I think it's her blues-y vibe. That stuff tends to reign in the southeastern quadrant of the U.S.

Allegiant is a U.S. airline? Never seen or heard them here on the west coast. One Reason I love Alaska, never had a bad baggage issue with them and they have their out to you in the baggage area in 20 min or less promise or a bunch of free air miles. United is an airline I avoid like the plague.

Allegiant is out of Las Vegas as a headquarters. They have a weird route system that is good for people who can use those point to point routes. They also use secondary airports, like Clearwater-St. Pete instead of Tampa. I've never flown on them nor on Frontier. I flew on Spirit once and it was fine. My Big 3 rankings are: 1 United 2 Delta - American (tie) American has been coming up with decent domestic one-way fare numbers, so they're up from 3. I was on MIA-LAX on their big 777-300. It was a good flight and full. The cabin crew was all middle-aged guys. I've never seen that before, especially on a big plane. They gave out those delicious Biscoff cookies. One of the attendants was a super sassy Black guy. I later asked him for some more of those cookies. He told me they didn't have anymore. Later, I went to the back galley and another Miami-based flight attendant - he seemed like a Cuban guy - looked in a few bins and gave me a couple of those cookies. The Black guy was showy and hilarious, but obviously not the best he should be for that job. Whenever I have asked for an extra snack pack or two on ANY airline, they always give them to me!

An amazing singer from Australia. She even continued to perform when she was pregnant with her first kid. Love this song. You say she has a strong southern Twang, I just do not hear it, but listened to a few other songs. Not stuff I would normally listen too, but I still do not hear the southern twang in her voice, more of a mixed NYC voice imho.

I was thinking about Bonnie, whose face seems to tell a lot of stories, in a Nashville sort of way. I thought she was from within 250 miles from Nashville. Heck no. She was born in Burbank, CA ... L.A.'s San Fernando Valley! She ended up going to high school in the Hudson River Valley, north of NYC, and started out at Radcliffe (Harvard). It doesn't look like she finished. But, for those who bolted from the Harvards and Stanfords to pursue a vision and it worked out, more power to them. It usually doesn't turn out that way for the others and that's why we don't hear about them. I'm not a huge fan of Bonnie Raitt, as her stuff has too much twang in it. However, this is her best song, in my opinion, and I listen to it from time to time. See, I had her figured out incorrectly. Chalk one up for our boldest member who, more so than anyone here, had issues with my stereotyping. Go live in big cities and/or travel, and you'll be stereotyping in no time.

Delta was my go-to airline. Their service is still very good. I used to like the airline more when I lived in the Atlanta area and they hadn't yet merged with Northwest. It became way too big and they lost their unique hospitable "Southern" style, if you want to call it that. (But, with the way people are acting on planes, that could be one reason!) Also, among the Big 3 carriers in t the U.S., it handles baggage the best. In one survey, I saw that American was the worst, at .91 complaints per 100 bags. That's a lot! Delta's is about half that. Surprisingly, Allegiant scored the best among the domestics. Delta's frequent flyer program is now among the worst, in my opinion. Redemption of miles for flights is way, way higher than with United or American. I'm not flying Delta much anymore. Also, ITA Airways goes with Delta because it's SkyTeam. In less than a year, they'll be with Star Alliance, because Lufthansa is in this United-led group of airlines. United's program is the best of the domestic ones and the one I like to use. We do have Southwest to thank for another thing: one-way pricing. For the longest time, one-way pricing was prohibitive, sometimes costing more than round trip tickets. Southwest priced by point to point treks. Other low cost carriers that were sprouting did the same thing. This helped bring more reasonably one-way pricing to domestic airlines across the board.

OUCH, one of the early investors in Tesla and still a big stock holder has demanded Musk to resign immediately or else. Top Tesla investor issues brutal ultimatum to Musk amid stock plunge

It's an interesting headline to brag about, but getting 1,000V installed in places is going to be difficult. I see this type of charger being installed only at large volume travel centers on highways, not in a Walmart parking lot. Toyota's solid-state batteries using existing charging technology are a more practical solution to deploy.
