Tomorrow is day off the worker so supermarkets are closed. Will we survive?
Most people are also taking a long weekend and the streets were very quiet today.

The Hybrids are also exempt of the 35% import tax since classified as EV. Those cars do not need to be plugged in since they use kinetic energy of braking to charge the battery along with the primary source of nafta. That is what I recall when Toyota hybrids became popular 20 years ago. Now they sell plug-in hybrids in Argentina which I assume give both options.
We hired a Nissan Kicks Hybrid equivalent in Barcelona last year and I loved it. The electric motor seemed to operate at low speeds like parking, supermarkets etc and then the main engine takes over at speed.
I would definitely buy one.
But look at the prices. It's crazy!

Prices for cars are already through the roof and it's right that the government come down hard on those who increase the prices.
The other day we had a look around a used car lot, also with some new cars. The prices were hair-raising and since want a brand new car (because used or almost new don't seem to lose much value) we would have to find no less than USD20,000.
I'm already digging a tunnel to the nearest bank...

I’ve never been able to put my finger on it or articulate how I see it exactly but I think it was all supposed to appeal to high-minded public schoolboys and not the general public. In that sense I’ve a feeling I was never supposed to “get it”. If I’m right then I’m glad I don’t.
Michael Palin redeemed himself through the classic “Around the world in 80 days” recreation. Otherwise I’d see him much like I see John Cleese.What in earth is funny about the Life of Brian or was it Bryan?
High minded public schoolboys? What a load of tosh.
Most of the people who enjoyed it never went to public school and the demographic was far and wide.

Yes they are. The missus recently bought a new Philips one. Our old Philips still worked well after years and years of use but was looking the worse for wear. Took me a while to get the hang of it as the older one wasn't digital. No idea of the exact model but this one looks the same.

Even if you have cash, in many places you can't use it if the systems are down. This happened in Carrefour recently.

I was chef tonight so had cheeseburgers (mine topped with sauteed onion) along with chips. A Guinness for me.
Those chips look good. Air fryer? If so, which model would you recommend?

On April 30th The Eternaut arrives on Netflix. Written by Hector Oesterheld in the 50s, who was eventually murdered, along with his four daughters by the military junta in 1977, it became a hallmark of comics to come.
To know the history of this man, this video tells us how it all came about and the author's tragic end.

Well done The Missus!
I had no such luck with the urn of some poor fellow's ashes, so I put it back on the grass opposite the house and never saw it again, thankfully.
