Notes - Tesla S sighting / not surprised either way /

         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.

         No, you would not. Post. - Amorella
