Laziness and sloth

Today is the Catholic Feast Day of St. Lawrence, according to some sources, and the saint was noted for laziness and sloth. Now that’s a saint I can understand. Although, I’m wondering, after reading that link, if this guy shouldn’t be the patron of BBQ.

I had a bunch of client calls lined up for Monday afternoon, but I ran into a little Mercury problem. See: with the folks gone, I get to use the car left behind, the cute, little Toyota Hybrid Prius. Cute car. Nice car. Perfect car for scooting around Dallas. (It has a handicap sticker for parking, too, not that I would ever use that without an invalid accompanying me. But still, appealing…)

I hopped in Monday morning, and the battery was dead. Not the big motor-driven battery, but the little “starter” battery.

How do you jump start an electric car?

Interesting question. One that is answered, in the last place I looked: the owner’s manual.

BBQ at Sonny Bryan’s again. (Means I did get the car plugged back in. Plus Radio. From Dallas.
