Remember NFTs? This was an early attempt to use the blockchain to create valuable works of art. It was an interesting, sci-fi sort of idea that was undermined by both functional concerns (digital images are hard to “own”) and the sad fact that most of the art was terrible. This didn’t stop someone from paying as much as $69 million for one.
The theme of today’s Morning Dump news round-up is that I’m kind of over it. Tesla released its earnings report and did its investor call yesterday, and the quick takeaway is that the company made a little more in revenue, but somewhat predictably earned a lot less from that revenue. Was the call entirely focused on short-term fixes for this? Nope. But CEO Elon Musk did talk about who should be in control of his “robot army.”
You know the company most likely to take a big bite out of Tesla in the United States? It’s probably GM. I know that sounds a little crazy, but the company is going to market relatively soon with LIDAR-equipped cars, and I think this is a very big deal.
Would you believe that Volvo is kinda heading in the right direction? The troubled Swedish automaker seems to have (at least temporarily) reversed some of its fortunes. Can Stellantis change its trajectory? Our old pal Carlos Taveres has some feelings about it!
Elon Musk Explains You Can Use Multiple Slurp Juices On A Single Ape
I usually listen live to the Tesla quarterly investor call or, if I’m otherwise engaged, shortly thereafter. This quarter, I wasn’t as interested, as the actual quarterly report kinda said everything I needed to understand.
Tesla made more money than expected, largely on the backs of big sales ahead of the sunsetting of the EV tax credit. At the same time, earnings were down. The company did generate a huge free cash flow for the quarter of nearly $4 billion, though I’m curious to see if that trend magically reverses itself next quarter.
My plan was to read through the call when I saw this headline from Wired: “Elon Musk Wants ‘Strong Influence’ Over the ‘Robot Army’ He’s Building.”
Ok, so it’s going to be another one of those calls. Wired provides a good explanation of what’s happening here, claiming it’s related to Musk trying to get a potential trillion-dollar payday:
Musk has also made it clear that he wants to get paid, a lot. In November, Tesla shareholders will vote on the board’s proposal to pay the CEO a remarkable $1 trillion over the next decade. The deal would also increase Musk’s stake in Tesla from 13 percent to a quarter. But Musk would only get that big figure—and the extra control—if he hits a series of ambitious metrics, including 20 million vehicles delivered, 1 million robotaxis in commercial operation, and an $8.5 trillion valuation. And also, 1 million Optimus humanoid robots delivered.
On a call with investors on Wednesday, Musk locked on to that last point to make his most threatening argument for a gigantic payday yet. “My fundamental concern with regard to how much voting control I have at Tesla is, if I go ahead and build this enormous robot army, can I just be ousted at some point in the future?” he said. “If we build this robot army, do I have at least a strong influence over this robot army? Not control, but a strong influence … I don’t feel comfortable building that robot army unless I have a strong influence.”
This may be political, and David may remove it, but I don’t think anyone should have a trillion dollars or a robot army. Also, I think humanoid robots are kind of stupid. I fear this is like the Cybertruck, where the idea is much more interesting than the actual product, and the market just ends up being smaller than expected.
I’m not anti-tech. Roboticization is real, AI is real, ADAS is real, and all of it is important. Tesla seems to have a lot of advantages here, but the overall story of Tesla is a company that continues to promise a lot of things and not deliver them. [Ed Note: I don’t think that’s the overall story. I think the overall story of Tesla is that it built world-beating EVs/infrastructure that literally revolutionized the car world. Also it promised a bunch of stuff it either didn’t deliver or was late on. -DT].
AI and robots will replace all jobs.
Working will be optional, like growing your own vegetables, instead of buying them from the store.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 21, 2025
Just this week Musk promised that AI and robots would “replace all jobs.” Maybe! That’s a future that is very appealing to people who think they’ll get to be historically rich from building AI and robots and, at the same time, are deeply uncomfortable with actual human people.
You can read through the rest of the transcript to see there’s a lot less addressing some of Tesla’s core issues, and a lot more talk about all the things that will happen, eventually, someday…
It’s all becoming a just a little boring to me. All the promises. All the talk of a utopia that sounds increasingly like the opposite. It’s settling into a drone and persistent echo that rings a lot like “slurp juices” to my ears.
