Dear Gabrielle, Jim, Sally, Byron, Reedies +, All,

How are you?

A possible first, 'real,' :) "Proposed Reedie + book group" opened a little further yesterday (as I leased an INCREDIBLE new 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland Edition minivan from Toyota Palo Alto) ... AND see the PS below ... 

How about reading the short kids' book "Ferdinand the Bull" by Munro Leaf for this "Proposed Reedie + book group" here online, perhaps formatted in new ways ... 

As a kind of prose poem (like the Desiderata?) even from the University of Pennsylvania - 
and with the pictures by Robert Lawson expandable even on our smartphones for close viewing - 

I think the book "Ferdinand the Bull" is here - 

What do you think? (And what is wisdom in children's literature too?)

So, - a Proposed Reedie + Book Group gathering (party in Canyon?:) this Saturday 3/8/25 at 670A Canyon 94516 beginning around 4pm, and 5:30 pm too to see it in the light ? - with potluck? What to read? What would you suggest?  

(So with this new 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland Edition minivan from Toyota Palo Alto and using WUaS and my address of 670A Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516, with state of California and US federal law working effectively together in new ways, will it be possible, I wonder, to move into a newly safe open 670 Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516 today and tomorrow? How might I learn this and from whom and when? Ed? (possibly Byron in Moraga, or?) Thoughts ?

Happy Proposed Reedie + Book Group gathering (party in Canyon?:) this Saturday 3/8/25, Reed regards, warmly, 
Scott



PS
8:10 am PT

Hi Ma, Ed & Pin! How are you? I got the INCREDIBLE 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland Edition minivan yesterday from about 4 pm - 9:30 pm PT, leasing it ... drove it back past the Canyon 94516 post office, in the sequoia forest, and decided to car camp 1.8 miles south of there, past Canyon Rd turn off into Moraga, on Pinehurst road in a pull off in the green wood overlooking a valley of green ... The Sienna Woodland minivan allows me to sleep fully extended (6'4") and its a bit space age with the side doors and back hatch opening automatically ... and so amazingly well designed in many ways ... "Way opened" in a Friendly Quaker sense to get this new, partly livable-in van  ... In the Valle Vista staging area near Canyon, learning about the minivan, I am waiting for the storage unit in Rheem valley/Moraga ~5 miles away to open soon ... I'm hoping to empty my minivan a little further than I did my amazing (but too small for sleeping in since it torqued my knees) 2016 Toyota Prius C (which I sold back to Toyota Palo Alto) about a week ago ...AND even to then EMPTY the storage unit and close it by tomorrow Th 3/6/25 ... Will it be possible to move my things into a newly safe open 670 Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516 today and tomorrow? How might I learn this and from whom and when? Ed? (possibly Byron in Moraga, or?) Thoughts ? Fond regards, Scott (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/?m=0)

Gabrielle (& PLEASE FORWARD TO other Reedies + in group whose emails I couldn't find, and/or whom you'd like to invite), - and Kai ! - and greetings, friends, All,

Greetings ... How are you? (No word yet on whether I can move in this afternoon into a newly safe open 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516, with my having to renew my storage today for another month or two ... i.e. with state of California and US federal law working effectively together in new ways ... stay tuned :)

If "The Desiderata" prose poem, and "Ferdinand the Bull" kids' book, are wisdom literature, what are 10 books and writings like these ? 

Might we use 'wisdom literature' very broadly construed, as well as prose poems, and possibly kids' books too, as guiding ideas for our potential book suggestions (for any given month)?


add emails (or not?) to LinkediN (for Reedies above whose email addresses we don't have ... this could be a great way to stay connected further ... ie if email is one of the 'killer apps' for example;)?  - eg https://www.linkedin.com/in/charles-casey-10b20a27/

Reed regards, warmly, Book suggestions, or ways of thinking about inspiring books you might want to suggest? :),
Scott 

Some recent emails from this thread here - 
(and am finding the 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland Edition minivan incredible ... and am looking for a 2 gallon + portable electric shower jug with electric heater, possibly like some European & other countries' showers, on top to fit in the back left panel of the  2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland Edition minivan ... Thoughts)? 



