But Gary! You could charge your van for free in his garage! Except
you'd have to move to St. Louis and live somewhere near (hopefully not
in with!) John. Like you, I'd have to pass on his electric car suggestion.

Gotta ask him why he thinks there are electric car chargers all over the
place. Do you see many in or around where you live? I sure as hell
don't see any in the Beaufort, SC area. If my car runs out of gasoline,
it's readily available. My auto insurance includes emergency roadside
assistance so they'll bring me a few gallons of gas or tow it if there's
another problem.

An electric car that runs out of juice when I'm out shopping or parked
for a few hours at work? If it was dead there'd be no way of charging
it. Not buying the electric car idea.
