Cybersalt News

Oh look, Chicken Thursday - happy 4th of July to my US subscribers!

The cherry tree at Cybersalt World Headquarters is all picked - by the starlings, crows, robins, and especially racoons. The racoon was especially rude about it because he left all the pits in a pile (literally) by our pear tree. No wonder they wear masks!

Today's video share features giant harmonicas. I had no idea harmonicas came this big and I have been to Texas. Honestly I can't help but smile when I look at them being played. Listening? Well maybe not that much, but looking - definitely!

Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

No, I haven't fallen and can't get up! Our niece took this picture of Grandma Cybersalt and me as we tried to get pictures of a flower we had never seen before. This was during a stroll on a boardwalk in GooseBay-Happy Valley, Newfoundland, on our trip to the East Coast earlier this month. Susan wanted a picture because it was so tiny she could see it better on her phone, and I wanted a picture so I could ask ChatGPT what kind of flower it was (for those of you who are ornithologists, it was a White Violet.)

Today's video share is one of my all-time favourites that have been shared around since the internet was becoming a "thing." I think you will enjoy "Top Soccer Shootout Ever With Scott Sterling":

Sunday greetings, everyone!

On our recent trip, I only rented Tesla's for getting around. I did this because I wanted to learn more about them and what owning an electric car would be like, including the lifestyle of having to charge it instead of gassing up along the way. And, I also was attracted to give an EV a longer time test because they have become so polarized and politicized in our current culture. I have to chuckle at how many people might have judged me one way or another for "owning" a Tesla!

Even though there was a learning curve, I really enjoyed the Tesla (it was a model 3) and if I had the money I would buy one today. I enjoyed the tech, the quiet running and the acceleration. It is honestly the fastest accelerating car I have ever driven - and remember I have raced on the local speedway! That said, I also enjoyed setting the auto driving to the speed limit and enjoy many relaxed drives through the country sides we were travelling. As my age goes up, the price of electric cars is going to go down, so maybe someday I will be able to afford one and still be allowed to drive it, lol.

In an ironic twist, when we returned home and got in our 2007 Chevy Impala in the long term parking lot at the Victoria Airport, we discovered the battery was dead. After 2 weeks of driving an electric car, we had returned to a "no electric" car.

Today's video share is of an incredibly talented, polite, and obviously well raised child.

Sunday greetings, and Happy Father's Day to those who celebrate it!

Grandma Cybersalt and I are back from our trip, but not without some extra adventure at the end. Long story short, our first flight landed too late for us to catch our next flight which would have taken us the rest of the way home. The airline rebooked us for the the first flight the next morning, which left our best option being to sleep overnight in the Calgary Airport. I think airports have terminals because it is where comfortable sleep goes to die! Susan got a bit more sleep than me, as can be seen in this picture I took at 4:20am after I woke up too sore to continue. I spent the rest of the time watching movies on my phone.

So with that news, enjoy the rest of today's abbreviated digest!
