My husband took the morning off and we went hiking, pretty early, like at seven a.m. and we were talking about the problems with the Prius. You see, he almost bought one recently after his car was totaled in a freeway collision. I put the cabosh on the Prius. Why? Well…I’d driven one when they first came out and I thought it was okay, but these new cars are kind of scary high tech distracting and I knew my husband would get killed while trying to figure out what his dash board was saying to him. So we went with a Honda Civic hybrid. No, I’m not getting paid to say this…
So anyway, we were talking about the guy whose car ran away with him in SoCal and how frightened he must have been and I commented, well, at least he wouldn’t run out of gas. My husband burst out laughing! Yes, he said, What an ad campaign! Buy a Prius! You may be going a hundred and twenty miles an hour but you can drive for seven hundred miles on one tank of gas!
I’m one of those people who love Toyotas, but I did have a problem with my Highlander - that stinking carpet thingy under my gas pedal got stuck and I couldn’t brake when I needed to. Nearly got me killed a few years ago. I didn’t know there had been a recall so I just threw the thing out of my car.
Anyway, poor guy! I’m glad he’s okay. The car is so complicated that I’m not quite sure why you can’t just put the transmission in neutral or even if you can. Yiii!
Mia Watts has some hunks on her blog - check them out! Yum! We both love Gerard Butler. He’s such a guy!
I made a big pot of Peace and Happiness Chili last night. No matter how I change it up from time to time, there’s just something about that chili that makes you feel so happy and peaceful. It’s weird. Let me know if you want the general recipe and you all can personalize it.
In other news: A poor wolverine is looking for love…we actually have a lone wolverine in California where wolverines haven’t been seen in 100 years. He’s looking for a mate. Hugh Jackman, where are you when your species needs help?
And from the University of Chicago and the NIH, this jewel - men and women don’t generally have sex after 70. Waaaa! Hubby came to me last night and said - Get it while you can because in thirty years or so…no more! You’re cut off! By the age of 55, men have an average sexual life expectancy of 15 years, women …oooh!….25. Really? Now that’s a Cougar! Healthy men and women can extend that a bit - another reason to work out, baby!

Yeah, mine has 140,000 miles and I plan to make it to 250,000. Sometimes I think the lower the tech the better the vehicle.
Gotta say, I hope my relatively low-tech 1997 vehicle keeps running for a long time…
Dana! You read the whole thing! I know! I was ROTFLMAO! He is very funny!
Your husband cutting you off in 30 years is too funny.
Scary stuff. Think I should point out that not everyone stops having sex at sixty…
