All right, I give. You are all right! I am underestimating the amount of time it takes to get from the c/w to the center of the intersection.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Most of the lights are timed so you can do that around here. And I am a timid driver, and I can do it. Happily there are less of them down here than then there are in sf or oakland

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

Wrod on the left hand turns.
Timid and/or slow drivers on the freeway infuriate me. It's a FREEWAY, not your suburban street! IMHO, slow drivers are the most dangerous people on the road because they force otherwise normal drivers to do dangerous things just get around them.

bon, I think the moving into the intersection on a left turn, IMHO, doesn't matter so much for the first car but is a courtesy to the second. The first car is going to get through anyway, it's the second that won't.
That being said, I too think that being angry about those who don't inch forward is sort of overblown.

Eh--often, what I've seen is that the ones who don't inch forward are then too slow/timid to get out there in time to get through at all, and have to wait another cycle.
But I also remember being 16 and scared to death I was going to hit something. Or someone. Or be hit.
On a different note: i actually got a great response (one) from an ad I put up on a personals site. Huh! We'll see--from what she said description-wise, I suspect she's not quite my type, but I really liked what she wrote, so maybe a friend at least...and I'm certainly eager to see a picture...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Randomly, if I wanted to make those thumbprint cookies with jam in the middle, would I just use a basic sugar cookie recipe? Googling shows me ones that are rolled in nuts or whatever, which seems more elaborate than I'm looking for.

Jesse, I'd think it would work out fine with sugar cookies.
I'm STARVING. And bored. Want cookies.

Here's a simple one, Jesse. Although I'd lose the chocolate chips. Ick.
Kat--mostly what I see is that the 1st person that doesn't pull out doesn't make the turn (these are big intersections like Olympic--you HAVE to get started), and when the light cycles again, then they pull forward. Lesson learned, but why on my time?

I guess I could also use one of the rolled-in-nuts recipes, too, eh. And either not roll them, or buy nuts! I'm thinking I'll bake for my minion's last day on Tuesday. I can't decide if I should do an all-staff thing, or just for our department. Hmm.
