So - it turns out, just as everyone said, that the Prius doesn’t do the advertised 60MPG in the city and 50MPG on the highway. What is does for us is 43-44MPG on a mixed driving - some city, some traffic jams, some freeway. It’s still twice what we used to get with the BMW!
Svetla and I just bought a new 2007 Toyota Prius ! We’re very happy with the car - the actual gas consumption is about 42 MPG (combined city and highway driving). We went to Toyota Sunnyvale with our downstairs neighbor Jason Molenda and picked two red Toyotas - it was so much fun !! See some pictures from the happy event on Jason’s site.
Wisdom teeth are the most annoying thing in one’s mouth. They are only making a person’s life miserable. You wait 20+ years for them to decide to come out and then it hurts like hell when they do so. A minute later, your dentist tells you that they’re already decayed and you need to extract them. Of course, he warns you that the extraction is painful and you’ll need 2-3 days to recover. Why do you need wisdom teeth then? And why are they called wisdom teeth? You’re wise enough to endure the pain? I’ve managed to break one of mine and I am taking care of it. I’m taking a Friday off from work and I’ll switch to liquid foods for the weekend. Petar will be so nice to take the day off as well and drive me to the doctor and then bring me home and listen to my complaints the whole day. They promised to give me a “happy pill” so I’ll be relaxed and happy and high and answering all questions everyone asks me without remembering it. It should be called a “dangerous pill”, not a happy but whatever.
In hope of surviving February 2 … yours truly, madly, deeply concerned S.
