2024: Leas snow than normal

[dug]

Oh trust me, I have read all of your comments, here and on other threads about global warming and that it is "elitist" to suggest we can do something about it. I have no doubt anyone misunderstands your stance on this issue.

Feel better about that rant?

Again, I don't disagree with you, just wondering what reading newspapers have to do with it...

My stance is pretty clear: Those who believe themselves as having more importance, and smarter, because they have a certain number of degrees hanging on their wall that allows them to not care, nor engage, in the unwashed masses do more harm than good on most issues today. Believe it or not, many people have a hard time falling in line when they are mocked and talked down to. So, people who take that tact are harming their own cause than helping it.

The ones who really piss me off are the politicians and celebrities who tell us how we need to sacrifice, stop consuming more than what they decide “our share” is, and eat ******* bugs, while they fly around the world as the sole passenger their in luxurious private jets that produce as much CO2 as the airliners we’re not supposed to use even packed in like sardines. Who have multiple mansions that use more electricity in a day than I use in a month. Who’ll never do anything they demand we do. Who don’t want wind or solar farms spoiling their views but have no problems demanding the hoi polloi and plebs deal with the eyesores. How much CO2 do you think is created by flying Air Force One and all the supporting aircraft halfway across the globe so the President can give a speech or gladhand? Or all those private jets flying to Cannes for movie night and pics in front of a wall with sponsors’ names on it? Why not practice what you preach and give that speech or watch those movies via Zoom from the comfort of your “heat no higher than 74, AC no lower than 78” homes?

Download the map to your device, and then keep your device in airplane mode. I get 3 or 4 days with a newish Samsung doing that.

Even in airplane mode I get about 9 hours. Maybe I am taking too many pictures for my Parkinson's friend who wants the illustrated version of my running trip report.

I don't do any tracking and only have the screen as bright as needed. With Bluetooth on running a speaker in camp all evening and my headphones overnight, I was at 38% when I got back to my truck after a 24 hour trip this weekend.