GM Could Beat Tesla To A Self-Driving Experience I’ll Trust
There’s a split in the world of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) between people who think everything can be done with cameras and people who think you need advanced sensors like LIDAR.
I am firmly in the LIDAR camp. Cameras and basic ultrasonic sensors, radar, and super-precise GPS can return an experience that’s quite good as a sort of advanced cruise control. This is what GM’s SuperCruise does well.
Waymo, Volvo, and many Chinese automakers have turned to LIDAR-supported systems as the future for an experience that’s more like true self-driving.
GM announced last night that this is exactly where the company is going, starting in 2028 with the Cadillac IQ, which will get “eyes-off driving” on the vehicle for highways.
From a GM press release:
Unlike vision-only systems, GM’s approach is built on redundancy with lidar, radar, and cameras integrated into the vehicle’s design. At the core is sensor fusion: the lidar, radar, and cameras build the perception layer; real-world driving data trains the decision-making model; and high-fidelity simulation validates performance across rare or hazardous scenarios. This provides a safe, reliable, and highly capable eyes-off autonomous system.
GM’s foundation in Super Cruise proves that this kind of complex driver-assist technology can scale safely. Since its debut in 2017, Super Cruise has expanded to 23 vehicle models, enabling more than 700 million hands-free miles with zero reported crashes attributed to the system.
The other big feature is “conversational AI,” which is something that’s becoming more popular in China, where consumers are using a lot more voice activation to solve HMI issues.
Volvo Is Kind Of Killing It Right Now
If you’ve gotten this far and are yearning for a Butlerian Jihad, then this next joke will appeal to you. Hakan Samuelsson, the automotive CEO who sounds most like a character who was actually around for the Butlerian Jihad, has a reason to celebrate.
The Volvo leader retired from the company, only to be dragged back to help save it from the abyss. His big strategy was just to cool everyone’s jets and cut back on employees. That’s not a long-term strategy, but it seems to have worked great in the short-term.
Volvo Cars, based in Sweden but majority-owned by China’s Geely Holding (GEELY.UL), said it made an operating profit before one-off costs of 5.9 billion Swedish crowns ($627 million) in July-September, soaring above analysts’ consensus forecast of 1.6 billion crowns, according to Bernstein.
This was despite a 7% drop in sales, with fully electric cars still accounting for less than a quarter of the total.
Volvo Cars shares were up 32% at 0842 GMT, on track for one of their strongest daily performances on record and returning to levels not seen since July 2024.
Volvo is weirdly in a decent position because it has a factory in the United States that exports cars. It sounds like the plan is to use it for more domestic production of hybrids, which makes sense.
Ex-Stellantis Boss Says He Sees Company Being Broken Up In The Future
Ex-Stellantis CEO Carlos Taveras, pictured above, is back in the news. He’s got a new book out (it’s only in French currently) that can be translated to “A Captain in the Storm,” which is hilarious given that I’d argue he actively steered his ship further into a tempest.
Oh well. Someone at Bloomberg read it and pulled this little bit out:
Carlos Tavares, in a new book, says that the group’s French, Italian and US operations might have to go their separate ways if the maker of Jeep sport utility vehicles and Fiat cars fails to withstand pressures from various stakeholders in its home bases.
Within Stellantis, “I am worried that the three-way balance between Italy, France and the US will break,” Tavares said in a book published Thursday in France. The group’s survival as a standalone company will depend on management paying attention to unity “every day” given the risk of being pulled in multiple directions.
Tavares seems to be complimentary of his successor, Antonio Filosa, but added this:
“With me gone, I am not sure that the French interests that I always had at heart — whether you believe it or not — will be as well defended,” Tavares said in the book.
Never change, Carlos!
What I’m Listening To While Writing TMD
Sudan Archives is back with a very club-inflected album called The BPM. The song “A Bug’s Life” is a good entry and feels like a very throwback ’90s electronic song, layered with the artist’s energetic violin playing. I dig it.
The Big Question
What is your experience with ADAS systems? Do you have a car with one? Have you driven a car with one? Have you never even used cruise control?
Top photo: Tesla/The Boring Company
My company specializes in repairing and calibrating ADAS systems. Factory systems are generally designed well and set up to help drivers succeed. None are good enough yet to trust.
