Useless information of the day: I try to count the number of Toyota Priuses I see when I’m out and about. So far, the maximum number of Priuses I’ve seen in any one day is 12, and that was while in the Seattle/Eastside region several weeks ago. I didn’t blog it, though — whoops.

I went back home on Friday and saw 11 while in Seattle and on the Eastside. On Saturday, I saw another 8 while in the Lynwood/Alderwood Mall area (between there and home, of course), and on Sunday, I saw another 8 in the Olympia area. Yesterday, I saw 5.

It’s really quite heartening to me to see the number of Prius owners going up. I have to admit, though, that I have no idea how many of these sightings may have been repeat sightings of the same vehicle — that’s more likely in Olympia than anywhere else, since this is a smaller community.

Tidbit of the day. Enjoy.
