    One of life's little joys

    Yesterday was a beautiful day in Massachusetts. And I found
    myself gliding along in that 99.9 mpg groove, running just on
    the battery, with just a tad of wheel noise and the sound of
    the air as the car moved through it. The windows were open,
    and it was the perfect temperature, and I found the whole
    experience to be really fine!!!! I do need to put my
    springtime music back in the car, and I will be even happier
    (if possible).

    Spring has sprung
    and grass has riz
    where last year's
    careless drivers is
    Burma Shave

    Have you notice the music is as loud outside the car as it is inside, even
    with the windows rolled up?

    No, is it? If so, I'll have to be careful about that--not
    that I play it really loudly.

    I was embarrassed when I first discovered this. Left the car running while
    cleaning my windshield. Closed the door to discover my car was a mobile PA
    system. Toyota should have put insulated back-boxes on the speakers.

    Oh, gee, your words came back to me just later that day or
    maybe the next day. A friend send me some very old country
    recordings--and I forgot the whole world could hear them....
    I'm sure the high school kids enjoyed the little concert! <g>

    "need to put my springtime music back in the car"

    As a pro composer I was wondering what music you would consider to be
    "spring" or any other seasons for that matter.

    I could write a sonnet about my Easter bonnet. :-)

    For me, that would be music from tropical climes, specifically
    the islands in the South Pacific. I find myself thinking of
    that on the first balmy days of spring and sometimes into the
    summer. Odd, huh?

    Speaking of temperature, the batteries become more efficient as they warm up
    either through natural ambient air flow or more aggressive driving. A cold
    night in-between two warm days could result in a change in the way the
    hybrid system reacts for you on a well traveled road, say mid morning for
    example. On those summer days when the night temperature stays uncomfortably
    warm you can count on excellent mileage right from the get go on your
    morning route.
    On one particular road (you may know where it is, near Robinson State Park)
    my Prius does a free fall down, going from 35 to 43 mph in the summer by the
    time I've reached the bottom. But in the winter the most I see is 38 mph.
    The denser colder air does have a remarkable negative impact.
