CW: Rare timely photo, potentially mind-blowing
In a rare, serendipitous, moment captured on film (or whatever these pocket computers use now), a pick-up truck of the suburban species, the one never seen in the woods, is behaving like a truly wild pick-up truck of the rural species. Since this species split with the rural variety, encroaching on densely populated areas and consuming vast natural resources while seldom venturing off the smooth and safe streets of suburbia, this behavior is rarely witnessed. Automobilologists had long considered this behavior extinct in this species, and that loss of their never-used rear bed due to evolution would gradually occur. This photo casts doubt on that hypothesis. It remains to be seen whether the behavior will start expressing itself on a community wide scale, but one expert is quoted saying “There are only so many couches to drive around these days."

Sounds good to have a road that can charge EVs, right? Well, this one is kind of stupid, and here is why. First, Florida is beautiful, and this section of Florida doesn't need roads slicing and dicing valuable wildlife corridors. Second, there are train tracks that can charge cars, too. Train cars! As we "innovate" roads, they become more and more like trains everyday, making question whether they are in fact "innovations" at all. And, as always, this is my reminder that EVs will save the automotive industry but they will not save us.

Driver of this 4x4 felt it was acceptable to park outside cafe, in front of people and leave engine running while they ordered takeaway coffees.
Politely asked them to turn it off next time.
Interesting head space to have ‘save ledge’ beach stickers but think a diesel puking fumes at people for 5 minutes is ok.
