars  I'll pass on the Kool Aid and the electric cars.

    Don't bother. Subdeacon Joe thinks that EVs are The Next Great Thing. He is a True Believer. He has one that works for HIS meager needs, so he thinks that they will work for the rest of us.