PS 

Again (from the June 27 2024 AND theF Dec 6, 2024 emails in this thread) -

LinkedIns with emails potentially (if helpful for you for connecting and networking ... and even in the centuries ahead with extreme longevity genetic drug therapies emerging and FDA approved)?

Dear Dich, Sadaf, Raj (all at Toyota Palo Alto), All, 

Thanks so so much for the INCREDIBLE 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland Edition minivan ... 

As I texted my mother, and friends' Ed and Sid/Pin above - 

Hi Ma, Ed & Pin! How are you? I got the INCREDIBLE 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland Edition minivan yesterday at Toyota Palo Alto from about 4 pm - 9:30 pm PT, leasing it ... drove it back to Canyon 94516, in the sequoia forest ... The Sienna Woodland minivan will allow me to sleep fully extended (~6'4") and it's a bit 'space age' with the side doors and back hatch opening automatically ... and so amazingly well designed in many ways ... "Way opened" in a Friendly Quaker sense to get this new, partly livable-in van  ...  I sold back my 2016 Toyota Prius C to Toyota Palo Alto. Fond regards, Scott (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/?m=0)

Dich, all, I have a couple of questions: 

1
Do I have to turn on the 1500 W power outlet in the back of the minivan somehow ? ... It didn't seem to work this morning.

2
Do I have to activate the cruise control as well somehow ... or turn it on initially? ... It doesn't seem to work presently.

3
And how do I configure the touch screen in the front? ... I've downloaded the Toyota App and have an account ... but the initial setup doesn't seem to be working curiously (for Toyota) ... 

4
(And how do I also operate the Multimedia Package for example ... and even connect into the car's satellite wifi connectivity for faster connection bandwidth in rural and remote locations?)

Dich, Sadaf, Raj. -
Thanks so so much again for helping me yesterday to get this INCREDIBLE 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland Edition minivan!




* 

Dich, All, 

Greetings! Am appreciating this new INCREDIBLE 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland Edition minivan ... Thank you! (Was able to play my Scottish Smallpipes from it yesterday for the first time in weeks and months even from a Toyota vehicle due to the increase in size and space ... (And may seek to put my 76 key lightweight keyboard in it today to see if it fits ... and am exploring using the sleeping board even as a desktop ... AND for playing with Lego Robotics' kits to make Lego robots in the back of this Sienna ... AND as a possible writing desk too for "Society, Info Tech and the Global University" next book :).

1
How please do I activate (or could a Toyota technician do this remotely even) the electrical system in the back both the 1500 W 120 V outlet, AND the light in the back on the inside of the roof, - so both in the back of a new 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland Edition minivan eg to charge my laptop and use the electrical outlet? (I tried to use 3 different plugs in this back outlet, and none worked, and also noticed that the light on top at back doesn't work). Glad to have found a lighter outlet in the front this morning, that I put my DC-AC adapter into ... and am now able to charge devices in front.


2
And how to activate the cruise control as well ... or turn it on initially? ... It doesn't seem to work presently.  And could a Toyota technician also do this remotely even?

I'll hold off on asking the other questions I sent and have anew, since the Toyota front screens' IT systems with my Android smartphone etc seem to be connecting gradually ... 

Am exploring coming into Toyota Palo Alto when the next 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland Edition minivan comes in in about 10 days ... and when that person may have questions, and so that a Toyota technician at Toyota Palo Alto, or remotely, familiar with the new IT systems on this Woodland Edition might be able to help configure both of our vehicles.

Thanks so much, 
Scott

This is a perfect fit for the back left panel (at about the  1 minute marker)... but it doesn't have an electric heater on top to heat the water (and possibly like in European showers)
