I finally saw a Cybertruck in person for the first time yesterday as I was walking my dog in my neighborhood. And today there's one parked a block from my house (possibly the same one as yesterday)

My dad is now apparently the mascot and muse for the pizza restaurant where he works. He's been depicted on their chalk sign twice this year.
![Picture of chalkboard sign that says "Pizza time!" There is a drawing of a white man with blue eyes and a white beard and hair wearing a blue hat, blue t-shirt, and black apron with a green peace sign on it. He is depicted holding up a sign that says, "Hi my name is John I heart Good Wood [the name of the pizza restaurant] Come meet me!"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pzvgjf5s3axwwqurr3dgnbtf/bafkreic6zktojpqoizxrmkqnubvycyevayrcahe3gotncfwsxzngj3xfna@jpeg)

I was looking at some marketing materials for an upcoming professional society event and came across this critter. I think this pharmacist needs more sexual harassment training.
