I'm not even sure I could deal with it if I weren't the person at fault, especially if the person injured/killed was also not at fault.

Part of me screams at every careless motorcyclist for just this reason. So vulnerable!

What's wrong with this picture:

The success of this recipe depends on good-quality produce.

Sure, Cook's Illustrated. I'll get right on that.

I'm not entirely sure how I'm not destroying the world right now.

My big fear is being first in line at a stop light where there are pedestrians and being hit from behind.

My eyes just about rolled out of my head. Of all the MSCM crazinesses, the War On Christmas may just be the one that makes me go "Whuh?" the most.

Yeah, Christianity has survived a couple of thousand years of tremendous infighting and occasional outright hostilitiy. I'm pretty sure it can take a couple of "Happy Holidays" before it shrivels and dies of it.

I love turbulence. I go "ooh! turbies!" and tighten the buckle and try not to roll my eyes at people who are getting a little rediculous* about it. People pay good money for this at amusement parks, this is a freebie! It's delightfully random. There's nothing to HIT.

Once when I was over the Andes in the middle of the night our plane did a sharp dip to the left, sharp dip to the right, sharp dip to the left and then righted its self. Really quick. The whole thing lasted maybe five seconds. It was SO COOL. I think I was one of the only awake people on the plane (so nobody was upset). I assume it was some sort of updraft off the mountains, but I sometimes picture the pilots acting like something out of a Farside cartoon.


*there is a distinction in my mind between "a little freaked" and "rediculous"

Sure, Cook's Illustrated. I'll get right on that.

ita, I had the same reaction.

But what I really came to post was PRETTY PRETTY SNOW! YAAAAAAAAAY SNOW!

I wish I had taken to day off for the wedding. My sister's home, my mom and dad are home, my brother's on his way home. And I'm stuck at work, with a boo-boo lip, being pouty, with only my ramen to look forward to.

Maybe I'll go have a smokey-treat and make a list of something.

Also, I mean, Christmas is not that major a Christian holiday! Go fight a frelling war on Easter, would you?

Hey it's just "Happy Hollidays" now, but let that go unchecked and the next thing you know it will just end up all commercialized.

Yeah, wind blowing over mountains causes turbulent air downwind.

My fave story is when a jet hit turbulence and the captain put on the seatbelt sign. A woman got up to use the bathroom. She was told to take her seat and she refused. She got verbally abusive with the flight crew and continued to the bathroom. Then the plane hit some monster turbulence, and she was thrown up against the ceiling and back to the floor. She broke her leg badly.

She sued the airline. (Dunno what happened.)

The snow is already changing to rain.
