A while back there was a story that circulated about a 10 yr old named Elijah Hughes who had terminal cancer and his favorite Holiday was Halloween so he threw a party a month early so he could have a chance to celebrate.  Well our favorite QB crashed the party with an ice cream truck and made the kids day.  I just happened to think about that kid as we get close to his favorite holiday, and I stumbled upon this latest update (from about 4 days ago)

So I ask Panther nation, if you're religious, keep Elijah and his family in your prayers, if you're not, keep him in your thoughts.  Keep Pounding Elijah!

I love the responses, this is what Panthers Nation is at it's core.  Anyway, Just letting yall know, I did see an "update" only like 4 hours after I posted this, it just said there's no new news really to speak of, but Elijah is still pounding.  He does still faintly respond to his parents occasionally so he is there mentally still and all they really have left is prayer.  For anyone who has facebook who'd like to keep up with it, the facebook page I found is titled "Prayers for Elijah" if yall would want to check it out. It's stuff like this that really keeps everything in perspective.

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
