That in white would be a cool toilet for my garage bathroom! I suspect it is an AI image, but still a cool idea. I suspect Porsche would not be happy with it.

Excelsior Henderson assembly line in their brand new factory built by Ignaz Schwinn in Chicago.





Pictured is the original two-track plank road across the Algodones Dunes of Imperial County, California as featured in the September 1950 California Highways & Public Works. The original 6.5 mile long two-track plank road would be completed by April 1915 and would fall under the maintenance of the California Highway Commission by the following June. The plank road in the Algodones Dunes would become part of Legislative Route Number 27 as part of 1916 Second State Highway Bond Act.
During 1916 a pine-based eight-foot-wide plank road was placed in the Algodones Dunes as a replacement to the original two-track configuration. The plank road would be improved in 1924 when an eighteen-foot-wide Redwood based segment was placed. The plank road was replaced by a hard surfaced asphalt highway during August 1926. The hard surface highway in the Algodones Dunes would become a segment of US Route 80 during November 1926.

"Good to get one of the first Cybertrucks to show off to all my friends," Horacio mused. "Certainly not great to get back in line for a two year wait to get another."

Tomorrow Island (Russia) and Yesterday Isle (USA) are just three miles apart but there's a 21-hour time difference between them. This is because they sit on either side of the International Date Line which passes through the Pacific Ocean and marks the boundary between one calendar day and the next.








The earliest version of a mobile phone was first created in 1946, it was called a “mobile radiophone service.” Motorola in conjunction with the Bell System, operated the first commercial mobile telephone service in 1946 as a service of the wire-line telephone company.
