Buster is the name I gave my 2006 Toyota Prius shortly after buying him.  Yesterday I paid $4.69 for a gallon of gas. Regular gas. Not premium or even mid-grade.  I spent  $40.21 on 8.6 gallons of gas.  This filled up Buster's small tank and will last me almost 400 miles, so I'm luckier than most.  With gas prices what they are, I am so happy I handed over the hefty asking price and got him when I did.  I think I'd have a hard time selling my old SUV in today's market, don't you? 


Next week I'm heading out to visit family.  As soon as I get back, I'll be adding a bicycle to my home.  Buster might get jealous when I start leaving him at home.
