One of my dad's cats used to commute with him the 90 miles or so down from the mountains (on sabbatical) once a week. She was fine with it, just napped on the dash where she could look out, or the back window. But 15 minutes from the destination, she'd be all up in your face, yelling at you. She'd put her front paws on your collarbones and just push, yelling with catfood breath right at your chin.

She knew how long it was supposed to take. God help us if we got caught in a missile roadblock, she'd start yelling at 1 hour 45.

I don't let my current cats loose because...well, they'd cause an accident.

Swouncing

Kuma also does the same thing. He lies down once we are going past about 40 and stands up when we slow down again.

Great, Kat, spoil my lame physics joke with the facts.

But, no, really, that's quite interesting - they feel the difference in speed, it seems, from your post, from the car's responses? That's more than I could do before learning to drive and having to feel the actual difference and the time to change gears.

Today was a good day for several friends: one gave birth to a healthy baby girl, one was cleared in an investigation concerning a car accident she was involved in, one finished unpacking from her move. I hope the good vibes will be shared.

The status is NOT quo.

Also...do I really have to take a damned vision and knowledge test to get my CA license? Really? I've had my license since 1991, for chrissake.

Feh.

DMV's across the nation can bite me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Also...do I really have to take a damned vision and knowledge test to get my CA license? Really? I've had my license since 1991, for chrissake.

I had to. CA was the only state I've moved to that required the knowledge test.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

CA was the only state I've moved to that required the knowledge test.

NC does too. Not that either of you is moving here, of course.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

IIRC O level biology, the inner ear can sense stuff like acceleration and deceleration (at least I think that's where they keep the organs).

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

There are also other fonts designed for easy readability on screen (Trebuchet MS, for example) that I prefer the look of. Plus, most of the time we're presenting the font at sizes where the whiskering really doesn't matter all that much anyway.

DX is me.

KAT! HAPPY DAY OF BIRTH!

I can't even.

DMV's across the nation can bite me.

They are not worthy.

Best of luck on your journey, Kristin. Daniel and Windsparrow have set the bar high, so we'll be expecting rest stop wifi updates.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I had to take the written test to get my La DL. That was because I waited too long between letting my california license expire and getting a louisiana one, though. I forget why I did that. I had a reason, probably something to do with insurance and not having a car. Oh, and losing my california license and not having a copy of my birth certificate. I had lots of reasons!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

CA was the only state I've moved to that required the knowledge test.

MN requires knowledge and vision. Bastiges.
