When will electric car owners start to be charged road use tax? Will it be on their electricity bills?

Also, this is a replacement after Amazon lost the initial item, so they sent the replacement through UPS.

Now obviously the item is of little importance. I bought a replacement from Target and if these arrive great if not oh well. Guess I'll be in for a story. :lol:

Yes, technically correct. That is where I took the photo.

It also bares a strong resemblance to a certain watch brand logo, though admittedly the font is different.

Aha! I thought there would be something watch related, but I wasn't smart enough to figure out what!

Don't feel bad. At least you know the difference between bare and bear.

When I was in college I got to know this girl. We were walking and talking one evening and I started to sense we were both falling for each other. This "sense" was like fireworks going off in my head -- I was quietly going bonkers. As we were sitting we grew quiet and she then asked me: what are my intentions? In my young self doubt I said I didn't know, which was the wrong answer. That was the end of our relationship.

I bring it up now because it is still a good question. I've been thinking about it as I work in the yard. My intentions were certainly honorable, but I lacked confidence in myself to say so. I can see how a person needs both. In any case, "I don't know" was a pretty lame answer, lol.

Every time someone posts about a Pagani watch, my brain reads it as "Paganini," and I expect a violin solo to follow.

I'm glad I am not the only one! I will "one up the randomness" by adding that I always think of the line from The Hunt For Red October, "Pavarotti is a tenor, Paganini was a composer." :lol:

If it was an actual Konstantin Chaykin at that price point, I'd buy one for every day of the week.

It's halftime at the Wales/Denmark round of 16 Euro 2020 match. Denmark leads 1 - 0 on the basis of a goal by Kasper Dolberg.

Dolberg was plagued by bad news in recent times: He caught COVID-19 twice and had his €70,000 watch stolen.

So, the question is: Which is worse, catching COVID twice or having an €70,000 watch stolen?

I'd have to go with COVID. There's probably a higher statistical chance of losing your life from it than from having your watch stolen.
