I pasted my headline "Big News from WeGo" (42%)  into a headline analyzer and this was thier suggestion -- 
"Unvieling WeGo's Exciting New Launch Don't Miss Out" (84%)

PS I'm still not clear as to what ridership may have to do with a recent bus stop shooting, but there it is for you to ponder.

Here/s the way David McCullough tells the story in Truman….
“HST, daughter Margret boarded the Ferdinand Magellan at Washington, DC Union Station…. Vice President Alben Barkley was there to see Truman off…
Shaking hands with Barkley, Truman said ‘I’m going to give those Republicans Hell…’ 

‘Daddy’, Margret chided, ‘mustn’t say Hell…”

Alton Brown of Good Ears Fame recommends hot water just off the boil! 
That’s your Kuregs’ Dirty Little Secret 
A measure of coffee meets the right amount of hot (not boiling) water slowly!
FYI/its called a “pour over device!
The typical user is more interested in speed and convenience. 
My objection to Kureg is the cost of those plastic delivery devices. Most of your coffee $$$ wind up in the trash. It pays for all that packaging. 
Here is another way to do it! Buy a single-serve device and a polycarbonate storage container. 
The freshness click goes into overdrive when the beans are roasted not ground. 
Yes, I know how good fresh ground beans smell. Alton Brown describes that aroma as “volatile” its a chemical term meaning fugitive not lasting!

Since the time of Joe Biden’s tenure on the Senate, every Supremean nominee has affirmed
“I will not interfere with a woman’s ‘right’ to choose….” Except of course Judge Bork!
He would not answer that question citing Judicial impartiality. He wasn't confirmed.
No single US President in my lifetime has appointed enough justices to sway the court one way or another.  I can only hope that we continue to dodge the bullet of a “dufus” appointment.

AI and Instant Coffee Share a Common Trait Neither of Them Leaves you Wanting More  
It's incomprehensible to me how users can spend so much money on a product to produce specious content like “generative AI”. 
Then I remembered the words of Fred Friendly 📺 executive who said; “No one ever went broke under estimating the  …American public.” 
Consider today's avatar and headline from weekend WSJ ( a paper that routinely publishes numerical data)

So now we have a “quartet” of I don't care what you want it's my way or the highway.

According to Accidential President Vice President Harry Truman was summoned to the White House by press secretary Steve Early at telephone at 5:25 EST on April 15. Elenore Roosevelt (then the first lady) informed VP Truman….
“Harry, she said The President is dead!”

They were searching for a bible to swear in Vice President Truman.

Freddie O'Connell is doing what our leadership does best — “if you can’t solve the problem — Change the Narrative — Our “unhoused” are not the same as homeless! We say there are fewer “unhoused” we have succeeded.
FYI/ the words finite and opportunity do not belong in the same sentence with "federal funding" -- they are not synonyms -- 
Here’s the offending line —-

“An all-access pass to sidewalks, signals, service and safety…..”

Translation — everywhere you go, metro will have its hand in your pocket — You must pay to walk the streets, and drive your car — A surcharge may be made for safe driving!

Not long ago I was reading a blog, about our power-grid, those new photo-electric cars (The Hybrids), this writer suggested that “power would be returned” to the grid when the “cars were fully charged”….
Yes, it’s true that if you have a “home generation system”, like a windmill your excess capacity may find it’s way into the power grid, but not from your Prius…
Here’s The 411/
The current coming into your home is “alternating current” (a gift Nicla Tesla) a storage battery is “direct current”, in other words the current is consumed in order to “charging the battery’.
There’s no “two way flow” of “opposing currents”….
Thomas Edision’s original generating plant is still in use, and one neighborhood of the big Apricot (Thank You Superman The Movie), consumes direct current.
We can thank Nicla Testla, and George Westinghouse for the development of “high voltage transmission”, and alternating current, which made “wiring the world feasible”.
