Super busy day… I didn’t get half of what I was supposed to get done today done. That said we did have one big accomplishment. We bought another car. This one is a Prius prime plugin Hybrid. You plug it in like an electric car and it can go about 25 miles on batteries… When that’s done it runs like a normal hybrid. In hybrid mode he gets about 54 miles a gallon… But in normal around town kind of commuting it gets over 100 miles a gallon. It gets over 600 miles on a tank… Maybe even 1000 if we’re just staying local. That sounds pretty cool. We are getting used to having to plug it in though

This evening we were lucky enough to score last minute tickets to a Natalie Merchant show at Spruce Peak Arts. A good friend john Got us on the standby list. It’s a beautiful venue… Never seen it before.

It was great seeing John all dressed up… Much different than what he wears at burning man

The show was quite good. You could tell that something was bugging Natalie merchant. She seem sort of sad but leaned into it as the show went on. She has such a beautiful voice.

OK… SaTori is asking me to play tugawar with her and she’s too cute to resist

Nite all, nite Sam

Dan and I got back from a great trip to Cambridge just a few hours ago. The air is strangely cool. We both acknowledge that August 1 is like the beginning of the end of summer. From this point on everything is a rush to the beginning of… What? School? Not for us at least… But for all the things we tried to cram into summer. The nights will get cooler, The leaves will start to turn… Sure will still have a couple of 90° days… But we’re also going to start having nights in the 50s

I always welcome the cooler weather because it never has to be over 70° for me… But I do enjoy the slower pace of summer.… I wish there were something we could do to drag her feet and make the summer last a little longer… But that never works.… Oh well, I love the fall too

Nite all, nite Sam
