It's a sad day because of Easter day violence in Sri Lanka. Just when things were really looking up for the island nation, well-financed and organized suicide bombers demonstrated hate for humanity by targeting Christians in places of worship and innocent tourists in hotels. Jay's immediate family and friends were not affected but now must live under curfews, restrictions, and fear.
As I've been talking about the change over from our old pickup to the new mini-crossover for the whole week, I will continue.
Jay and I took a trip uptown so I could buy some floor mats for Kimchi, the nickname for our new KONA EV. We frequently pick up food at the Walmart Supercenter at the mall. Jumping in and out of the vehicle is becoming more familiar. Many old habits are hard to break. For example, leaving the fob in my pocket is not yet second nature. I'm replacing my previous gear-shifting habits by actively modifying brake regeneration. New Westminster happens to be basically one large hill, you see. Craning my neck when backing up instead of watching the display is becoming less common.
The new universal mats don't fit perfectly but are okay. I went through the garbage bag of the contents from the old Ranger and put a few things in Kimchi. A few Loonies, a flashlight, a tire-pressure gauge, and driving gloves were among the things that made the cut. I nearly saved a loyalty card from the Flying J truck stop. It is near Ferndale between the US border and Bellingham, Washington. Gas there was always a few cents cheaper than at any surrounding station and substantially cheaper than in Canada.
I guess as I won't be buying gasoline again, I can toss this card.