As an aside, there’s a lot of dangerous things being done in the ADAS aftermarket, particularly with post-collision repair. Tread carefully. I wouldn’t buy a used car with them without having a full recalibration done to OEM-spec and, outside of a very very few companies with OEM equipment, basically if a dealer didn’t do the work, it probably wasn’t done properly. Have fun sleeping at night knowing there are plenty of cars out there driving around with their forward collision sensor pointed at the sky…
I know this word is considered a slur now so I’m sorry, but if you believe Musk then you are actually retarded. The dumb shit he continually gets away with is insane. Everyone that supports him is insane. You shouldn’t get to vote on what color socks you wear, let alone if some fucking wannabe Nazi gets to be the world’s first trillionaire.
Thank you for validating my childhood opinions. It’s going through absurd hoops to make less-effective machines just because some people have an irrational demand, “make robot look like person”, or whatever.
Also, controlling computers by talking to them (like Alexa and such) is stupid.
I can’t see the range of available commands, I need to think about syntax and phrasing and run my thoughts through “social” skills, just to get a delayed and imprecise response that could have been the flick of a switch, a sequence on a keyboard, or the click of a mouse. It’s the worst possible option. Worse than touch screens in a car, even.
Tech companies shouldn’t force me to conduct degrading roleplay with their interfaces.
Driver assistance is mostly a bad solution to problems that would be more effectively handled by improving driver awareness and control rather than distancing them from the vehicle, through changes to roads, availability of mass transit to people who don’t even want to drive, and improved public services to reduce the impact of human issues like drunk driving and fatigue.
Oh, right. Should answer part of that question: I use cruise control. It’s great.
Good for long trips, good for freeways, and frees attention that would be needed to constantly trim speed, modulate the throttle, and make sure you don’t accidentally speed on a sloped road where a cop is waiting to “catch” people.
I consider it a safety and anti-fatigue feature, and I have no problem with it because it’s directly under my control and can be immediately canceled/overridden. It arguably provides more direct control over a vehicle’s speed than the accelerator pedal.
It’s a machine that does not act without input, performs as instructed, and stops when ordered. No talking back, no “proactive” behavior. Personal Computer, not Copilot Plus.
Are you telling me we can skip to the part where the robot army is controlled by AI, and the savings are $1 trillion?
“Optimus, he added, “will be an incredible surgeon, and imagine if everyone had access to an incredible surgeon.”
Would anyone really trust a robot surgeon from a company that can’t even make a reliable autonomous car?
How about you start with a robot veterinary surgeon instead?
I would want my robotic surgery to be done with laser cutting, and not with a robot that looks like someone in a suit holding a scalpel in a mechanical hand.
Lasers are great for veterinary surgery!
https://www.arcjournals.org/pdfs/aja/v1-i3/1.pdf
Absolutely. I want my robotic surgeon to be something mounted permanently on the ceiling of the operating theatre, like any decent Sci-Fi movie portrays them.
I don’t want my robotic surgeon to be simultaneously working on balancing on two feet while working on me. Just because it looks familiar doesn’t make it a good idea!
Optimus is going to be an even bigger failure than the Cybertruck.
Stryker makes a robotic arm that is mounted on a box with wheels that can do joint surgeries. I think the ceiling mounted is for things like serious brain surgery, and not outpatient or quick recovery stuff.
But yeah there are definitely existing surgery robot companies with products doing actual surgeries. They have smart people working for them too and it is not going to be easy to leapfrog them with an AI watching videos of people doing surgery so that it can control a mechanical impression of a human hand.
Personal car? Never.
First one didn’t have it, but its job was to be a cheap first vehicle.
After that it’s been “sporty coupe” to “homologation special” to just early 1960s SCCA definition of “sports car.” I drive, not commute. Experience is what it’s about.
I have done 1,000 mile days in pure sports cars. I’ve not used cruise control. I also have mostly avoided using a car as a conveyance for 17 years, which is likely why.
What is your experience with ADAS systems? Do you have a car with one? Have you driven a car with one? Have you never even used cruise control?
I’m rather liking the advanced assistance on my Subaru, but for the most part I’m just using the adaptive cruise, not the lane keep and that’s advanced as I’ve driven. I have my first road trip in it coming up next week so I may try lane keep once I get to open highway with low traffic.
I’ll pay $1 trillion to whoever delivers a robot that does my laundry and dishes, so I have more free time to wrench
I want one that can work with my combo washer/dryer unit to fold the clothes after they are finished washing and drying.
