Trump knows how to run a business. Countries are businesses. You
weren't
taught that, but it's true.
I wish Musk could take over when Trump is retired, but it's not to
be.

My guess is that Trump will keep Musk around, throwing him a small
bone
occasionally and trying to squeeze a few more bucks out of him. In the
end, he'll probably have him deported back to S. Africa. Why Musk
wants
to hang around with Trump is weird. It's like when Joe Walsh joined
the
Eagles or Sammy Hagar joining Van Halen.

Speaking of Musk, I saw a couple of Cybertrucks today. One was pulling
out of the mall and The other was turning into the mall. Those things
are like parade floats driving down the street - without a parade.

When that Cybertruck pulled out of the mall, I was straining to see what
kind of guy would drive such a thing. He was a guy that resembled Musk -
same haircut and age. I guess that would be the only kind of guy you'd
expect to see. He looked so tiny behind the wheel of that monster.

My neighbor offered us his car. It's a Transit Connect and it's pretty
goofy. It's a small cargo van with two seats and a cage in the back.
We'll probably take his offer. All we got to do now is get a couple of
great Danes for the back.

Those Transit vans are cool, the first runs were built in Tukyei!

The Transit might have been made in Turkey or somewhere in deepest,
darkest, Europe. All I know is that it wasn't built anywhere near here.
I'll have to figure out what to do about that back area. Perhaps I'll do
nothing at all. I always wanted a 2 seat car.

It has come to my attention that Teslas have the highest fatality rate
of any make of car. It's not a problem with the design of the car but
the design of the drivers. They have a problem with keeping their
mind/attention/focus on the road/steering/operation of their vehicle.
The good news is that at least it'll be a swift and complete death. With
the Tesla self-immolation mode, burial costs are kept to a minimum.

Those are some interesting videos. I'll have to check out more of these
conversions. I'm a little reluctant to call those things "vans."
