Yeah, I thought that rolly thing was kind of an important function of the tire. I mean, the control and the stopping are nice side benefits, for sure.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's not like you have to control or stop if you don't get rolling in the first place.

Ummm...that's an oddly written piece of info about the tires, indeed.

Kristin, that sounds very annoying. I hope it is over soon.
Someone remind me that going to Maine will be fun. I'm not feeling it right now.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Do *they* know that is not entirely accurate? Hell, it's only barely accurate. Dude, your tires are the only thing on your car that has contact with the road. They are slightly more important than just in stopping and turning unless you plan to be driving a damned unguided missile. And I don't know how you'd get that moving without tires, either.
Which is good, because if she did she would drive one.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Dude, guided missiles only. Speed is nothing without control.

My bad.
Does it make you even a little happy that the earth's rotation means that you're always going about a thousand miles per hour?

Maine will be fun, sj! DH was just telling me that a friend of his is going to Maine in October and how great that will be.

Thanks -t. I know complaining about a vacation is lame. Things are hard for me right now.

I'm sorry things are hard. I am much more in favor of things being easy.
I don't think complaining about a vacation is lame, though. Planning vacations can be stressy - I bailed on a major portion of my last one because it was just too much trouble and that was so the right call.