OK:

https://www.lowes.com/pd/Frigidaire-62-Decibel-Front-Control-24-in-Built-In-Dishwasher-White/1003235218
Send me the trillion bucks and they’re all yours!
I will show up to your place and do your laundry and dishes for half a trillion. I can even wear a metal salad bowl on my head and make boop, beep robot noises.
As one who works right in the midst of the AI madness – it’s real, it’s also *wildly* overhyped (because there is massive amounts of money to be made)*. Just like tablets were, cloud was, the circa 2000 dot.com boom, etc. Important, useful, but not the end times. It will just be part of the landscape.
I agree very much that humanoid robots are idiotic. Musk has the emotional maturity of an 11yo obviously. I thought they were super cool when I was reading Asimov 45 years ago too. We had best get those Three Laws nailed down though, regardless of what shape the things end up in.
But for a long time, I expect who is controlling the robot to literally be the man behind the curtain. Maybe the humanoid robots can double as the chauffeurs in our self-driving cars. Human isn’t even a great form factor for humans, it’s just the result of random evolution. If we could design a human from scratch, I am sure we could do much better. I sure would prefer a lower CoG, more legs for stability, and not having my brain hung out on the top in a relatively fragile bone basket. A few more arms and more dextrous hands would be handy too, along with some better articulation.
*How much money to be made? My company just won an RFP for installing an nVidia “GPU Factory” for doing AI-related crap that will have almost *300* GPU servers at most of a half-mil a pop, over *3000* CPU servers to back them up, plus all the Infiniband and ethernet and fiber-channel infrastructure to connect it all together. In one single cluster. This is for a private company in, surprise, the financial sector. It’s cubic money, and they are all spending it out of fear of being left behind. How useful it actually ends up being? Who the Hell knows at this point!
If you wonder why you can’t buy a gaming GPU for a decent price these days – that’s why. That’s over 2400 top-of-the-line nVidia GPUs in ONE company’s datacenter in one sale.
“If you wonder why you can’t buy a gaming GPU for a decent price these days – that’s why.
That’s over 2400 top-of-the-line nVidia GPUs in ONE company’s datacenter in one sale”
Perhaps in a few years those GPUs will be sold off at fire sale prices.
You can be sure that none of those used top-of-the-line data center GPUs will ever be able to run the then-current version of Borderlands on Low.
You’ll never get a good gaming GPU at a decent price ever again.
Why not? Its new fabs can’t be built to take advantage of high demand.
The demand for video game GPUs simply isn’t high enough to bother. Fabs are *insanely* expensive. nVidia has no interest in making more of them and selling them for less money, and the competition is a generation or two behind. And realistically, they are all capacity-limited such that nVidia sets the pricing for all of them. AMD is only a little bit cheaper, and Intel is only up and coming and playing a very distant third.
In the enterprise, AMD isn’t really that far behind in hardware – but they can’t compete with nVidia’s “AI” software stack (not just AI, they have software for all the things you would want to run on a super computer – like gene folding and whatnot). You can basically be 90%+ of the way to a working solution buying nVidia hardware and software (and it’s so ubiquitous everybody in the industry already knows how to use it) but with AMD you are basically starting from scratch with a development project. Huge competitive advantage.
No?
“Video Game Market Size and Share Forecast Outlook 2025 to 2035
The Video Game Market is estimated to be valued at USD 292.4 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 977.4 billion by 2035, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.8% over the forecast period.”
https://www.futuremarketinsights.com/reports/video-game-market
Without fancy GPUs those fancy games aren’t going to be much fun. What are those poor nerds supposed to play their graphics intensive high FPS games on then? Are they going to have to make do with Candy Crush and Tetris?
And what about the AI girlfriends? Nobody’s going to pay big bucks for those if they look like a six year old’s scribble.
Pales in comparison to the sales of enterprise GPU software and hardware. Fundamentally, nVidia can sell a fancy video gaming GPU for $4K, or they can use the same resources to sell an enterprise GPU for $40K, plus a $10K a year software subscription to get the best use out of it. And a support subscription. Video gaming is kid stuff by comparison.
Most of those video game sales are to people running older GPUs anyway. And consoles. Actual standalone high-end GPU sales are a very small fraction of that market.
