Cars are supposed to allow cycles the same space they would allow a car and are never to occupy the same horizontal stretch of the same lane.
Not in CA! Lane splitting is actually legal here. So motorcycles CAN occupy contiguous horizontal space to a car. I am pretty good about watching for lane splitters. But honestly, if you are going 80 mph on a motorcycle, lane splitting where two major freeways merge, where the rest of us are going 10 mph.... you might get hit.
I'm watching PD right now and loving it. It's my gift for spending over 110 miles in my car today (I shit you not) and spending 3 hours in my car since I left work today. But I did get to snuggle Gracie.

That REALLY freaked me out driving there. Especially in dual left turn lanes. Dude, I once hit a bicyclist. I really don't want to tempt fate.
Glad Gracesnugglage was had.
Lori was there with Noah when I got there. Noah is talky meat and Grace was like, "ZIP IT, Little Brother! You are horning in on MY time."
Heh. D did these dramatic SIGHS when his brother was wailing over good cause (hungry, sewer diaper) and it took attention away from him. Oh, and he told me I wasn't "very good at this." Siblings. Never without complaint, no matter how wee.
I'm oding on vitamins and v8 fruit juices (weird stuff) to hopefully avoid the plane plague. Don't want to need to be banished!
happy birthday, sumi!
saw the freaky walking luggage.
took the quiz - got Kucinich, But There are others I'd be happy with. Just because I think we should have left the war weeks ago doesn't mean I think that that is practical. and there was no place to say -hey - that's important to me , but I don't really expect a politician to agree with me. and there are a number of places where that is the case.
So I sent an email to someone this afternoon about some upcoming travel plans. She typed out a response. Which she then sent to my father with a request to forward to me since she...didn't have an address.

Happy birthday, Sumi!
I always think about meeting you for the first time. Which was you spotting us in the street in Chicago and saying, "Are you Buffistas?"
Which we were. Then you came to lunch with us.
ION, Barry Bonds has been indicted on four counts of perjury during the BALCO Grand Jury.
My favorite perspective-giving quote is from a Wall Street financier who said, "If your problems don't have the word 'inoperable' or 'indicted' in them, then they're not as bad as you think."
Well, he's indicted now, so he's in some deep shit. This will bum Emmett out.
I have a nephew a couple years younger than Emmett who I'm sure is really upset about it. They were at the game when he broke the record.
The laundry basket chasing the ball was hilarious.
The walking luggage was freaky but very cool.
I'm caught up with Natter for the first time in weeks!
