Main Highway South Of Trenton, ND, To Be Closed For Several Days -- April 22, 2019 -- Earth Day? -- T+10, Part 2 -- Chariots On Fire

Road closure: you are on your own --

 "There will be no signed detours posted, and drivers will have to find an alternate route."

The main highway south of Trenton will be closed as of tomorrow morning and will remain closed several days. Routine maintenance on a BNSF railroad crossing south of Trenton -- the Marley railroad crossing -- will take a couple of days. Again,

"There will be no signed detours posted, and drivers will have to find an alternate route."

I think the only alternate is County Road 5 south of State Highway 2. Unless you are riding a horse.

Shore Notes

Social security: it's hard to follow the numbers, but apparently by the time I'm in a nursing home, SSA will only be able to pay 80% of benefits. Okay. No link. I'm sure the story is easy to find almost anywhere. SSA puts out an annual report. Will you still love me when I'm 94?

When I'm Sixty-Four, Beatles
Earth Day: I must have missed it. Didn't see a thing. Normally it's a big deal, but apparently not this year -- didn't see the usual folks out picking up trash along the Texas highways. Still using plastic straws at McDonald's and Starbucks.

Chariots on fire. Wow, I haven't used "chariots on fire" in a long time, but apparently Tesla is investigating after a Model appears to catch on fire. Video on the net. No link. I'm sure it's easy to find the story. Model S parked in a covered garage. SpaceX had an anomaly over the weekend also; resulted in a fire with smoke seen from miles around.