Well so much for my dream of a cheap AI harem….
You’ll still get it. It will just be running on somebody else’s computer in “The Cloud”.
A lot of what I do these days is GPU-enabled virtualization. You can share these things out among many users at once.
They don’t even have video outputs.
Is it really a GPU then?
Yes. GPU doesn’t mean what you think it means anymore. 🙂
Ultimately, a GPU is just a very, very, very fast, massively parallel math coprocessor. Which is what it takes to render images on a screen. But that capability can be used for all sorts of other more useful things than shooting baddies online.
Oh OK. I haven’t paid much attention to PC hardware improvements outside of storage. I don’t need much more than web, VLC and a basic office suite.
Wouldn’t do you any good. No video output on them. Not THAT sort of GPU.
Ah, Infiniband. My stint as a Tech Writer at HP included the era of the introduction of Infiniband, I had the pleasure of editing the engineers documentation, and testing what was written to find out if what they wrote actually worked, and if I could break anything during my hands-on testing. Fun times, but I much prefer hardware documentation over software.
Makes two of us – I write a lot of documenation as part of my job.
Infiniband has gotten pretty wild in terms of performance. And heat generation. Nothing like cabling up a 60 port switch that feels like a brace of hairdryers blowing straight into your face. Takes a LOT of power to move data at up to 2400/Gbs. Thankfully I don’t have to do much of that.
Never heard of/saw Sudan Archives before this TMD– thanks for it!
I work in R&D for one of the big semi-truck manufacturers so have to deal with ADAS often for different testing. For home vehicles the fiances 2018 Tourx has ACC and lane assist which and that was my first real experience with those systems and when I would drive that I would use ACC almost all the time. Now with the Polestar 2 I daily I use ACC every day to and from work in an EV it feels much nicer then in an ICE car since the Regen braking vs ICE cars that just use the brakes to slow down during ACC.
I have BlueCruise on my Mustang Mach E. I absolutely love it! Ill never get another car that doesnt have hands free highway driving. I just wish they didn’t charge $50 a month (I’m still on the free trial.) If it was $25 a month I’d buy it 10 times out of 10.
The only thing a trillionaire needs is more.
How about a conscious?
or a conscience? lol
Here’s the thing: no it won’t. No one who is both sane and who’s used even the best GenAI tools can possibly think that. It’s so far from that. It’s expensive, extremely spicy autocomplete. And I say this as someone who’s used it successfully for work tasks, and has been occasionally impressed with it. There is no path from today’s AI tech to “work is optional.”
Also, “work is optional” requires UBI, which Musk and fellow travelers for some reason do not want to promote.
“Work is optional” also requires a supply surplus which is counter to the artificial scarcities that for some reason those folks love to to promote.
News release: ICE signs multi-billion dollar deal with Tesla for 1 million robot agents.
Note to self: I really have to try out designer drugs some day.
It was interesting on the call when Elon referenced the “infinite money glitch” multiple times.
I think he should probably stop saying that, because if that becomes reality, then money would become essentially meaningless, rendering him powerless.
Hence the want for influence over the robot army.
“Revealing an infinite money glitch” (or perhaps “exploit”) is how I’ve been retroactively describing Adobe’s move toward recurring income through Creative Cloud. I am not using the phrase with any affection or admiration — it’s extracting “free” value without contributing anything.
The expectation a business will make (hypothetically) “infinite-margin” free money through the data economy and exploitative revenue models, instead of making something useful with profits limited by a real unit cost, has basically created a perverse incentive against good innovation.
This is why all cars have infotainment now. If it was added value, base models would go out of their way to strip it. It’s not uncharacteristic generosity, it’s automakers’ gift to themselves.
^ This, this right here. Everyone should read this person’s response.
I agree, and this can be a bit of a blanket statement (with mods) across a lot of industries right now.
It also has the stink of “nothing can get in our way”, but really it’s about unknown unknowns that the same people are too arrogant to even consider as a possibility.
Like back in the 1990s, Long-Term Capital Management thought that they were an unstoppable “infinite money glitch” org. They even said similar statements publicly….then…
I liked Blue Cruise when I used it for long highway stints. However, I refuse to use adaptive cruise normally. Other drivers can’t maintain speeds and I live in a very hilly area. So, ACC is always speeding up and slowing down. Its deactivated and I just use regular cruise. I appreciate that on my wife’s new Honda Pilot, the CC choice stays with whatever setting the driver previously chose. on her previous Mazda, I had to toggle ACC off every time I went to use the CC.
