In their defense, the Buddhists did add a very attractive Nirvana to sweeten the deal.

I use the Logseq app on my phone and computer and synchronize data using Google drive. Obsidian does the synchronization for you, but costs a small amount if you are averse to costs. I like it because I can organize things organically, using tags, and create pages for topics that I plan on revisiting many times.

Hey. I'm so happy to hear that you are back doing music! Your happiness and joy means everything to me!

The rest of your message reads as though you think you failed at something, but that really isn't possible. You are amazing. If you ever feel like life is beating you down, it probably means you are trying to force yourself along a path that isn't the right one for you. Long before you get to this point, please stop and look around and ask yourself if this road is even the one you are supposed to be on. There is absolutely no shame in deciding that you need to backtrack, but there can be great suffering, for yourself and those around you, if you keep trying to fit yourself to something that isn't you.

Make music.

Have friendships.

Only worry about money to the extent that you need it to survive. All other efforts should be put into joy and connections.

I'm very proud of you.

Edit: I thought of something else I needed to say. Don't worry at all about the larger world.

In fact, it is best just to pretend it doesn't exist. Live small. Love everyone, even the assholes. Realize that their actions are born of fear. Do right where you are. If everyone stopped worrying about things outside of their immediate scope and instead focused on performing right actions where they are, the world would be better, but you can't control everybody. You can only control you. Focus on the things you can improve and try not to know anything about the rest. You will be happier and better for those around you if you do.

The ABRP app that I'm using to route plan asks me this question every time I charge, so I've become more aware of it on this trip. The Flying J/EVgo chargers are pull through and will accommodate a trailer. Maybe prefer those in whatever routing app you use?

I love this thing! I've had mine since 2018 and I'm starting to consider upgrades, but none of the new crop of electric vehicles is nearly as compelling as this.

I have the 94 Amp hour BEV, without the gas range extender. On a good day I have 130 miles of range if I don't take it on the interstate. At 75mph, like Texas and New Mexico, I have about 90 miles.

I'm currently driving my BMW i3 from Cincinnati Ohio to Flagstaff Arizona (posting this from Albuquerque). This was impossible only a year or so ago. There have been a couple of times when I was nervous about distances between chargers, but the, 'A Better Route Planner', app makes it foolproof. Especially if you connect it to your OBD2 port.

I'm familiar with chinampas, but have never seen a cutaway showing the floating. How is that done? Gases from the breakdown of biological matter?
