Husband's call:
"Honey it's me. I don't want to alarm you, but I was hit by a car as I was leaving the office. Paula brought me to the hospital. They've checked me over and done some tests and some x-rays. The blow to my head was severe. Fortunately, they don't think it caused any serious brain injury. However, I do have three broken ribs, a compound fracture in the left leg tibia and fibula, and they think they may have to amputate my right foot."
Wife's Response:
“Who's Paula?

Where is all the food that was in the pressure cooker? Inquiring minds want to know....
Everywhere!Where is all the food that was in the pressure cooker? Inquiring minds want to know....
I friend was canning pints of beans in his basement on a turkey fryer burner when he ran upstairs to do something and got distracted… luckily the pressure valve blew out but when it was all over he said every jar was shattered and there wasn’t more than a cup of water left in the pressure cooker. Bean paste and bits of glass were plastered to the ceiling and the house smelled like canned beans for a week.
My mom had 3 sizes of pressure cookers, probably manufactured after 1960. I learned to cook with them, and never had a problem. Hers had a variable weight to determine the internal pressure. Once the pressure hit the indicated value, steam was vented.
I have 2 which were manufactured after 1980. Both have safety valves and can't explode.
Unless it's really ancient, exploding a pressure cooker takes effort.

Not quite true. The station is hooked up to the grid so it gets electricity most of the time from wherever the grid is getting it which is a mix of renewable and fossil fuels. However with 98 charging stations that particular station just off I-5 gets very busy on holiday's and some weekends and the grid can't supply enough demand evidently for that many EV's all at once trying to fast charge a battery in 20 min time so the diesel generators are for backup capacity only. Not all day every day use.
