I think this is awesome news. I was blown away when i saw this vehicle first on YouTube last year. If i ever learnt to drive something like this would be my choice, even though I wouldn't really need a van.

Obviously another remarkable thread.
As a menswear salesman for most of my life I learnt never to judge a man on what he wore in to the shop, only maybe on what he wore on the way back out.

A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

All you want to do is use me
But my answer, yeah to all that use me stuff
I, I, I yes I want to spread the news
That if it feels this good getting used
Oh you just keep on using me
Until you use me up

Hits you when it's too late
Hits you when you're down
It's a fool's game

Standing in the cold rain

Rolo threw up on my bedding yesterday, I stripped the bed and put it in washing machine. It wasn't until night that i remade bed with new sheets only to find i had accidently swiped up my reading phone and washed it with the dirty sheets 🤦. An expensive loss and a phone in small pieces.
