F-150 Lightning

Not intending to, we caught Ford's live announcement of the 2022 Ford® F-150 Lightning Electric Truck yesterday. I found myself unexpectedly in tears. I don't know if it was the promise being made visible, a community proud of working for sustainability in the face of climate change? Can this truck unify a split America? Linda Zhang, chief engineer, clearly communicating her immigrant roots and American upbringing? The diversity in the promotional videos and on the stage? (Linda!) I don't know but i was unexpectedly swept up in joy and delight.

Ha, i am still tearing up.

So, we put in a refundable deposit on buying one. My brain winces at the cost, and i'll probably chicken out because -- buying a new vehicle?? -- but that truck is a promise being made.

... using the jeep tag, thinking about Josie the Jeep and falling in love with that completely flawed vehicle that couldn't pass emissions....
