I'm glad it kept your attention! If I wasn't married I'd say yes to that mission in a heartbeat. You're welcome Lizelle. Thank you and I wish you a wonderful week!

Thank you very much @tonyes! We all have those moments when we feel like quitting. I've been at that point several times in the past nine years here (and my 30+ years writing, in general). My advice is

Thank you! The past couple of days have been decent—lots of sun!

So glad you connected with the story! Thank you!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks Michelle! I appreciate it. I try to throw a plot twist in all of my short stories. It's so much fun to play with. I may decide to expand on this too at some point, maybe serialize it. I hope you

That's exactly what I was trying to get the reader to feel—what it would be like to have that decision before you. I imagine they'll need all kinds of different people for that mission too, not just scientists

It's such a hard decision to try and figure out what to keep and what to get rid of. I'm very glad the things you don't want will be going to people who need and appreciate them. We've done this

Thank you Lizelle! It would be wonderful to meet you! If you visit I'll give you a ride in my Tesla and you can experience the car driving itself. Buying and selling homes definitely isn't an easy or quick

That is certainly the case here and the roads cause the cars to become less roadworthy. : (

Congratulations, dear friend! I'm so grateful to have met you and hope we can meet face-to-face someday. I'm excited for this new chapter of your life. I can't wait to see pictures of the new home!

I would have zero issues with these taxes if they were actually used for the purposes the government stated they would be used for and our roads were in good condition. I'm glad to hear Japan is doing

BTC price even reacts to anticipated inflation.

Basing the tax on weight would make sense. Like so much in a government bureaucracy, basing the tax on number of cylinders seems outdated. Weight is the excuse our State penalizes EV owners with that extra