These sorts of sentiments used to feel like they were on the fringe, along with the idea that “social media is actively harming us all”.
I’ve become a little more optimistic about the world lately based on nothing more than a gut feeling, that these notions about our tech-centric lives are becoming mainstream. That putting our lives online has diminished ourselves and our society. That the incentives are ALL wrong.
Which is all to say: I generally like my car’s ADAS system, it does seem to reduce fatigue on long drives, but I wish it didn’t yell at me to put my hands on the steering wheel while I’m holding the wheel but no steering input is needed!
I was interested in ADAS when it was going to be thousands of lines of code written by extensive teams of humans and modifiable by going into the code and changing a parameter (for future iterative improvement and investigation of crashes).
Now that we’re looking at a machine-learning system, we only know what data we fed it and what it does with it, but not why. It’s a black box with billions of undecipherable nodes, and any parameters that we feed to it are nothing but requests. I don’t want to tell my car “please, don’t drive off the bridge”, I need to deliver an absolute “thou shalt not drive off the bridge”.
Machine learning is like herding krill. There are billions of them, they multiply with little to no supervision, and even after you steer 5 million tons of them (or roughly 5 trillion adult individuals) in one direction, it is physically impossible to count them all, figure out why some of them didn’t go the right way, or go catch them to put them back into formation.
You lose sight of thousands of tons of them, and hundreds of thousands of tons arrive by luck or by flawed logic, not by the correct processes, but you can’t even know which ones they are to dismiss them the next time, because you have no way to track them. You just sail this unfathomable swarm of tiny shrimps across the ocean repeatedly, hoping you don’t have to figure out why they arbitrarily decided that the “don’t drive at speed into a light pole” command was optional.
any active safety feature that needs constant supervision is destined to be a failure.
Since the newest car in my fleet is 2009 and I don’t travel for business anymore I have little exposure to ADAS except when I’m driving my Mom’s 2020 RAV-4 hybrid. I turned it all on one late night for a 1 1/2 hour drive home because I was so tired. It did ok but I remember it getting confused and cutting out by the almost non-existent lane markings, which are aplenty in New England. Probably works better where the roads are in better shape.
Don’t make me an app that solves a problem I don’t have. Period.
Don’t force me to download or otherwise be tethered to your sh***. Period.
Don’t obligate me to rent something I already own. Period.
And I’m not even an old fart. I’m a waaay early adopter with many budding solutions (to not call them all “technologies”), and wind up abandoning many when they are commercially introduced to much fanfare and speculation, because they totally wind up missing the boat. Some hit and stay, and those usually have little direct correlation to the original need they were satisfying, they hitch a ride on something else that came up meanwhile.
ADAS is but one such a point IMHO
The way I see it:
-Some extra safety features like lane keep assist and radar cruise are fine. I wouldn’t pay for them but people like them.
-Being able to go to sleep or watch a movie while my car drives me somewhere is certainly something I’d pay for.
-Anything in between is either adding little of value and/or causing complacency and is dangerous.

Ah, but it’s worse than that: Most NFTs were not even a digital image, they were a unique link to a digital image. Literally anyone could mint another link to the same image. Also, you had no actual rights to the digital image. Copyright may not matter much in the AI era, but you didn’t even get that with NFTs.
They were an obvious scam from the start and anyone who had even the slightest understanding of how they work (which was far too few) wanted nothing to do with them.
How does that help? Exporting cars from the US is currently a financial disaster thanks to tariffs on the raw materials coming in and reciprocal tariffs on the finished product being imported to other countries. I fail to see how taking a factory that was building cars for a worldwide audience and forcing it to only build for the US is a win.
The tariffs were an obvious scam from the start and anyone who had even the slightest understanding of how they work (which was far too few) wanted nothing to do with them.
Well, at least he didn’t claim he was a good captain. 😉
Given the shitshow that happened under his “leadership” in literally every other country that is a significant part of Stellantis, I do in fact believe him. That may be the only time I ever utter those words in my life. 😛
“Carlos Taveras, pictured above,”
YES! This is what I needed today.
