Re: Idaho bill to provide free period products in schools fails - 5 days ago

QuoteRgrF They were not. Well, that explains why girls would slide something out of their lockers after checking in both directions down the school hallway and then slip the thing palms down to another girl who would then palm some cash to the first girl. Here I always thought they were dealing drugs, now I finally realize it was something more nefarious.

Using Ken Sp.’s link: There are three Superchargers on the Yucatán peninsula including Mérida and Cancún. The next closest Supercharger is in Puebla some 750 miles away. I suppose a person could charge along the way using 110v. Or have their Tesla hauled there.
