CT: I agree for now because of the range issue.

Hybrids will be the better choice, but the batteries issues will need to be solved.

Electric grounds tools is an excellent idea, and the best answer for me. I now have two chainsaws, one push mower and a heavy trimmer that I use, and my wife has a blower. No moving parts, and with the cost low on the implements, one can purchase enough batteries to keep it all working.

Another factor is that I can carry two sharp chainsaws into the woods, with one 40V and two 80V batteries in my backpack, where I can do some decent damage on small trees and brush.

Top factor besides few moving parts is a sense of quiet, which truly works for me. I pull the trigger and the equipment works, I take my finger off the trigger and instant quiet. I like that since I like quiet when I work, especially in the woods, where there are plenty of big bear in my forest. Bear will let you know when you get to close.

ANY court that denies a party a change of venue when that is necessary to their getting a fair trial is a kangaroo court. I hang my head in sorrow over the way the far left is destroying the integrity of American courts. Too much politics and too little justice.

Whether or not a court is a kangaroo court is based on its actions or lack of actions, not where it happens to be located.

For all the sophistic individuals who believe that Hussein Obama was a wise, competent and honorable public servant, I would advise that you be careful how you throw those thoughts around, especially when you speak these blind words around wise, competent and honorable American patriots, lest you be thought a fool of the non patriot variety.

Many of US have long memories when it comes to corrupt and dishonorable behavior.

US courts are not kangaroo courts you America hater.

Sorry, Bigot Bob, but on the Chauvin trial the two perspectives were either support of due process or support of a kangaroo court, and you clearly support the latter, as you do in other politically charged cases. Your Marxist perspective in not the only one.

Sorry but the white perspective is not the only perspective on this bit of history.

These are good examples of why dating Democrat women is often not just a great idea. Most of us are not into whips and chains, public urination, or starring in porn.

It I remember correctly, this is the trial where the protesters /rioters were at the ready in front of the court house.

On another note, CV, there is a Summer of George monument near Peace College on Wilmington Street.

As I recall, the venue was not changed for Chauvin's case, so the deck was stacked that he could not get a fair trial. That is what they are trying to do to Trump to try him in localities with highly politically charged juries that are highly unlikely to give him a fair trial. Ditto with judges that ethically should recuse themselves for bias but they don't.

So the "quiet part" that Bigot Bob wants to "say out loud" is thet Biden, Pelosi, and Hillary are suddenly not white? Is that now part of the far left narrative you project or one of those things only Bigot Bob can see, but normal people can't?

MP can rest easy. He sacrificed himself to stand up to a tyrant. Like McCarthyism, MAGA will end up a stain on this great country. MP did his job.

CV, so do you. I just say the quiet part out loud while sharing a different perspective. No need to clutch your pearls.
