dakota shook his head with a slight frown, "call it a personal vendeta." he wasn't entirely sure how he was going to deal with his knuckles right now so decided to tuck them away in his hoodie pocket. he did appreciate that she was trying to lighten his mood a bit and took a deep breath in. "just had a lot on my mind recently with everything that happened is all."

In 1970, Colonel Crawford was forced to retire from his position as head of the secret military division dealing with aliens after being fooled by a hoax. One of his sons, however, believed he had a clue to a real alien artifact in Alaska. Meanwhile, due to his multiple abductions, Jesse Keys had developed a serious drug issue. While recovering in a VA hospital he fell in love with one of the nurses. (“Acid Tests", Taken, TV)

In his review of the Springfield Model 2020 Boundary rifle for The Armory Life, Wayne van Zwoll, an experienced hunter and firearms expert, praises the new bolt-action rifle for its blend of classic style and modern features. The Boundary is a sibling to the original 2020 Waypoint and stands out with its internal magazine and refined dimensions which make it easier to handle. It boasts a carbon-fiber stock, stainless receiver, and TriggerTech trigger, with a notable accuracy guarantee of .75 MOA. During range sessions, the rifle demonstrated impressive accuracy with a variety of commercial loads, shooting sub-minute groups. Offered in multiple calibers including .308 Win., 6.5 CM, and various 7mm and .30-caliber options, the Boundary is deemed a well-balanced, accurate, and powerful rifle suitable for diverse hunting challenges, solidifying Springfield Armory's reputation.

The original members of the Harlem Globetrotters (then the Savoy Big Five) with the team’s founder and coach Abe Saperstein.

On January 7, 1927, the Harlem Globetrotters basketball team travels 48 miles west from Chicago to play their first game in Hinckley, Illinois.

The Globetrotters were the creation of Abe Saperstein of Chicago, who took over coaching duties for a team of African-American players originally known as the Savoy Big Five (after the famous Chicago ballroom where they played their early games). At a time when only whites were allowed to play on professional basketball teams, Saperstein decided to promote his new team’s racial makeup by naming them after Harlem, the famous African-American neighborhood of New York City.

The son of a tailor, Saperstein sewed their red, white and blue uniforms (emblazoned with the words “New York”) himself. The lineup in that first game, for which the Globetrotters were paid $75, was Walter “Toots” Wright, Byron “Fat” Long, Willis “Kid” Oliver, Andy Washington and Al “Runt” Pullins.

The Globetrotters won 101 out of 117 games that first season and introduced many Midwestern audiences to a game they had not seen played before. As owner, coach, manager, publicist and sometimes even substitute player, Saperstein worked overtime to book games for his team. By 1936, they had played more than 1,000 games and appeared in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Michigan, Montana, Washington and North and South Dakota. (The Globetrotters didn’t actually play a game in Harlem until the late 1960s.) Their first national championship appearance came in 1939, when the Globetrotters lost to the New York Renaissance. That same year, the team began to add the silly antics they later became known for, including ball handling tricks and on-court comedic routines. The crowds loved it, and Saperstein told his team to keep up the clowning around, but only when they had achieved a solid lead.

For context this is Allie's first Halloween and Andy's been explaining it all day and Dakota is afraid of vehicles because he's from the 1500s hope that helps

Andy is @kiwi-smoothi's little guy :3

Excerpt from this story from Politico:

One of President Joe Biden’s signature climate initiatives is on the clock.

The Department of Energy is racing to close $25 billion in pending loans to businesses building major clean energy projects across the country. The push is one of Biden’s last chances to cement his climate legacy before President-elect Donald Trump takes office next year under the promise of shredding Democratic spending programs.

The department’s Loan Programs Office emerged as one of Biden’s most potentially powerful tools for greening the economy, making billion-dollar deals to restart a nuclear power plant in Michigan, fund lithium mining in Nevada, and build factories for churning out electric vehicle components in Ohio and Tennessee.

But it faces an uncertain future under Trump, who as president backed only one project under the program and proposed slashing the office’s budget. And Trump’s recent pick to lead DOE, Chris Wright, is a fracking executive who has criticized the use of “large government subsidies and mandates.”

That sets up a high-wire act in the closing weeks of Biden’s presidency — both for DOE and for energy companies seeking a financial lifeline from Washington.

Of the 29 loans and loan guarantees the administration has announced, 16 have yet to be completed. They include $9.2 billion for an EV battery project in Kentucky and Tennessee, a $1.5 billion guarantee for sustainable aviation fuel production in South Dakota, and $1 billion for electric vehicle charging infrastructure nationwide.

“There’s nothing like seeing your own coffin to get you moving faster,” said Andy Marsh, president and CEO of the hydrogen company Plug Power, which hopes to close a $1.7 billion loan from DOE.

Plug Power produces electrolyzers and other components needed to make hydrogen from electricity, a zero-emissions source of energy that could take a hit under Trump. The DOE loan would provide funding to help the company build up to six “green hydrogen” plants.

Marsh said he’s aiming to lock in the loan guarantee “before Jan. 20th” — when Trump will be inaugurated.

“We know that it’s in our best interest to have that resolved by then,” he said.

The pending loans, some of which were announced almost two years ago, preview a potential fight under Trump: pitting efforts to reduce U.S. dependence on Chinese imports against Republicans’ desire to cut spending. The loans stem from Biden’s wider effort to spur a green building boom to erode China’s clean energy dominance and slash planet-warming pollution.

"that explains a whole lot," dakota chuckled, "so you've been making all your own stuff with the bee's you keep? that's really dope." he laughed now about the joke she made of the movie because he did think it was a little funny. "what gave it away?" dakota added on, "but yeah technically, it's this whole thing and honestly i think the actual kissing booth was in it for maybe like ten minutes? i couldn't tell you i barely remember the movie myself."

"Well" Andy started frowning lightly she guessed she didn't really have a work space, "I kinda work at home mostly. That's where the apiaries are. And my garden. And the chicks." She laughed. "So yeah I work at home and then sell stuff to the market and bars. I'm what they'd call a business owner. Even have a card for it." Andy nodded her head towards the table with her produce there was a little pile of handmade cards there. "The movie?" Pandora frowned lightly, "nope, not seen that. But let me guess it's about a kissing booth?" She laughed melodically, really tickled by this little joke.

In 1991, Eric Crawford used to head a secret division of the military dealing with alien affairs but that position vanished when the aliens retrieved all their artifacts, especially the ones from the Roswell, NM crash. Crawford is asked to help the government when the payload aboard a space shuttle mission vanishes. Crawford recruits his daughter to help him in his work. Elsewhere, multiple abductees Charlie Keyes (a third generation abductee) and Lisa Clarke (the daughter of a Starchild) meet during one of their abductions. After that abduction Lisa discovers she is pregnant. (“Charlie and Lisa” Taken, TV)
