After >17 years the cost-benefit curve on my old Prius finally bent toward replacement, so I bought a new Prius - which, unfortunately, has been delayed at the port for six weeks (??). So the dealer gave me a loaner while I’m waiting. I asked for the most Prius-like small car they had available while I was waiting. This is what they gave me (!) - and it was the smallest thing they had to rent. So, making lemonade, 30-odd bags of mulch at a time… (at Hampton Terrace Historic District) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnw_6dRJzd7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Finally getting to read through the documents about my grandfather that are compiled at the Holocaust Museum in DC. He was a POW in WWII, captured during the Battle of the Bulge, and imprisoned at the Berga-on-Elser concentration camp doing forced labor. He kept two diaries while imprisoned, the second of which daughters (my Mom and her sisters) donated to the Museum this past October. https://www.instagram.com/p/ClZkVBUplsi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
