About This Blog

ScottAllen.com is a general purpose blog founded by Scott Allen. Articles and videos posted here are intended to share knowledge, drive out the pestilence of ignorance, and feed the good wolf.

We landed on the moon. Our planet is older than 6,000 years. Climates change. Hollow-Earthers and Flat-Earthers are lunatics — but I love to see them keep trying to prove their point. As for the Fermi Paradox. Are we alone in the Universe? That depends on how you define ‘alone’. Or ‘life’ for that matter.

Note to Americans visiting the UK: Uber in London is #useless. Seriously hail a cab. You can’t throw a cat around here without hitting one. And.. you’ll pay for it. 🫤

Boston could learn me a thing or two about what it means to be a good neighbor. It has that vibe. The people we’ve experienced in Boston; starting with the emergency room, last month..there is a self-sufficient kindness here that comforts me. ❤️#digginthistown

The geese in Boston are so smart they use the crosswalks. Though I think pressing the button was a challenge. #cute #urbanwildlife

Been told that my last comment possibly disparaged the ADT tech at my house today. That was not my intention. He stayed there until the garage-door-fix was done— an issue plaguing me for 2 months🙏 He was the best guy that’s been to the house. The sensors just suck. #nothisfault

ADT sensors around my house continue to give off false positives even after a tech was there for hours today…for the wrong thing. Sorry ADT you’re in the you-suck column today. If Avis can get better you can too. Ps my last experience with Avis was awesome. #tryharder

Final supercharge of the trip! Driving the Tesla from Boulder to Boston⚡️🕺🦾🎉🎉🥳🎊🍾🍾 I’m in Charlton, MA. That little event earlier with the bike rack seems like maybe an alien abduction. So freaky and yet… was it real?? Anywho… Fillerup!! My baby’s hold’n dinner.

Guilderland, NY is a NICE Tesla supercharging station. Right behind a mall with lots of food options. But that’s not what I want to talk about. On the way here my bike rack fell off the car— on the freeway🤯 AND 🙏 no one hit it. A PDOT guy helped me put it back on.#wtf

Utica, NY 4:08pm and a Wallgreens!! Just what I needed. Did I mention I forgot my toothbrush? 🫣 so close to Boston I can smell the chowda. Seriously I’m ready for a 🥃x♾. Timer says I’ve been driving for 35+hrs since I left Boulder. That doesn’t include the 2 hotel stays. 💪🏽

Okay, so it’s a pain in the butt, but you can squeeze that bike rack between the chargers. I mean I prefer not to do it. You’re just asking to snag your shit. The photo makes it look like I’ve got sooooo much room. But look at the stretch on that heavy cable?
