I don't know if Poalack lives in Texas or not, but I wasn't comparing, really. I was contrasting. Dust is a problem in Texas. Dust and heat. And that's what makes a carport installation attractive -- it isn't so high up off the ground, you can get to them to clean with a ladder or perhaps just a long pole.
But I have to agree with Wylie, that vertical installation looks ugly and retarded.
I recently watched a summary of what is publicly known about MH370 on Mentour Pilot, a compilation of radio pings from several different systems, engine health reports, passenger internet, etc. The accumulated evidence was that the cabin was depressurized at some point soon after it deviated from its usual path. Passengers would have been unconscious. Transponder turned off etc., and its path avoided air traffic control, threading the boundaries between countries. Not a theory but a fact, someone deliberately flew that plane off into the Indian Ocean…
the other reason for crop rotation is to deprive insects and other plant parasites of a steady host. 'diversity for diversity's sake' is stupid, but there are very real reasons to avoid monoculture in crops. (also note that it is not a good idea to rotate with weeds ...)
oh, yeah, well my Lenovo L430 has lotsa stuff you don't have. It's got a PCI card slot. and one of those CD players, the tray pops out if you hit the button. a VGA? connector, maybe? and a docking port connector on the bottom!
and: a removable battery! (for which i need a replacement, 'cos this one only holds a charge for about 2 minutes off the power supply)
