a friendly neighbourhood...

Every now and then when I drop D off at her preschool and head to the metro, I see the Toyota courtesy shuttle drive by - the service center & dealership is a mile away - and each time, I chose walking home after dropping car off and picking up when ready! This morning, the driver, whom I had seen on the premises, wished me good morning and asked, why is it he always saw me walking and not driving! He rminded me that must be the answers to our woes!

I lauhed. And realised, wow we are remembered! So, we must be in a small neighborhood! How great!



Yes, we finally hit the 10,000miles mark and our battery is still undercharged (the 12V in the hybrid's back). Sigh. Probably needs a new one. Can’t figure out how to use a maintenar when the building basement doesn’t have an outlet – or likely management doesn’t want us using it. I wonder if the electric car charging stations would do the trick….. never mind.

And I do now take it for a drive down the highway to the store 15 miles away. But alas, I-66 is not a highway, it’s a parking lot or just a regular road with more stop and goes than the regular road with 20 traffic lights. Pointless really.

Any state parks near you? Maybe on a weekend you can take D on an adventure to somewhere you haven't been in a different city.

we do that on weekends, most weekends. But it still doesn't seem to be enough! oh well.. we do have several day/road trips planned for when my in-laws here! So there will be more frequent drivings... worry about winter coming up! When we don't drive much at all! sigh....
