Less to do with the grid, more to do with geography and environmental threat to above ground infrastructure.

This is a waste of time IMHO. 1. No medical mutilation of minors (gender affirming care should never alter the body of a minor before there is a fully developed frontal cortex). 2. No compelled speech (you may choose your pronoun, but you cannot compel others to refer to you by a pronoun that is not factual). Frankly I couldn't care less about the rest of the idiocy.

As someone who used to drive 89 regularly year round my opinion is one should always mind your momentum. Beware of the worst common denominator (other drivers). Knowledge of the microclimates and geographic peculiarities of the sections of 89 that can be counter to momentum management are key. I used to drive ships (US Navy). Imagine something that weighs 1000s of tons and has no brakes. This mind set is what kept us out of trouble 😊
