If they were rodeos in Houston, TX, I missed them then... Not anyone in stores, streets or others looked like cowboys . Never found a shop where we could buy cowboy gear either. It was surreal...

Re; Prius 2. Like or rather acceptable. It works. It's reliable. It's inexpensive to maintain and to operate. For urban use (eastside Seattle) it's more than adequate for grocery errands. Insurance (metered) ~$70/mo. Gas ~US 4gals/mo @ US$5.00/gal. = ~$1.25/mi driven. A new(er) car can not be justified at our age 73/76 and in an urban & dense area.
