After 13 years of driving her red Toyota Prius, Mariko is finally getting a new car! It’s not electric, nor a hybrid, but the technology in the cabin of her Audi is very cool. We even had a technology orientation session at the dealership. 😀
Her Prius, which is still going strong and getting a solid 44 mpg will go to Bay to use down in Houston. I’m hoping it lasts at least a few more years. What an amazing car it has been. 🙏🚗
For today’s portion of the drive home, I got out the GoPro Hero9 Black to record a “TimeWarp” video. I was treated to a little bit of rain and a good variety of clouds which made the drive a little bit more interesting. Please enjoy the video!
Heading back to Texas, but stopping for the evening in New Mexico! Two bicycles along for the ride. 😀🚲🚲
My mom made a Jamaican feast for us this evening, and the star of the menu (for me, at least) was an amazing Escovitch Snapper. It was pan-fried whole, and then covered with a yummy, vinegary sauce. So delicious! Of course we had some other Jamaican staples, such as Jerk pork, stew peas, and plantain, but the fish was what I will remember most. 🐟❤🇯🇲
Tonight my brother took me to go see our beloved World Champion (I love that!) Los Angeles Dodgers play against the Colorado Rockies. Dodger Stadium is open to limited capacity, with socially-distanced seating and masks being required. I was happy to see that the mask policy was strictly enforced, with stadium staff on the lookout for people who weren’t wearing masks, and them put them on. Our “pod” of two seats was distanced from other pods, and the transactions for food and drinks are all contactless. All-in-all, it was about as safe as going to the supermarket.
The game itself was amazing (if you are a Dodger fan), with the lead changing a few times, a couple of home runs from the Dodgers, and the home team coming out on top. What an awesome night!
