Most Under-Reported Story Of The Day -- July 15, 2021

Will Phil LeBeau cover this story? I doubt it, but if he does, he will call it "overblown."

Bolt: GM tells Chevy Bolt owners park it outside and away from structures. Link here

By the way, aren't most home-owned charging stations located inside the garage? Oh-oh.

Going swimming. Should hit 97 degrees today. Whoo-hoo. The last couple of days have been a bit cool, in the low 90’s and windy, making it feel cooler.

Solving Problems One Migrant Worker At A Time

This is pretty cool.

Unless you've been living under the Geico rock you are well aware of the over-supply of migrant workers coming to the United States, to the extent that the federal government, i.e., the United States Air Force, is transporting them across the fruited plain(s). 

When visiting southern California, I noted one could hire day workers in small packages, anywhere from one worker to three or four workers depending on the size of the job. The workers were always on display on street corners at major intersections.

But they say everything is bigger in Texas and one big box store is taking day-workers to a whole new level.

Just down the street from where we live, outside a big box, high-end, discount store, truckloads of migrant workers are now arriving. Instead of buying / renting by the handful, here in Texas one can rent / buy by the truckload. Of course that only makes sense: the projects are huge compared to what I saw in California.




I can't make this stuff up.

The Open.

I don't care for Phil Mickelson but I do admire him for showing up at every tournament, unlike Tiger Woods who always seemed to pick and choose what he would play. 

But at The Open on the opening day, Phil is dead last in a field of 158 golfers. Plus eight, no birdies, eight bogies through seventeen holes.

The leader? Six under. I think it's a safe bet to say Phil won't be playing the weekend.
