Rare highplanesdrifters Posted July 20, 2023 #17856 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Just had to share this one for all the birdlovers out there. 20230719_185013.mp4 Hummingbird party on Agave bloom. Well maybe not a party, more like a territorial dispute. 😁 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lois R Posted July 21, 2023 #17858 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Not sure if many/any of you heard, but Tony Bennett passed this morning......He was 96 and had been preforming for over 7 decades!!!! I loved him so much! Sadly, he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2016 but I remember seeing his last concert on tv with Lady GaGa.....it was fantastic (as he was). Tony, RIP. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was fortunate to hear him twice, live in concert. Amazing performer, including just a few years ago at the late stages of his awesome career. Love his "Left My Heart In San Francisco" song. What could be better??? THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/21/arts/music/tony-bennett-dead.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincslady Posted July 22, 2023 #17865 Share Posted July 22, 2023 It is perishing here in good old Lincs. UK. I have had the central heating on today! This time last year it was 40 C. Still preferable to being in Italy, Spain or Greece. Lola 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I ask if it is electric, hybrid, or neither of the above - and if it is, do you have easy access to recharging? Lola 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I ask if it is electric, hybrid, or neither of the above - and if it is, do you have easy access to recharging? Lola It's a hybrid. Roughly 60 miles of electric range from a full charge. We can charge it in our garage from the mains at cheap overnight rate or from our solar panels on a sunny day. Went to Norwich today. 150 mile round trip used all the electric plus 11 litres of petrol. The electric used cost about the same as 3 litres of petrol. So as a cost equivalent that equals about 50mpg. Obviously, journeys up to 60 miles will cost in electric the equivalent of 3 litres or about £4.50. Or less if solar. But, more importantly, it pushes out 489 bhp and goes like a scalded cat! It's a BMW X5 X-drive 50e M Sport.

lincslady Posted July 23, 2023 #17873 Share Posted July 23, 2023 I particularly like the scalded cat bit - and to be going at speed and getting 50 mpg is impressive too. My concern is that in general there are not going to be nearly enough charging points for everyone, at the present rate of progress. Today's Times says that spiffy new chargers are available in a few places, but the electricity companies can't get the power to them for quite some time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqtchas Posted July 23, 2023 #17874 Share Posted July 23, 2023 One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, “I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week”. The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a ‘thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door. Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replied, “I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week.” The cop was happy and left the shop. The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen doughnuts waiting for him at his door. Then a Member of Congress came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied, “I cannot accept money from. you. I'm doing community service this week”. The Member of Congresswas very happy and left the shop. The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen Members of Congress lined up waiting for a free haircut. And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the politicians who run it. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
