14 August 2025. Had to help out at the shop for an hour yesterday so my dad could come by the house and check on the ongoing construction for the middle bathroom. Bought some banh mi sandwiches for my dad and uncles and then headed to another shop near Ocean Supermarket to get a soy sauce chicken for mom. They mislabeled their yellow ginger chicken as soy sauce chicken so I had to get it. Headed back home, weirded out but still grateful for the extended time driving. Got some milk tea around 6, and Seth let me drive his Prius (parked behind my car) to the nearby TP Tea. I was surprised to find the steering wheel was very light, and that his seat was so close to the pedals (explains his lead foot — he can't help it). Visibility was slightly worse than my own car, but that could be because the seat was a touch low. Power mixing was very, VERY smooth between gas and electric propulsion, even when I edged into the Power section. His average MPG is (still) 38.5, and just recently he broke 1000 miles. Unwound the rest of the day, added a couple notes into Pale Fire.
