There is a surplus of Prius everywhere.
Older years have ruined batteries.

As for new cars, the Prius is a "buy" regardless of gasoline price trends.

In the case of a used car, how the previous owner drove the car has a big impact, so when purchasing a car, please have it professionally inspected before making a purchase decision, even if you pay the cost. This can be said for any car.

We, a late-retired couple, bought a Prius as a new car more than 10 years ago, but we do not use it for commuting and do not make frequent long trips, so the mileage is very low and we change the oil regularly, so it is running fine without any trouble. Sorry, this is not helpful at all.

Whether or not a Hybrid is a good buy depends on your lifestyle. I drive a Toyota SUV Hybrid.

My car is 15 years old, 160,000 miles and gets better gas mileage than the new 2025 Mazda CX-5 I recently bought for my daughter.
Hybrids need to be kept for 6 － 8 years or more to make money, taking into account the rising cost of gasoline. If you plan to drive it all the time, a hybrid is a good choice. If you plan to drive it all the time, a hybrid is the way to go.

Usually with trees like that, you cut off the small branches in the off-season and
grow them in pots and fertilize them at first. When they get big enough, you move them to land. I think that's how it works.
I did it with grapes, and they were doing well, but the gardeners threw them away （ tears ）
I think it still takes a few years for them to bear fruit.

I think it would be faster to buy them from some nursery ？.

Thank you ！ It takes that long 🥲

For now, I think it would be better to buy one pot of fruit from Nursery, grow and eat it, and enjoy growing the branches I get from that house.

I wonder if I should cut the branches around there ？ Do you have any advice ？

Also, I don't think I have ever come across a Nursery that sells Kumquat in the past ？
The last time I saw a potted kumquat plant was about 10 years ago at a swap meet, sold by an Asian guy. I remember regretting it for a while because even then I was traveling far from home and didn't buy it.

Some types of citrus are banned from sale. I don't know if you can get them because they are regulated to prevent disease and I saw on the news that a vendor in San Diego sued the governor of the state by the million as he had to get rid of his seedlings.
There are plenty of YouTubers who can find you trees to take, but they are more likely to be successful than cuttings.

I planted this tree 30 years ago and at first it produced a kumquat, but since the second year it has produced a lemon that is 15 cm long. I don't want the lemons, I want them to become kumquat, but only lemons. It is a strange tree.

I think this song became popular when the old wooden school building in Azabu, Tokyo was moved to a new building in Musashino, Tokyo

#1060 Roachiman,

I moved from NY to LA around 1971, so the hit song at that time was

Albert Hammond - It Never Rains in Southern California
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meDpNwem0Vo&list=RDmeDpNwem0Vo&start_radio=1

This was the song. I had heard about it, but the fact that it hardly rains means that I can ride my Motorcycle everyday. So I took a leap of faith, ate lunch at Famous Star and cheap today's specials at Norms Restaurant in the evening, saved up money throughout the year, and bought a new Storts Star that cost less than a Harley-Davidson Full Dress. I bought a new car, a Storts Star, which costs less than a Harley-Davidson Full Dress.

Have you ever had "homesickness （ homesickness ）" when you first arrived here from Japan?

I did. My first time in the U.S. was in the City of New York, where I stayed at the apartment of an older colleague who had come before me. Naturally, I could speak Japanese 24 hours a day, so I felt totally at ease, but I could not stay there for long, so I asked him to choose a suitable rental room from the Rent Room section in the Classified Section of the New York Times or some other local newspaper, and I called him and asked him to show me the room. I called him and asked him to show me the room at that location.

Illegal building should definitely stop. To begin with, building codes, Title 24 in CA, are written based on minimum standards for people's safety and should be followed.
Broadly speaking, safety, especially earthquake resistance and fire prevention, are the two main standards, and in CA, energy conservation is added to the list, with water saving, energy saving, and high airtightness.

ADU is a very powerful （ housing solution ） CA state law, so it can be used to override minor city ordinances, setbacks, etc.
The simple explanation is that it basically allows two houses to be built on a lot where only one could be built before.
To be more precise, you can now use SB-9 to split a lot in two and have one house
1+1(ADU) + 1 (JADU) x 2 = maximum 4 families plus ＋ 2 people can live in it.

Along the coast such as Newport Beach and other waterfronts or near them, you can easily sell it for MILLIONS or rent it for a higher room price, which is delicious.

Some American customers want to build ADUs as a stable income for their retirement.
It's one of the deepest and very good real estate investments if you dig it out.

Some Japanese people want to travel both ways between Japan and the U.S., but are worried if no one lives in the house, so they build an ADU and have people live there so it doesn't look vacant.
In Irvine, it's like $4,000 a month house rent, so building an ADU would help a lot financially.
If you already own a home, I highly recommend that you consider it as a way to supplement your stable income in retirement.


But it will take some money and time, so you should understand that as well.

21When I wrote that I could design it, someone banned me and erased it ？
I'm not looking for customers, so that's fine.

As I mentioned in 22, the housing standards specify basic safety standards.
Meki's garage is not a good idea because it doesn't meet safety standards, it should have a bathroom at the very least, and it is either ignorant or a jerk to not build it according to the code ？

To turn a blind eye to the fact that he lives in a garage is, in a sense, to turn a blind eye to the abuse. ？
If it's near your house, you should report it because it's a bad environment.

In ADU, you can legalize your garage and turn it into a JADU.

Mr. Gomapin
We are considering an ADU for guest use. 　My engineer/designer tells me that our home will likely require Soil Test due to city codes. We are considering a prefab like BOXABL to make the cost as predictable as possible, but I still think the Soil Test will be necessary ？.

Regardless of the ADU, I don't think a Soil Report is usually required for a 500 SF addition on a single story building. You should ask the engineer carefully.
Wherever the city is, or where there are a lot of ups and downs, they may be more likely to require it.Soil is 4 ～ I think it's around $5,000. Not cheap, but it is one of the necessary expenses.

I did the ZO skin therapeutic course to remove spots.
You purchase the products from the medical spa in Lake Forest below and use the products after washing your face in the morning and at night for about 3 months, I think. Personally, I thought it was fine even if I didn't use ZO Skin's face wash. The 1cm sized spots on my cheeks are gone, and the spots on my temples have rebounded and appeared, but I am happy with the results because they are invisible with regular foundation instead of concealer.
