LOL Darell. A picture speaks a thousand words.

PS: Your profile here says you have a 2004 Prius, but your website says it's a 2006.

PPS: And thank you for the multitude of pages on your website, very educational, particularly regarding your home solar PV installation and your EV's past and present. You've really got me thinking.

Happy Father's Day to all dads out there!

darell,

re: the pic, the apple didn't fall far from the tree, did it? :P Your daughter may be a little young to doggedly and intelligently belive in certain things to the degree her father does (and I don't mean to shortchange your wife), but I fully expect to see her thoughtfully (and insouciantly) posting here before long.

tadashi,

I don't usually "effuse" over people's kids, especially about superficial "cuteness". But your boy is a flat-out knockout! He looks as if he has both a developed sense of humor (that wonderful avatar) and intelligence belying his age (the pic with you). Again, don't mean to overlook your wife, either.

If I believed in arranged marriages, I might make a suggestion.

:P

Happy Father's Day.

Hmmm must have gotten screwed up in one of the "upgrades." Thanks for pointing it out. I'll go fix 'er up!

Hey, come on now! She's actually quite cute.

We put her to work charging our first EV well before she was two. But then I'm sure all you guys have your toddlers fueling your vehicles.

And here's what she looks like when she's not being a goof:

Ok... I'll stop. But just be warned for next time: flattery WILL get you everywhere!

Love those Oakley C-Wires. Mine are iridium fire.

Tadashi · 06-20-2006, 02:22 PM

Thanks ghostofjk. I hope it does not go to his head.

Nice pics Darrelldd. I am an Oakly square wire 2.0 man myself.

A drop-dead knockout.

The girl's not bad, either. :P

Actually, you look like whatsisname, the old Wild Kingdom guy.
