In Jan. we purchased a Toyota Prius Prime (plug-in hybrid). Most nights, we plug it in to a household 120 volt plug. It gets about 70km to a charge in the winter, and 100km in the summer. Today I filled it up with gasoline..... first time since July! We got 4,000 km on this last tank (40 litres).

Yes, I know we are in Canada, but here is a photo of one of my banana bushes on Dec 26, 2025.

@airdflavellee.bsky.social is an impersonation account that is trying to rip-off my friends and followers. Note the extra "e" on my name. I've advised BlueSky, but they have 25+million users so I don't know what to expect for a response.

Here is my "official" Twitter/X exit, as I attempt to rearrange my on-line life onto Blue Sky. (I'm not quite sure what to do with Facebook!)

This popped up on one of my Twitter feeds.....

Sheila and I are volunteering with the Rotary "Educational Mission" to Belize. That means that we have to figure out how to operate "Lenovo Chromebooks". Here's Sheila attempting to document our experiments.
