Flying To Our Home In Vancouver, Washington
Wednesday, October 18, 2023

Unusual images on the Southwest Airlines engine. Taco Bell now serving cannabis in addition to breakfast in Vancouver, Washington? Not really. There is a cannabis store in the same shopping center as Taco Bell so both go on the sign. Taco Bell is probably not happy about the signage. I wonder how many people try to order cannabis when they go through the Taco Bell drive-thru?

Saying Goodbye To Our
2012 Toyota Sienna Limited
That We Sold Today
Monday, October 23, 2023

We had been wrestling with this decision ever since we moved our 2015 Tesla Model S P85DL up to our home in Vancouver, Washington. This minivan came in handy once in a great while if we needed to seat more than the 4 passengers, or needed to move something too big for our Tesla, or just needed to loan a car to the rare out-of-town guest visiting our home. But it made little sense considering how few times we needed it for these purposes and how much it costs for annual insurance, registration, maintenance, etc. It would be cheaper just to rent a car or truck or take Uber on those rare occasions. Besides, the older the car got, the less we'd be able to sell it for. I prepared a web page at SilverRails.com/forsale/sienna.html to help us sell it. Until I prepared this web page I had forgotten how many premium and great features were in this minivan. We thought we might be asking a lot at $20,995 as most of the instant online purchase quotes from dealers came in around $12,000 or less, but we ended up selling it almost for our asking price in less than one day. This 11-year-old car only had 48,200 miles on it. Once we purchased our first Tesla in 2013, we rarely desired to drive this car rather than the Tesla.
