The US has a population of over 335 million people. I can easily see that many millions in sales for charcoal.

By the way, have you left for London yet? I remember you saying that you were going to do an internship there for your Masters degree in June.

Finished Season 1 of The Diplomat on Netflix. Good drama, a bit of comedy sprinkled in.

Watched first 2 episodes of FUBAR on Netflix. It's had bad reviews, but I am enjoying it. Some comedy thrown in. Plus I am a sucker for Arnold, one of my favorites.

The gov't has aware of this for decades including after this fatal accident

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayne_Mansfield#Death

and no regulations and laws have been enacted to protect the public

https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/documentary/americas-dangerous-trucks/

https://www.propublica.org/article/underride-crashes-nhtsa-dot-iihs-safety-cars-trucks

https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/underride-crash-truck-dangerous/

But the gov't will make sure we will all drive EV when new gas vehicles will no longer be allowed to be sold

Hydrogen only makes sense if you have a cheap means of making hydrogen.

I'd say it's a brilliant film, watched it many times.


If you watch Jaws backwards, it's a heart warming story about a shark that spits out so many people that they have to open a beach.

Did you watch the short-lived TV series starring Robert Hayes?

I never watched it. i know it only lasted one season so audiences at the time apparently didn't care for it.

Justified is one of my all-time favourite shows, so I’m eagerly looking forward to this. I just hope it will be good. Justified had such a stellar cast of both good guys and bad guys. Walton Goggins completely stole the show as Boyd Crowder!


In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!
