I hate winter.
That has nothing to do with my muse. I just wanted to say it.
While I was sheltering in place from the cold I went down a rabbit hole on YouTube about fire trucks. Apparently over the last 20-25 years there has been immense consolidation in manufacturing of fire trucks. Unfortunately, this has not led to economy of scale. Prices have gone up and lead times are longer.
I try to attend or watch the Municipal budget hearings. They don’t just discuss numbers, you get to learn the goals and intentions of the town, and issues that affect how the town runs, and why. One issue is police cars, the price has gone up to buy and outfit them, and the lead times for cars is long. Everyone is dealing with this I guess.
