Gaps allow for thermal expansion. IIRC, SR-71s gaps were so large, they leaked fuel at rest.

But the real question is, once they shut down those power plants that use natural gas to make ELECTRICITY, how are they going to re-charge their SMUG-mobiles?











BTW in my yoot I worked at both the El Segundo and Redondo Edison plants at one time or another.
Nice clean plants, no smell. No smoke, just a wisp of steam coming out of the stacks.
In fact both of those plants have been idled for about 12 years since the de-regulation, and are only used during peak demand.
But hey, let's shut them down and use jet friggin engines a peakers instead.

We all know that burning natural gas on your stove at home makes a lot more smoke that a bunch of jet engines ruining at full throttle!

There is oil under almost all of the ground of So Cal. Some of it comes to the surface under the ocean, mostly prevalent in Santa Barbara and Carpinteria, but it also seeps from long beach up to Malibu.
But cha can't blame it on big bad companies, it's all mother nature.

Sole is pretty funny.

Yup, that's gonna leave a mark. Between autocorrect and fat fingers......I'm doomed.

Edited and now I go off to soak my head in the toilet of shame. Although I was RLMAO at this.

Tried the audio dictation thingy on the iPhone, once.. That was even funnier looking at its interpretation of my audio text. Something to the effect of being a pigmy drug dealer looking for a hamburger stand while asking directions. It was truly a WTF moment.

Cheers guys

One winter, my wife and I walked half way across the frozen Lake Louise. My wife freaked out all the way there and back. Beautiful county up there.
