I thought a Romanian court just over-ruled the election court and put him back on the ballot.
That court apparently had no jurisdiction to do so. That is what grok tells me
re: Refinery closures increase uncertainty about California’s fuel future

Most fuel is sent via pipeline and blended for each distributor. Not many refineries blend and distribute direct to the pump. Exxon br blends and distributes to exxon branded stations. I believe everything else is sent to the pipeline network (colonial, plantation etc.)
Interesting, Chevron in Pascagoula has all the additives for various brands. Truck driver filling his tanker swipes his card and the appropriate additives are mixed into the stock.

I’ve said this for years the only reason we have fuel price spikes from catastrophic events are from 51 different cocktail blends. If we chose one national standard for fuels then it could just be transferred from one state or region to the next.
I had no idea there was such variance, glad you posted. Interesting tidbit, the only difference between the gas at different stations within a region is the additives. Their trucks all fill at the same refineries and the additives are added at the fueling point. So that means a shell station could be filling at a Chevron refinery etc…

Would grow bags be a suitable substitute? I’m in north MS, so I’m a little worried about them drying out in the summers.
I like them and they are economical. First summer incoming so can't comment on drying out just yet. For what it is worth, they don't gush out of the sides when watering so they do hold moisture in to some degree.
There is a claim that air having access through the fabric has benefits to the roots.
TLDR: Fabric bags are my go-to from here on.

The business people that saw DJT was surely getting elected, and listened to him say he was bringing the tariffs, had 6-8 months to order extra stock. Some chose not to.
Don’t know if it comes into play or not as I don’t know the tax payment interval, but inventory taxes could be rearing its ugly head again. That’s a tax that absolutely needs to go as it kills resilience to adversity.

Thank you. Also I’m not a stucco fan either, but I can’t think of anything else in this spot based on the design.

Probably have to demo the old and redo. It was done rather badly at first.

Yep, I planted a few some years back and they are pretty big now. The dropped sticks are great for kindling too.

This is precisely why I’m Leary of a national constitutional convention as well. Until the states are cleaned up, I don’t trust what will come of it.

Update: there are signs throughout NOLA urging voters to go against all the amendments. Perhaps it’s a good thing i ended up voting for them all.

Even with the PAR report, amendment 2 is a cluster. I tend to abstain when I don't really understand the ramifications so the current plan is to not vote on number 2.
