  1. I don't know why you bothered with the rest of the blog entries. These numbers pretty much tell the whole story.

    Oh, and how many times have you had tacos?

  2. I love it! The high correlation between MPG and books read by Emily makes me wonder... if you got better MPG would that mean MORE books read to keep the pattern... or less because you have less time for reading? Inquiring minds want to know.

  3. Mike: After the tacos for dinner, the breakfast barfurritos, the quesadillas (they count) at your place, we have had mexican a few more times, if you can imagine. If we go somewhere and there are fish tacos on the menu, Emily gets them. So I would put the count at: 21.

    Anne: I would say MPG and Books read by Emily are positively correlated. The more miles between fueling means less times she has to get out to scrape the bug crap off the windshield (her self-appointed gas station duty). However, Books read are also inversely correlated to average speed, as through the mountains we average 50% less speed, and she completes twice as many books.
