Late afternoon. You had a late lunch at the Piada Street
Italian after stopping by AAA to pick up Carol’s new purse. In March Linda and
Jen are flying from Florida and you four are driving to Dearborn, Michigan to
visit the Henry Ford Museum during Jen’s spring break. Yesterday for lunch you
ate at Marx Bagels for a change; it was sunny like today, and you could eat in
the car without turning on the heater.
You
took Jadah and Spooky over for their check-ups. Jadah presented herself as the
princess she sees herself while Spooky was so laid back and relaxed the vet
commented that she behaves more like a dog in building. I told her that Spooky
doesn’t really know where she is and doesn’t care – she just takes life casually
as long as she is comfortable, has her food, playtime and naps. I thought it
would take fifteen minutes to round up the two and put them in their carriers;
it took almost twenty-five. Spooky saw Carol readying the larger gray/black
carrier and headed out. Jadah was caught because she had been napping and just
woke up and hadn’t seen you or her nearby red carrier yet.
After
lunch today you and Carol drove over to Performance King’s Honda and took a
test drive in the 2015 Accord EXL Hybrid. Overall it was a good experience but
you did not like the whine in their ‘transmission-like device’. The pick up on
the freeway was very good though. The Honda Accord hybrid is not a Toyota
Avalon hybrid – you feel you have been spoiled with the Avalon. – Amorella
1721
hours. We ran more errands and while at the post office waiting for Carol I
noticed a white Tesla S setting in the lot. I walked over for a quick
inspection. The Tesla S has a very sleek design architecture looking at the
passenger’s side of the automobile. The front is interesting and stylish also,
but the back doesn’t look much different from any other family sedan on the
road rather disappointing. The darkened glass prevented me from getting a good
look inside, but what I could see presented was uncluttered and perhaps
austere. Overall, it is quite snappy looking – awesome and cool both.
1942 hours. About fifteen minutes ago I completed my
reading of Bill Bryson’s A Short History of Nearly Everything. Tomorrow
I shall bundle up the book and send it on to Doug for his reading. I enjoyed
the book very much and took time between chapters to let the essentials, as I
see them, settle in wherever they are likely to fall. Life is quite interesting
and this work shows this with a slight hint of dark humor along the way. Bryson
and I might likely get along if we knew one another, at least humor-wise. How
our species has survived this long is almost shear luck, which could go on and
on or run out tomorrow. I would not be surprised by either outcome.
