The problem is I want a commuter car (EV) but need to be able to take the occasional road trip. Hubby wants a stick and that's not my idea of a fun road trip so I can't use his car as backup. I either need to give up my idea of an EV (something hubby talked me into considering by the way), or prepare to rent a vehicle for every road trip longer than 200 miles. I'm not considering just leasing something cheap and hoping that batteries get better in a year or two.EMLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10618112674581997416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-19745025030972070492018-03-19T12:59:23.474-04:002018-03-19T12:59:23.474-04:00Boo to the cold.

Sunday did grocery shopping, laundry, and got some doggie insurance claims copied and ready to mail for today (big project, procrastinated way too long). I had a low blood sugar episode in the grocery store so I was extremely foggy and out of it for a good part of the day. The hubs could see that so he took the dogs for a drive then for a walk around the neighborhood so I could take a nap. Felt much better afterwards. Then it was getting the garbage and recycling ready for today, and off to bed. dalbador1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09877799102438622117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-10826860384160830972018-03-19T10:04:31.130-04:002018-03-19T10:04:31.130-04:00Had a Rav4.

I was pleasantly surprised with how comfortable it is but I'm not as tall as you are so it may fit my stubby legs better than it would yours.

I was surprised by how much I did actually enjoy the king crab legs because I always thought those were something that would just creep me out too much. Don't get me wrong, I am still glad we had shrimp and other stuff in there too but everything together was really good.<br /><br />Glad we got a good walk in yesterday. It was nice to get out on a decent day but I did feel like the walk was tougher than normal and I am glad I used "The Stick" to work out some of the kinks in my legs or else I would probably be a lot more uncomfortable this morning.The Mr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04233628447251244134noreply@blogger.com
