I use doggy mode all the time. Skinner's comfort zone is the car. If I leave him at home he is anxious and will misbehave while if I bring him with me and leave him in the car he just gets comfy in the back seat and naps until my return. If we are going out to dinner it is less stress to leave him in the car than at home. Anyway, it is one button to leave the car in dog mode and the display shows a dog wagging its tail and shows the inside temperature so people won't break your window. I can't use it if I have less than 50 miles battery left, but that hasn't been a big deal.

That's fantastic. I cowboyed a valet key in the ignition so my 2009 car ran and grown up (master?) key so I could lock my car and, later, open it. Dog mode sounds easier.

I need to find a dress to wear for my nephew's wedding and one part of my brain is saying why not spend a fortune now before US currency is worthless?

I just followed your link and that is so lovely! I can picture you in it and it is perfect. You just will have to be inspired to find many other occasions to wear it.

The rules against telework now are so strict that we basically should not be doing anything at home.

But I got my new work iPad, and in order to set it up, I need simultaneous access to a solid wifi connection, and to be logged into my work computer account on a laptop.

So I brought my iPad home and spent 90 minutes working from my kitchen table, logged into my work account.

this kinda sucks.

My friend with a Tesla is getting a bumper sticker that says "I DIDN'T KNOW MUSK WAS EVIL WHEN I BOUGHT THIS" or something to like that.

And she does find the self-park option very handy -- she's got mobility issues, so being able to get in and out with more room to open the door, et cetera, really helps her.

I keep saying I'm going to get "ASK ME ABOUT MY FRAGILE MASCULINITY" stickers printed so that I can sneakily add them to parked Cybertrucks.

We saw a Cybertruck yesterday that had apparently been left under a sprinkler system with well water. It didn't look like it could be fixed and the owner needs to embrace the rainbow look. We saw it from the highway so I didn't inspect it closely, but it was gasp worthy.

Sending birthday wishes out to Jon B. I've only seen him on FB, and I am not on there very often anymore, so missing him.

Unexpected All-Hands meeting this morning is unexpected! Here’s hoping it’s not a layoff announcement.

I think Kia/Hyundai do that too.

Thank you, Gud. They do! The Hyundai looks like it checks all my boxes. And the orange color rocks. I'm going to look at it.

Best wishes, Calli! Hope it's something benign.

A cybertruck followed me out of the parking lot yesterday. That is, we left at the same time, not that they waited around for me to leave so they could follow me. I really wanted to see who the driver was but I couldn't. It's gotta be one of the executives, right? Just based on how expensive they are. Our owner drives a Tesla but it's a red sporty thing and he always parks in his reserved spot. I know they headed the other way at the interstate than I do, but that's it.

We’ve had Hyundais before and they were really solid. Hope it’s your new dream car!
