It starts our innocently enough at first…
Are you the kind of person who pushes the gas tank to empty?
Or do you get down to a quarter of a tank, and then fill up right away to keep it full?
Me, I like to push it. My wife, she likes to fill it up, and keep the tank full.
Now, I’m not against her policy; it just seems like you’re going to spend a lot more time at the gas station doing it that way. Why worry about nothing?
Is this some sort of philosophical difference? Do we see the world through different lenses?
What does it all mean?

I fill it, because I used to push it until I ran out and had to walk for MILES in the COLD and RAIN and DARK. Which is to say, I fill it before the little warning light comes on, because I learned my lesson.
Oo! New character!
You get a couple of new characters this week. In fact, one of them may interest you E.
I’m guessing that the Furnace Goblin gauge goes from “Slavish” to “Truculent”?
Me thinks the steam heads would have a belt driven mechanical, somewhat like a music box that would sound an alarm more complicated than a simple “ting”.
Better yet, all the cool kids gots ta have an air horn. With a boiler full of fire and plenty of H2O, a steam whistle would make the cab of the SteamCrow like a tug boat /freight train steam whistle!
I used to have a Nash Rambler that had a speeding alarm. You could slide a lever in the speedometer and when you met or exceeded that limit a “ting” alarm would sound. Why that is not in every car made today really torques me.
(That same car had a rubber ball siphon on the floor that you would pump with your foot to squirt warsher fluid on the windshield. Analog is good and digital is not always better. Did you ever drive a vehicle with “three on the tree”?
half empty/ half full. You don’t know what you’ve gots, till its gone.
Ethan – Wise.
Majic13 – I don’t want to say, but I’m glad somebody wondered what that meant.
SmilinPhx – I once drove an old 40′s work truck that had windshield wipers that you had to turn yourself by moving the little handles back and forth. A steam whistle would be terribly inefficient wouldn’t it? Well, whatever.
I like the cruddy little “tinc” sound for an alert! So tiny and non-eventful, as if it were supposed to trigger something else.
