Good morning world.
Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Can you see my nose in the middle of the picture?
Tonya went to bed and the Big Guy shut the lights off in the house.
He doesn't mind a dark house and will walk around without walking into anything. He has pretty good night vision for a human.
Tonya on the other hand. Not so much.
It is garbage day today.
I've been listening to the garbage trucks driving around the city.
At some point, those trucks will be converted to be electric garbage trucks.
You will not hear the trucks coming, until they do something else that creates noise. Like the compactor. Otherwise, garbage day will be pretty much silent.
Just like the city busses. There are a few cities out there, and they have converted their busses to electric.
The Big Guy can remember a time, when busses were electric.
There was a two rail system that they could only travel so far. They had these two rods that would reach up from the back of the bus and it would touch these wires. If one of the rods would jump off the wire, the bus would come to a stop. The bus driver would get out and put the rod back on the wire.
But the bus had to follow, where ever those wires went.
Now, the new busses, don't have to follow those wires, they can go where ever they need to. Then, at the end of the day, they plug them in to get a full charge and ready for the next day.
The Big Guy can't wait to get his electric vehicle. Gas prices are jumping up in price. But no where near the price of what he has seen in his travels with the Navy. Back in 2005, when he was in Norway, gas was over $3.00 a litre. it's about half that price in Canada now.
The Big Guy probably will not want to open the windows for me to stick my head outside and drool all over his car.
