Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire

I don't track E15 prices but that seems really cheap. The last time I looked, it really didn't make financial sense for me to choose E15. Has something changed?
Hey don't look at me and BC, we were good with the way things had been going, don't need this cold snap they are talking about at the end of the week either.
My only bright look on it is it's already almost mid-January and the sun will only get higher.
Just gave my cat Tiger her yearly reminder that she's lucky to be an indoor only cat with a little snow to head/face. I did give her treats afterwards.

Decided to stick my head out the front door of our building to see the snow. How much it appears that we're getting can be deceiving with how the buildings are set up.
1) We have that nice "quietness" that comes with snow. You could hear what were probably private contractor snow plows in the subdivision next to us, but they weren't too loud.
2) Our hallway smells like cat piss. Ugh.

I think going from #1 to #2 there gave me whiplash.
Not quite the same. However I did the math. Ethanol has 33% less energy than pure gasoline. Since they are putting 5% less gasoline in E15 you have .33 x .05 = .0165%. So you would have to pay about $0.05 less (technically $0.0495) to break even. I think that is about the discount you usually get for E15. If they are continuing to give you a nickel discount on E15 when prices get much higher than $3.00 it makes less sense (since that nickel buys less fuel) and when prices get lower than $3.00 it makes more sense.
Feel free to check my maths...
Yeah that was something. Especially since United has since found five of their Max 9s with loose or missing fasteners as well.
My sister flies Alaskan out of SeaTac almost exclusively. Told her to be sure she's wearing her seatbelt at all times.
Our flight on Monday starts w/United (we switch to Turkish Air in Chicago). First thing I did was check the equipment being used on all of our flights.

This really should be one of the important messages coming out of this. If you are in your seat there is no reason not to have your seatbelt on.
We always do. But I know a LOT of people around us don't.
Wasn't there some weird flex on Air Force One years ago where no one wore their seatbelts (even on takeoff or landing) because it was the safest plane in the air (because it was carrying the President)? Or am I remembering a West Wing TV trope?
