    Amusing self-observations while spiffing the golfcart up for Tour
    de Sol today. It finally cleared up, although I managed to busy up
    the rainy days with printing packets of doc to hand out, crossloading
    rally routes into the GPS, etc etc.

    This is the first car I've actually used *soap* on in like 20 years.
    .
    Rain-x on the windshield, back window, and mirrors.
    .
    Isopropyl on some of the stubborn spots on the microfiber.
    .
    It's amazing how much winter dirt the drivers' floor mat can hold.
    .
    The "mushroom farms" formed by organic muck collecting around the
    base of the rear-hatch lift rods are even gone for now.

    Saratoga or bust,

    Unfortunately my camera isn't in my hands this week, or I would have.
    You really want excruciating but well-lit closeups of my floor
    mats?? How ... exciting! Really, it looks like any other freshly-
    cleaned Prius, like in many peoples' avatars and uploads..

    Actually, there's a pic from when I did this *last* year, as
    a component image near the top of the big chaotic montage under
    http://techno-fandom.org/~hobbit/cars/prius-log/intro.html which
    includes several pix from last year's TdS since it figured largely
    in my picture-taking activities at that point.
