Can Cara refrain from the rude and insulting sounds and comments of exasperation anytime anyone talks about sci-fi pop culture references? Kthxbai

I had the same LotR thought about the Earendel star when I first read about it. I think the reason it sounds familiar to you is because Frodo is given a phial by Galadriel when they leave Lothlorien, and the phial contains the light of Eärendil's star. "I give you the light of Eärendil, our most beloved star. May it be a light for you in dark places, when all other lights go out."

In the U.S., there are four end-use sectors that purchase or produce energy for their own consumption and not for resale: The residential sector includes homes and apartments. The commercial sector includes offices, malls, stores, schools, hospitals, hotels, warehouses, restaurants, and places of worship and public assembly. The industrial sector includes facilities and equipment used for manufacturing, agriculture, mining, and construction. The transportation sector includes vehicles that transport people or goods, such as cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, trains, aircraft, boats, barges, and ships. Commercial - 39% Industrial - 33% Residential - 22% Transportation - 26% https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/use-of-energy/ Agriculture accounts for about 1.74% of total U.S. energy consumption https://www.ers.usda.gov/amber-waves/2017/januaryfebruary/energy-consumption-and-production-in-agriculture

I am getting urgent messages that claim to be from a bank where I never had an account. Also, tons of mortgage refinance offers all the time, and I have never had a mortgage.
