leaf

Purchased the Nissan Leaf this week. This is the electronic vehicle which allows a $7500. federal rebate, and the home connection, which in my case is another $750., reimbursed. Car price was similar to a fuel charged vehicle with minimal upgrades, and “she” gets 260 miles to a charge. Am told charges can take a half hour to an hour, and will learn how to access those sites via a cell phone AP.

Since I believe in the climate change science been considering this purchase for 2 years. When “Joe,” gave the incentive decided it was time. Interesting enough had learned of the Leaf while on a ferry crossing a fjord in Norway. While Norwegians have acquired most of their wealth from the glut of oil in the Black Sea they are one of the most progressive green countries on the planet. This man currently had 2 electric vehicles, (EVs), and offered positive information about the Leaf.

There was no increase in insurance cost, and am told that recharge prices are nominal with some free? Was quoted $5.00 for “fill up,” meaning recharge, and shall see. Though I wasn’t a fan of the black color it grew on me. Interesting fact… most cars purchased are either white or black according to the salesman. The dealership received 2 EV’s in the last 6 months, and they were unsure what inventory would be received for the remainder of 2023.

Something to think about……………

With the senate vote on the Climate Change Bill it has been another big win for Joe Biden this week.. It’s been stated that the House will vote on Friday, and that vote is assured. Leaf, here I come! Who cannot consider purchasing an EV with these kind of incentives. Have you driven an EV? It is sublime…………

Think I’ll go blue with next car. I want to match my politics.

Listening to the pundits and polls over the weekend news feeds I hear repeatedly the Dems are going to loose their majority mid-term. They speak of Biden’s low approval numbers, inflation, and this, and that rhetoric but abortion is the issue. This is being swept under the carpet and not too fast boys, have a little secret tale to tell.

In another life while an administrator for the NYS Department of Corrections, I visited prisons throughout the State. It was during this time that Hill was running for the Senate. Most of the gals who work for the prison system are married to correction officers. On prison visit after prison visit I heard the same “secret” from these women. “My husband doesn’t know it, but I’m voting for her.” She won big in this election.

Women can be very secretive when needed, but one thing is certain…

They get the job done.

CNN, MSNBC, CBS, and Siena can poll all they want, but this is the issue on the ballot this year. Prior to Kansas voting the polls were 46 to 47% in favor of this issue. End vote: it won by almost 20 percent.

Numbers don’t lie.
