ha. One of my friends got pulled over recently. he was driving erratically in my very quite neighborhood. He was not drunk. but the roads in my suburban 'hood -- Lots and Lots of potholes. Bad enough that the police agreed that he had a point

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
It's horribly tricky. I hate the drop from .10 to .08 because I think it specifically targets casual drinkers and that the greater dangers have been from people WAAAY over the legal limit. It's splitting hairs. I know it's wrong to drive impaired but I've driven so sleepy I've almost fallen asleep at the wheel and I don't think I would have been arrested if I had been stopped.
Hee. Given our limit's 0.05, I find this mildly entertaining.

See, this is why I'm glad there are three bars within walking distance of my apartment.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
On the list of things not helping me sleep: earthquake, 4.4.

The status is NOT quo.
ita, it woke me up out of a sound sleep, and now I'm quietly feaking out and bemoaning the fact that my paltry five hours of sleep may now be more like three. Damn is the commute going to suck this morning.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Quake woke me. Can't get back to sleep. Fuck.

Yep, pretty much.

I was already mildly awake, but it felt like somebody grabbed my bed and shook it, and I can't settle down.

Ditto. I envy Drew his ability to wake up, mutter "earthquake," and fall back asleep. Also, I apparently cricked my neck when the bed jumped, and it hurts. And I have to get up in 90 minutes. And yes, I would like some cheese with my whine. Being woken up on little sleep makes me 3.

Ugh. I woke up three or four times last night, but not for as good a reason.
