Electric Trucks and A New Shade of Cat

 A couple of Monday morning bits of information that you may or may not find interesting.

When we were at the park this morning ready to walk we saw a very strange looking vehicle. I didn't get a picture but here is one from the 'net.      Also this explanation......

 The 2025 Tesla Cybertruck looks like nothing else on the road, but look past its geometric design and you’ll find a fairly capable electric truck teeming with technology and satisfying performance.
Tesla estimates that the Cybertruck can go from zero to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds, and it has a top speed of 112 mph. 


Did you know that a new cat colour has officially been discovered?
It's called "salmiak" or salty liquorice. The cats have hair strands that start out black, and become white the further they grow from the follicle. It turns out the unique colour  is caused by a recessive mutation.

The pretty black, white and grey shade is named after a popular snack food in Finland where this new colour of cats had its beginning. 

Meanwhile I'm struggling to get my laundry done with no manual for the new washer and the one on-line not very helpful.  I'll be back soon.

 

Thanks for visiting

  2. We think the Tesla cybertruck is a joke, strictly a vanity vehicle. Maybe it can go fast, but what can it haul?
    Interesting cat.

  3. Did you know? Around here, August 8th is celebrated as Cat Day. This date was chosen because it coincides with the peak fertility period for cats in the northern hemisphere, when temperatures and prolonged sunlight increase their activity and reproduction. The main objective of this celebration is to remind society of the importance of respecting and loving these animals, as well as to raise awareness about sterilization to control feline overpopulation and prevent abandonment.

  4. I sure do love your header photos! Right up my alley.
    That is a very pretty cat. The coloring is certainly unique.
    Cyber trucks, yuck. There's one or two running around here. I guess they're the new Hummer? Those were so popular for a while, but now we rarely see one. Jeeps are the hot item these days.

  8. Good luck learning your new washer. So many things come without manuals these days, I don't get it.

  9. These days things don't seem to come with proper instruction manuals... just a qr code to scan or a web address!
    I love the cat.

  11. Someone in my neighborhood drives one of those trucks and it looks really weird, maybe a tad pretentious. I've got my washer going right now - hope you have yours working hard soon, too!

  12. Thanks for sharing the bit about the new cat color. It is frustrating how the new appliances these days do not come with operating manuals and they aren't very user friendly either. Good luck with your new washer.

  15. Aren't those Tesla's? Unusual looking, for sure!
    Nothing on YouTube to help you? It's my go-to spot for all things learning, these days.

  16. I sure don't like the looks of those Teslas, just my opinion. I do like the coloring of the cat, so unique. I hope they become popular and begin to show up in other countries. Hope you're enjoying a good day.
