I wear a contact, only one now. I used to wear two, but I was having to use cheaters to be able to read comfortably. I got tired of that. I asked my eye doc about what I could do, he said we could go with the bifocal path, but that would mean always wearing glasses, this is not a good thing for regular glasses, I tend to damage them. So he suggested wearing one contact for distance and no contact in the other eye allowing me to have near vision. The brain handles making one eye or the other dominant and everything is great. I will probably have to actually go to bifocals in the future, but it’s been fine for the past 6 years with only the one corrective lens.
 
Every time I go down to the Corpus Christi/Edinburg/McAllen area, I'm astonished because it seems like I see a half dozen a day.
I live in Tesla central. I see all manner of Tesla vehicles (that ugly-ass truck included) roughly every 2-3 cars. I don’t know why so many people buy them.
 
Saw a Tesla truck in the wild today. They look just as stupid in person.
We saw one a few days ago (probably the same one). They look ridiculously stupid in person. And boring. I was surprised just how boring it looks in person. It looks like a car that would be in an 80s movie about a soulless, dystopian future where all creativity is banned.
 
I've seen one so far. It was on the other side of the freeway, heading in the opposite direction, so I was not able to see the occupant, bumper stickers, license plate, etc.

I truly am the only one on this board that likes the cyber truck.

It's weird. I thought it looked dumb on the Internet but cool in person. Strangely I think all the other Tesla models look boring and bland; like an uglier Saturn.

Obligatory:
Musk is still a dipshit.
 
I dig the Cybertruck, it's like if Syd Mead had a stroke. That said I'm not gonna argue with people who think it looks hella dumb, because it does, I'm just into that :p
 
Aw, I just tried taking a video of Ruff kneading the blanket. He was "making biscuits.." But he stopped before I could hit record.

I guess he was making shortbread, instead.

Had to look his stuff up. Definitely elongated. The cyber truck looks like a few drawings I did as a kid. That should be a knock on the cyber truck, but I guess it matches my sensibilities.
 
There were motor vehicle accidents on both bridges this morning. I've never seen traffic as backed up on my route like I have this morning. I'd hate to be a driver in Halifax today. I still made it to work in 19 minutes, my usual time. I felt like shouting "SUCKERRRRRRRRS!" as I biked by the gridlock.

I filmed my ride on my GoPro, so I'll see about posting a private video later today.

Maybe you mentioned it before but I guess it's part of your workout that you don't drive via Wyse Road?

Yeah, I purposefully take a longer route to get more exercise. If I'm in a rush, I'll take Slayter St, since there are less lights and less traffic to deal with than Wyse. I usually only use Wyse to get on and off the Macdonald bridge.
