QotD: Road Trip
When was the last time you drove out of town?
In December, Laurna and I drove out to New Mexico to visit my Mom, who had relocated to Albuquerque. It was a lot of fun for two reasons.
The first was that we rented a Prius. Both of us were curious about the car. I have likes and dislikes about it. It gets really good gas mileage. However the batteries make it a zero sum gain. It was also kind of amusing that car makes no noise when it starts up, so a couple of times at the beginning of th trip, we accidentally turned the car on and off a couple of times. Also we had to honk at some people who didn't know we were behind them.
My mom lives with her sisters in a 3 bedroom house on the outskirts of Albuquerque. It's very "Golden Girls."
Mom loves Laurna, and my Aunts are really charmed. It was a lot of fun.
