In that same vein. Fewer signs make streets safer. [link]
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

I was shocked that nobody pulled over until the last possible minute for an ambulance.
I got yelled at for doing that (edit: pulling over at all) in Houston a while back. Apparently there, you aren't supposed to. Beats me.

Rt 128 in MA is also more dangerous because it was built on the cheap (governor's non-civil-engineer brother in charge)
Why does this suprise not one bit?

According to my roommate, who grew up here, the bad design and execution displayed led to a Boston Globe editorial about why nobody ever complains about competent nepotism.

Bumper sticker: "Using your turn signal is not giving information to the enemy"
I so want this. You know, if I owned a car.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It's funny, 'cause I seem to go 75 all the time. It's the limit out here. And everyone seems to drive it, with a few exceptions. Then as I head east, the limit drops to 70, but everyone takes 5. Then it drops to 65, but everyone takes 10. It's odd.
"Using your turn signal is not giving information to the enemy"
Bwah! I used to feel this way in Indianapolis. Not about the turn signal, just about the general attitude. There was my current location, and there was my destination, and there was me in my car. Anything or anyone else between me and my destination was merely an obstacle to be overcome. My friends used to laugh at me. "We were waving at you, but you were so serious on the highway." Ah, but you were merely a speck on the lens of my destination.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
One thing I like about Chicagoland drivers is that it's ingrained in them to pull over to the right lane/shoulder and stop as soon as you hear a siren. When I was out at my sister's in Las Vegas last week, I was shocked that nobody pulled over until the last possible minute for an ambulance.
OMG, that makes me INSANE here. Don't people know that they can use it to their advantage? I.e., slide through a red light to make room for the ambulance? Man, I hope I never need emergent care in midtown Manhattan.

Well, the body really does need a place for bumper stickers. Lapel pins just aren't big enough.
